[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?
1475
- Thaisa. It is my lord's.
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,
1480 My wedded lord, I ne'er shall see again,
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,
1485 Where you may abide till your date expire.
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.
1490
[Exeunt]
