at sea.

MARINA and LYSIMACHUS.

"MAR. If you were born to honour, show it now: If put upon you, make the judgment good

That thought you worthy of it.

Lys. How's this? How's this?-Some more-be sage.
MAR.
O that the good gods

Would set me free from this unhallow'd place,

Though they did change me to the meanest bird
That flies in the purer air!"

VIII.

PERICLES discovers MARINA, who has been introduced to him as a stranger to relieve his woes by her conversation and her music.

"PERICLES.

O, Helicanus,

Down on thy knees, thank the holy gods, as loud
As thunder threatens us: This is Marina.

What was thy mother's name? Tell me but that,
For truth can never be confirm'd enough,

Though doubts did ever sleep.

PER. Now, blessing on thee, rise; thou art my child.”

"MAR.

Leaps to be gone into my mother's bosom.

My heart

(She kneels to THAISA.)

PER. Look! who kneels here? Flesh of thy flesh,

Thy burden at the sea, and call'd Marina,

For she was yielded there.

THAI.

Blessed, and mine own."

ACT V. S. 3.
