914Wrong not your Prince, you loue.

9151.Lord. Wrong not your selfe then, noble Hellican,

916But if the Prince do liue, let vs salute him,

917Or know what ground's made happy by his breath:

918If in the world he liue, wee'le seeke him out:

919If in his Graue he rest, wee'le find him there,

920And be resolued he liues to gouerne vs:

921Or dead, giue's cause to mourne his funerall,

922And leaue vs to our free election.

9232.Lord. Whose death in deed, the strongest in our sensure,

924And knowing this Kingdome is without a head,

925Like goodly Buyldings left without a Roofe,

926Soone fall to ruine: your noble selfe,

927That best know how to rule, and how to raigne,

928Wee thus submit vnto our Soueraigne.

929Omnes. Liue noble Hellicane.

930Hell. Try honours cause; forbeare your suffrages:

931If that you loue Prince Pericles, forbeare,

932(Take I your wish, I leape into the seas,

933Where's howerly trouble, for a minuts ease)

934A twelue-month longer, let me intreat you

935To forbeare the absence of your King;

936If in which time expir'd, he not returne,

937I shall with aged patience beare your yoake:

938But if I cannot winne you to this loue,

939Goe search like nobles, like noble subiects,

940And in your search, spend your aduenturous worth,

941Whom if you find, and winne vnto returne,

942You shall like Diamonds sit about his Crowne.

9431.Lord. To wisedome, hee's a foole, that will not yeeld:

944And since Lord Hellicane enioyneth vs,

945We with our trauels will endeauour.

946Hell. Then you loue vs, we you, & wee'le claspe hands:

947When Peeres thus knit, a Kingdome euer stands.

9501.Knight. Good morrow to the good Simonides.
