THAISA

                               O, let me look.
               If he be none of mine, my sanctity
               Will to my sense bend no licentious ear, [30]

               But curb it, spite of seeing. O, my lord,
               Are you not Pericles? Like him you spake,
               Like him you are. Did you not name a tempest,
               A birth, and death?



              PERICLES
                               The voice of dead Thaisa!



              THAISA
               That Thaisa am I, [35]

               Supposèd dead and drowned.



              PERICLES
               Immortal Dian!



              THAISA
                               Now I know you better:
               When we with tears parted Pentapolis,

               The King my father gave you such a ring.


              PERICLES

               This, this! No more, you gods; your present kindness [40]
               Makes my past miseries sports; you shall do well
               That on the touching of her lips I may
               Melt, and no more be seen. O, come, be buried

               A second time within these arms.


              MARINA

                               My heart
               Leaps to be gone into my mother’s bosom. [45]
                                                         She kneels.
