2161Per. Thou art a graue and noble Counseller,

2162Most wise in generall, tell me if thou canst, what this mayde

2163is, or what is like to bee , that thus hath made mee

2164weepe.

2165Hel. I know not, but heres the Regent sir of Metaline,

2166speakes nobly of her.

2167Lys. She neuer would tell her parentage,

2168Being demaunded, that she would sit still and weepe.

2169Per. Oh Hellicanus, strike me honored sir, giue mee a

2170gash, put me to present paine, least this great sea of ioyes ru-

2171shing vpon me, ore-beare the shores of my mortalitie, and

2172drowne me with their sweetnesse: Oh come hither,

2173thou that begetst him that did thee beget,

2174Thou that wast borne at sea, buried at Tharsus,

2175And found at sea agen, O Hellicanus,

2176Downe on thy knees, thanke the holie Gods as loud

2177As thunder threatens vs, this is Marina.

2178What was thy mothers name? tell me, but that

2179for truth can neuer be confirm'd inough,

2180Though doubts did euer sleepe.

2181Mar. Frist sir, I pray what is your title?

2182Per. I am Pericles of Tyre, but tell mee now my

2183Drownd Queenes name, as in the rest you sayd,

2184Thou hast beene God-like perfit, the heir of kingdomes,

2185And an other like to Pericles thy father.

2186Ma. Is it no more to be your daughter, then to say, my

2187mothers name was Thaisa, Thaisa was my mother, who did

2188end the minute I began.

2189Pe. Now blessing on thee, rise th'art my child.

2190Giue me fresh garments, mine owne Hellicanus, shee is not

2191dead at Tharsus as shee should haue beene by sauage Cleon,

2192she shall tell thee all, when thou shalt kneele, and iustifie in

2193knowledge, she is thy verie Princes, who is this?
