Pericles, Prince of Tyre: Act 5 Scene 2
Scene II:
- [Enter GOWER, before the temple of DIANA at Ephesus]
- GOWER
- Now our sands are almost run;
- More a little, and then dumb.
- This, my last boon, give me,
- For such kindness must relieve me,
- That you aptly will suppose
- What pageantry, what feats, what shows,
- What minstrelsy, and pretty din,
- The regent made in Mytilene
- To greet the king. So he thrived,
- That he is promised to be wived
- To fair Marina; but in no wise
- Till he had done his sacrifice,
- As Dian bade: whereto being bound,
- The interim, pray you, all confound.
- In feather'd briefness sails are fill'd,
- And wishes fall out as they're will'd.
- At Ephesus, the temple see,
- Our king and all his company.
- That he can hither come so soon,
- Is by your fancy's thankful doom.
- [Exit]
