Act III, Scene 4

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? 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]
