350 So this is
Tyre, and this the Court, heere mu
st I kill
351King
Pericles, and if I doe it not, I am
sure to be hang'd at
352home : t'is daungerous.
353 Well, I perceiue he was a wi
se fellowe, and had good
354di
scretion, that beeing bid to aske what hee would of the
355King, de
sired he might knowe none of his
secrets.
356 Now doe I
see hee had
some rea
son for't: for if a
357king bidde a man bee a villaine, hee's bound by the inden
- 358ture of his oath to bee one.
359 Hu
sht, heere comes the Lords of
Tyre.
360Enter Hellicanus, Escanes, with 362Helli. You

374hee'de corre

so puts him
selfe vnto the Ship
- 375mans toyle, with whome eache minute threatens life or
377Thaliard. Well, I perceiue I
