other to the barge; to them HELICANUS
TYRIAN SAILOR. [To the SAILOR of Mytilene] Where is
Lord Helicanus? He can resolve you.
O, here he is.
Sir, there is a barge put off from Mytilene,
And in it is Lysimachus the Governor,
Who craves to come aboard. What is your will?
HELICANUS. That he have his. Call up some gentlemen.
TYRIAN SAILOR. Ho, gentlemen! my lord calls.
Enter two or three GENTLEMEN
FIRST GENTLEMAN. Doth your lordship call?
HELICANUS. Gentlemen, there is some of worth would come aboard;
I pray greet him fairly.
The GENTLEMEN and the two SAILORS descend, and
go on board the barge. Enter, from thence,
LYSIMACHUS and LORDS, with the GENTLEMEN and the
two SAILORS
TYRIAN SAILOR. Sir,
This is the man that can, in aught you would, Resolve you.
LYSIMACHUS. Hail, reverend sir! The gods preserve you!
HELICANUS. And you, sir, to outlive the age I am,
And die as I would do.
LYSIMACHUS. You wish me well.
Being on shore, honouring of Neptune's triumphs,
Seeing this goodlyvessel ride before us,
I made to it, to know of whence you are.
HELICANUS. First, what is your place?
LYSIMACHUS. I am the Governor
Of this place you lie before.
HELICANUS. Sir,
Our vessel is of Tyre, in it the King;
A man who for this three months hath not spoken
To any one, nor taken sustenance
But to prorogue his grief.
LYSIMACHUS. Upon what ground is his distemperature?
HELICANUS. 'Twould be too tedious to repeat;
But the main grief springs from the loss
Of a beloved daughter and a wife.
LYSIMACHUS. May we not see him?
HELICANUS. You may;
But bootless is your sight-he will not speak
To any.
LYSIMACHUS. Yet let me obtain my wish.
HELICANUS. Behold him. [PERICLES discovered] This was
a goodly person
Till the disaster that, one mortal night,
Drove him to this.
LYSIMACHUS. Sir King, all hail! The gods preserve you!
Hail, royal sir!
HELICANUS. It is in vain; he will not speak to you.
FIRST LORD. Sir, we have a maid in Mytilene, I durst wager,
Would win some words of him.
LYSIMACHUS. 'Tis well bethought.
She, questionless, with her sweet harmony
And other chosen attractions, would allure,
And make a batt'ry through his deafen'd parts,
Which now are midway stopp'd.
She is all happy as the fairest of all,
And, with her fellow maids, is now upon
The leafy shelter that abuts against
The island's side.
[He whispers FIRST LORD, who goes off in
the barge of LYSIMACHUS]
HELICANUS. Sure, all's effectless; yet nothing we'll omit
That bears recovery's name. But, since your kindness
We have stretch'd thus far, let us beseech you
That for our gold we may provision have,
Wherein we are not destitute for want,
But weary for the staleness.
LYSIMACHUS. O sir, a courtesy
Which if we should deny, the most just gods
For every graff would send a caterpillar,
And so inflict our province. Yet once more
Let me entreat to know at large the cause
Of your king's sorrow.
HELICANUS. Sit, sir, I will recount it to you.
But, see, I am prevented.
Re-enter, from the barge, FIRST LORD, With MARINA and another girl
LYSIMACHUS. O, here is
The lady that I sent for. Welcome, fair one!
Is't not a goodly presence?
HELICANUS. She's a gallant lady.
LYSIMACHUS. She's such a one that, were I well assur'd
Came of gentle kind and noble stock,
I'd wish no better choice, and think me rarely wed.
Fair one, all goodness that consists in bounty
Expect even here, where is a kingly patient.
If that thy prosperous and artificial feat
Can draw him but to answer thee in aught,
Thy sacred physic shall receive such pay
As thy desires can wish.
MARINA. Sir, I will use
My utmost skill in his recovery,
Provided
That none but I and my companion maid
Be suffered to come near him.
LYSIMACHUS. Come, let us leave her;
And the gods make her prosperous! [MARINA Sings]
LYSIMACHUS. Mark'd he your music?
MARINA. No, nor look'd on us.
LYSIMACHUS. See, she will speak to him.
MARINA. Hail sir! my lord, lend ear.
PERICLES. Hum, ha!
MARINA. I am a maid,
My lord, that ne'er before invited eyes,
But have been gaz'd on like a comet. She speaks,
My lord, that, may be, hath endur'd a grief
Might equal yours, if both were justly weigh'd.
Though wayward fortune did malign my state,
My derivation was from ancestors
Who stood equivalent with mighty kings;
But time hath rooted out my parentage,
And to the world and awkward casualties
Bound me in servitude. [Aside] I will desist;
But there is something glows upon my cheek,
And whispers in mine ear 'Go not till he speak.'
PERICLES. My fortunes-parentage-good parentage-
To equal mine!-was it not thus? What say you?
MARINA. I said, my lord, if you did know my parentage
You would not do me violence.
PERICLES. I do think so. Pray you turn your eyes upon me.
You are like something that- What countrywoman?
Here of these shores?
MARINA. No, nor of any shores.
Yet I was mortally brought forth, and am
No other than I appear.
PERICLES. I am great with woe, and shall deliver weeping.
My dearest wife was like this maid, and such a one
My daughter might have been: my queen's square brows
Her stature to an inch; as wand-like straight;
As silver-voic'd; her eyes as jewel-like,
And cas'd as richly; in pace another Juno;
Who starves the ears she feeds, and makes them hungry
The more she gives them speech. Where do you live?
MARINA. Where I am but a stranger. From the deck
You may discern the place.
PERICLES. Where were you bred?
And how achiev'd you these endowments, which
You make more rich to owe?
MARINA. If I should tell my history, it would seem
Like lies, disdain'd in the reporting.
PERICLES. Prithee speak.
Falseness cannot come from thee; for thou lookest
Modest as Justice, and thou seem'st a palace
For the crown'd Truth to dwell in. I will believe thee,
And make my senses credit thy relation
To points that seem impossible; for thou lookest
Like one I lov'd indeed. What were thy friends?
Didst thou not say, when I did push thee back-
Which was when I perceiv'd thee-that thou cam'st
From good descending?
MARINA. So indeed I did.
PERICLES. Report thy parentage. I think thou said'st
Thou hadst been toss'd from wrong to injury,
And that thou thought'st thy griefs might equal mine,
If both were opened.
MARINA. Some such thing
I said, and said no more but what my thoughts
Did warrant me was likely.
PERICLES. Tell thy story;
If thine consider'd prove the thousand part
Of my endurance, thou art a man, and I
Have suffered like a girl. Yet thou dost look
Like Patience gazing on kings' graves, and smiling
Extremity out of act. What were thy friends?
How lost thou them? Thy name, my most kind virgin?
Recount, I do beseech thee. Come, sit by me.
MARINA. My name is Marina.
PERICLES. O, I am mock'd,
And thou by some incensed god sent hither
To make the world to laugh at me.
MARINA. Patience, good sir,
Or here I'll cease.
PERICLES. Nay, I'll be patient.
Thou little know'st how thou dost startle me
To call thyself Marina.
MARINA. The name
Was given me by one that had some power,
My father, and a king.
PERICLES. How! a king's daughter?
And call'd Marina?
MARINA. You said you would believe me;
But, not to be a troubler of your peace,
I will end here.
PERICLES. But are you flesh and blood?
Have you a working pulse, and are no fairy?
Motion! Well; speak on. Where were you born?
And wherefore call'd Marina?
MARINA. Call'd Marina
For I was born at sea.
PERICLES. At sea! what mother?
MARINA. My mother was the daughter of a king;
Who died the minute I was born,
As my good nurse Lychorida hath oft
Delivered weeping.
PERICLES. O, stop there a little!
[Aside] This is the rarest dream that e'er dull sleep
Did mock sad fools withal. This cannot be:
My daughter's buried.-Well, where were you bred?
I'll hear you more, to th' bottom of your story,
And never interrupt you.
TYRIAN SAILOR. [To the SAILOR of Mytilene] Where is
Lord Helicanus? He can resolve you.
O, here he is.
Sir, there is a barge put off from Mytilene,
And in it is Lysimachus the Governor,

The GENTLEMEN and the two SAILORS descend, and
go on board the barge. Enter, from thence,
LYSIMACHUS and LORDS, with the GENTLEMEN and the
