Pericles, Prince of Tyre: Act 4 Scene 5

Scene V Mytilene. A street before the brothel.

[Enter, from the brothel, two Gentlemen]

FIRST GENTLEMAN

Did you ever hear the like?

SECOND GENTLEMAN

No, nor never shall do in such a place as this, she

being once gone.

FIRST GENTLEMAN

But to have divinity preached there! did you ever

dream of such a thing?

SECOND GENTLEMAN

No, no. Come, I am for no more bawdy-houses:

shall's go hear the vestals sing?

FIRST GENTLEMAN

I'll do any thing now that is virtuous; but I

am out of the road of rutting for ever.

[Exeunt]
