Upon a stranger? (Aside) who, for aught I know,
May be, nor can I think the contrary,
As great in blood as I myself. −
Therefore, hear you, mistress, either frame

Your will to mine − and you, sir, hear you, [80]
Either be ruled by me, or I’ll make you −
Man and wife.
Nay, come, your hands and lips must seal it too.

And being joined, I’ll thus your hopes destroy,
And for further grief − God give you joy! [85]
What, are you both pleased?

THAISA
Yes, if you love me, sir?

PERICLES
Even as my life my blood that fosters it.

SIMONIDES
What, are you both agreed?

PERICLES and THAISA
Yes, if’t please your majesty.

SIMONIDES
It pleaseth me so well that I will see you wed; [90]
And then, with what haste you can, get you to bed.
Exeunt.
