IV,1,1561 |
No, I will rob Tellus of her weed,
To strew thy green with flowers: the yellows, blues,
The purple violets, and marigolds,
Shall as a carpet hang upon thy grave,
While summer-days do last. Ay me! poor maid,
Born in a tempest, when my mother died,
This world to me is like a lasting storm,
Whirring me from my friends.
|
2 |
IV,1,1578 |
No, I pray you;
I'll not bereave you of your servant.
|
3 |
IV,1,1592 |
Well, I will go;
But yet I have no desire to it.
|
4 |
IV,1,1601 |
My thanks, sweet madam.
[Exit DIONYZA]
Is this wind westerly that blows?
|
5 |
IV,1,1605 |
When I was born, the wind was north.
|
6 |
IV,1,1607 |
My father, as nurse said, did never fear,
But cried 'Good seaman!' to the sailors, galling
His kingly hands, haling ropes;
And, clasping to the mast, endured a sea
That almost burst the deck.
|
7 |
IV,1,1613 |
When I was born:
Never was waves nor wind more violent;
And from the ladder-tackle washes off
A canvas-climber. 'Ha!' says one, 'wilt out?'
And with a dropping industry they skip
From stem to stern: the boatswain whistles, and
The master calls, and trebles their confusion.
|
8 |
IV,1,1621 |
What mean you?
|
9 |
IV,1,1626 |
Why will you kill me?
|
10 |
IV,1,1628 |
Why would she have me kill'd?
Now, as I can remember, by my troth,
I never did her hurt in all my life:
I never spake bad word, nor did ill turn
To any living creature: believe me, la,
I never kill'd a mouse, nor hurt a fly:
I trod upon a worm against my will,
But I wept for it. How have I offended,
Wherein my death might yield her any profit,
Or my life imply her any danger?
|
11 |
IV,1,1640 |
You will not do't for all the world, I hope.
You are well favour'd, and your looks foreshow
You have a gentle heart. I saw you lately,
When you caught hurt in parting two that fought:
Good sooth, it show'd well in you: do so now:
Your lady seeks my life; come you between,
And save poor me, the weaker.
|
12 |
IV,2,1730 |
Alack that Leonine was so slack, so slow!
He should have struck, not spoke; or that these pirates,
Not enough barbarous, had not o'erboard thrown me
For to seek my mother!
|
13 |
IV,2,1735 |
That I am pretty.
|
14 |
IV,2,1737 |
I accuse them not.
|
15 |
IV,2,1739 |
The more my fault
To scape his hands where I was like to die.
|
16 |
IV,2,1742 |
No.
|
17 |
IV,2,1746 |
Are you a woman?
|
18 |
IV,2,1748 |
An honest woman, or not a woman.
|
19 |
IV,2,1753 |
The gods defend me!
|
20 |
IV,2,1787 |
I understand you not.
|
21 |
IV,2,1809 |
If fires be hot, knives sharp, or waters deep,
Untied I still my virgin knot will keep.
Diana, aid my purpose!
|
22 |
IV,6,1995 |
I desire to find him so, that I may worthily note him.
|
23 |
IV,6,1998 |
If he govern the country, you are bound to him
indeed; but how honourable he is in that, I know not.
|
24 |
IV,6,2002 |
What he will do graciously, I will thankfully receive.
|
25 |
IV,6,2009 |
What trade, sir?
|
26 |
IV,6,2011 |
I cannot be offended with my trade. Please you to name it.
|
27 |
IV,6,2013 |
E'er since I can remember.
|
28 |
IV,6,2016 |
Earlier too, sir, if now I be one.
|
29 |
IV,6,2019 |
Do you know this house to be a place of such resort,
and will come into 't? I hear say you are of
honourable parts, and are the governor of this place.
|
30 |
IV,6,2023 |
Who is my principal?
|
31 |
IV,6,2031 |
If you were born to honour, show it now;
If put upon you, make the judgment good
That thought you worthy of it.
|
32 |
IV,6,2035 |
For me,
That am a maid, though most ungentle fortune
Have placed me in this sty, where, since I came,
Diseases have been sold dearer than physic,
O, that the gods
Would set me free from this unhallow'd place,
Though they did change me to the meanest bird
That flies i' the purer air!
|
33 |
IV,6,2049 |
The good gods preserve you!
|
34 |
IV,6,2070 |
Whither would you have me?
|
35 |
IV,6,2089 |
Hark, hark, you gods!
|
36 |
IV,6,2096 |
Whither wilt thou have me?
|
37 |
IV,6,2098 |
Prithee, tell me one thing first.
|
38 |
IV,6,2100 |
What canst thou wish thine enemy to be?
|
39 |
IV,6,2102 |
Neither of these are so bad as thou art,
Since they do better thee in their command.
Thou hold'st a place, for which the pained'st fiend
Of hell would not in reputation change:
Thou art the damned doorkeeper to every
Coistrel that comes inquiring for his Tib;
To the choleric fisting of every rogue
Thy ear is liable; thy food is such
As hath been belch'd on by infected lungs.
|
40 |
IV,6,2115 |
Do any thing but this thou doest. Empty
OLD receptacles, or common shores, of filth;
Serve by indenture to the common hangman:
Any of these ways are yet better than this;
For what thou professest, a baboon, could he speak,
Would own a name too dear. O, that the gods
Would safely deliver me from this place!
Here, here's gold for thee.
If that thy master would gain by thee,
Proclaim that I can sing, weave, sew, and dance,
With other virtues, which I'll keep from boast:
And I will undertake all these to teach.
I doubt not but this populous city will
Yield many scholars.
|
41 |
IV,6,2130 |
Prove that I cannot, take me home again,
And prostitute me to the basest groom
That doth frequent your house.
|
42 |
IV,6,2135 |
But amongst honest women.
|
43 |
V,1,2265 |
Sir, I will use
My utmost skill in his recovery, Provided
That none but I and my companion maid
Be suffer'd to come near him.
|
44 |
V,1,2273 |
No, nor look'd on us.
|
45 |
V,1,2275 |
Hail, sir! my lord, lend ear.
|
46 |
V,1,2277 |
I am a maid,
My lord, that ne'er before invited eyes,
But have been gazed on like a comet: she speaks,
My lord, that, may be, hath endured 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.'
|
47 |
V,1,2294 |
I said, my lord, if you did know my parentage,
You would not do me violence.
|
48 |
V,1,2299 |
No, nor of any shores:
Yet I was mortally brought forth, and am
No other than I appear.
|
49 |
V,1,2310 |
Where I am but a stranger: from the deck
You may discern the place.
|
50 |
V,1,2315 |
If I should tell my history, it would seem
Like lies disdain'd in the reporting.
|
51 |
V,1,2328 |
So indeed I did.
|
52 |
V,1,2333 |
Some such thing
I said, and said no more but what my thoughts
Did warrant me was likely.
|
53 |
V,1,2344 |
My name is Marina.
|
54 |
V,1,2348 |
Patience, good sir,
Or here I'll cease.
|
55 |
V,1,2353 |
The name
Was given me by one that had some power,
My father, and a king.
|
56 |
V,1,2358 |
You said you would believe me;
But, not to be a troubler of your peace,
I will end here.
|
57 |
V,1,2365 |
Call'd Marina
For I was born at sea.
|
58 |
V,1,2368 |
My mother was the daughter of a king;
Who died the minute I was born,
As my good nurse Lychorida hath oft
Deliver'd weeping.
|
59 |
V,1,2379 |
You scorn: believe me, 'twere best I did give o'er.
|
60 |
V,1,2383 |
The king my father did in Tarsus leave me;
Till cruel Cleon, with his wicked wife,
Did seek to murder me: and having woo'd
A villain to attempt it, who having drawn to do't,
A crew of pirates came and rescued me;
Brought me to Mytilene. But, good sir,
Whither will you have me? Why do you weep?
It may be,
You think me an impostor: no, good faith;
I am the daughter to King Pericles,
If good King Pericles be.
|
61 |
V,1,2419 |
First, sir, I pray,
What is your title?
|
62 |
V,1,2426 |
Is it no more to be your daughter than
To say my mother's name was Thaisa?
Thaisa was my mother, who did end
The minute I began.
|
63 |
V,3,2573 |
My heart
Leaps to be gone into my mother's bosom.
|
