| SCENE IV. Ephesus. A room in CERIMON's house. |
 |
|
Enter CERIMON and THAISA
|
 |
|
| CERIMON |
 |
|
 |
Madam, this letter, and some certain jewels,
Lay with you in your coffer: which are now
At your command. Know you the character?
|
 |
|
| THAISA |
 |
|
 |
It is my lord's.
5 That I was shipp'd at sea, I well remember,
Even on my eaning time; but whether there
Deliver'd, by the holy gods,
I cannot rightly say. But since King Pericles,
My wedded lord, I ne'er shall see again,
10 A vestal livery will I take me to,
And never more have joy.
|
 |
|
| CERIMON |
 |
|
 |
Madam, if this you purpose as ye speak,
Diana's temple is not distant far,
Where you may abide till your date expire.
15 Moreover, if you please, a niece of mine
Shall there attend you.
|
 |
|
| THAISA |
 |
|
 |
My recompense is thanks, that's all;
Yet my good will is great, though the gift small.
