Chapter 15 second act

Enter the old man. What a glorious monarch, adulterated his own daughter; Another wise prince, The encounter is also unusual. Please be patient, everyone. Once he comes back, Like Sai Weng who lost his horse, Replace Tufu with a peak. The gentleman whom I praise, There is no blemish in word or deed, the favored Thassian Admire his wisdom and talents, Build him a statue, It shows his immeasurable merits and virtues. It's a pity that the good times lasted for a while, Here comes the music of the motherland again. Pantomime: Pelicus and Creon each led their attendants to the side, and the two talked.A scholar from the other court wrote a letter to Pericles from the other door; Pericles wrote a letter to Creon, rewarded the envoy, and awarded him the title of knight.Exit with Licris, Creon and others.

Good Helicanus, He supported the affairs of state, Do not learn from the lazy bee, Coveting the success of others; To reward the virtuous, to punish the wicked, Not up to his master's trust; Everything, no matter how big or small, He reported it to the king: He said the tyrant came how he plotted to assassinate him, For the safety of his life, Do not linger in Thassas any longer. So on him to sail across the ocean, To ride the stormy sea; Sure enough, the sea is never peaceful, A gust of wind blows down the clouds, A thunderous roar, To the boiling tide of fury, Unable to withstand the turbulent ship,

Was beaten to pieces early. The king he goes with the tide, Sink and float on the sea; It was his destiny not to suffer, Rolled on the beach by the waves, Empty and unaccompanied, There is only one body left. To know what's next, Please continue reading below. (Down.) The first Pantapolis.seaside open space Pari Chris gets wet all over. Stars of the heavens, Pelicris, stop your wrath!Gods of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, please remember that mortals in this world are powerless under your divine power. My fragile body and mind can only bow down to you.well!The sea has washed me over the rocks, and rolled me from shore to shore, and left me a wreck, with no hope but death.You have deprived a king of all that he has, and that is enough to show the greatness of your power; Since you will not let him die in the fish's belly, all he asks is that here he has a quiet death.

Enter THREE FISHERS. First Fisherman Hello, hello!Bitch! Fisherman B Hey!Come and collect the net. First Fisherman Hi, Bucky!I say to you. Third fisherman, what do you say, boss? First Fisherman Look what you're doing!Come quickly, or I will try my best to drag you away. Third Fisherman To tell you the truth, sir, I'm thinking of those poor people who were swept away by the sea just before us. First Fisherman Oh!Poor people!I felt really sad when I heard their voices calling for help, but it's a pity that it's too late for us to take care of ourselves, and how can we take care of them.

Fisherman C Er, boss, didn't I say the same thing when I saw that dolphin jumping and rolling?They say they're half fish and half meat; damn it!As soon as I saw them coming, I knew that another storm was inevitable.Boss, I don't know how those fish survive in the sea. First fisherman Hey, they're just like men on land; the big ones eat the little ones, and our rich misers swim like a whale, and turn over and chase the poor little fish away. Had to be cornered and ended up swallowing them in one gulp.On land I have heard of whales of this kind, too, who would not keep their mouths shut until they had swallowed whole parishes, churches, steeples, bell-towers, and all.

Pair Chris (narrator) for a clever analogy! Fisherman C is the boss, and if I had been a servant in the church, I would have hidden in the bell tower that day. Second Fisherman Why, man? Third Fisherman Because he's sure to swallow me; and when I'm in his stomach, I'll bang the clock so loudly that he'll vomit out the tower, the steeple, the chapel, and the parish.But if our good king Simonides thinks as I do-- Alexis (narrator) Simonides! Third Fisherman, we must clean up all these wandering bees that plunder the nectar produced by worker bees. Pelicris (narration) These fishermen use the aquatic fish in the sea as a topic, how aptly alluding to the weakness of human beings; they understand the truth from the vast ocean, they can distinguish the good and evil of human beings, and make the nobles stand apart! (loud) May you be safe in your work, honest fishermen!

Fisherman B is honest!Good man, what is that?If today is a good day for you, please erase it from the calendar. No one likes days like this. Pelicris You can see that I was washed up on your shore by the tide. Second fisherman This sea is a drunk drunkard, that's why he vomited you on us. Pelicris I am like a ball tossed to and fro on the vast tennis court by the wind and the sea, I beg your mercy; though I never beg. First fisherman, friend, don't you know how to beg?In our country of Greece, beggars are much more comfortable than us workers. Second Fisherman Then you don't know how to catch fish either?

Pelicris I've never had a job like this. Second Fisherman Then you must starve; for in this world, if you can't manage to catch a man, you can't get anything. Pericles I have forgotten my past, but poverty reminds me of my present situation: cold fills my body, my veins are frozen, and my tongue is so stiff and numb that I can't even cry out to you for help and if you will not help me, then when I am dead, please, for the sake of humanity, bury my body. First fisherman, do you mean to die?No, God forbid such a thing!I have a robe here; come, put it on, and warm your body.Hey, what a nice guy!Come, come back with us, we eat meat on holidays, fish on Lent, and puddings and pancakes; you can live in peace.

Pari Chris Thank you, brother. Second Fisherman Hey, friend, you said you don't know how to beg. With force chris I'm just asking. Fisherman B is just asking!Then I will learn to ask for it, so as not to have to eat a whip. What about Pelicris, do beggars in your country have to be whipped? Fisherman B is whipped?Where is such a thing, man?If all the beggars get whipped, I just want to be a police officer, and I don't want anything else.Come on, I'll put the net up. (Exit with Fisherman C.) Pelicris (aside) How funny these working people's jokes are! First Fisherman Listen, friend, do you know where you are?

Pericris doesn't know much. First fisherman I tell you: here is Pantapolis, and our king is good Simonides. Pericles Do you call him good king Simonides? Fisherman Jia: Well, my friend; because he governs the country peacefully and his administration is clear and clear, this title is well-deserved. Pelicris he was a happy king, for his government won good names from the lips of his people.How far is his court from the sea here? First Fisherman Well, my friend, it's only half a day's journey.I tell you, he has a beautiful daughter, and tomorrow is her birthday; countless princes and knights will come from all over the world to compete in martial arts for her love.

Pericles If my fate can help me to achieve my desire, I would like to take part. First fisherman!Friends, everything has to be left to itself, not forced—— Fisherman B and Fisherman C drag their nets. Fisherman B, help, boss, help!There is a fish in this net, just as the rights of the poor are caught in the net, and it cannot be found even if it is searched.Hey!Damn it, you fell off after all, it turned out to be a pair of rust armor. Pair Chris with a pair of armor, friends!Please let me have a look.Thank you, Destiny, for giving me some compensation after all these vicissitudes, though it belonged to me originally, and is a relic of my family from generation to generation.My father passed it on to me when he was dying, and exhorted him repeatedly, "Keep it well, my Pericles, it was once a shield to protect my life;" he pointed to the armor and said, "Because It saved me once, and you should keep it; in case you are in danger—may the gods bless you!—it will also protect you.” Wherever I go, I always Is to carry it with me, I love it so much.The fierce and raging sea, which has no mercy for anyone, takes it away, but returns it to its owner after the calm.Thank you; my shipwreck is no more a disaster now, for my father's relics are still intact. First Fisherman What are you talking about, my friend? Good friends of Pericles, I beg you for this valuable armor, for it was once a king's shield; from this mark I can recognize it.He loves me very much, and I wish to preserve it for his sake.I also ask you to lead me to your king's court, let me put on this armor, and show everyone that I am a man of Chinese birth; if my unfortunate fortune is reversed, I will pay you back. Your great kindness; I will never forget you until my desire to repay you is not fulfilled. First Fisherman Why, will you go to the tournament for the princess? Pelicris I want to show my martial arts. First fisherman, take it then; may the gods bless you! Second Fisherman Well, but listen, my friend; we're the ones who got this dress out of the rough tide.There must be some reward for your efforts; I hope, sir, if you are proud, you will not forget the source of your wealth. Don't worry, Pelicris, I will definitely remember you.Thanks to your help, I am armed; besides, this jewel in my arm has not been lost in the rough seas.I'll use it to buy a steed, whose light trot will dazzle the beholders.However, my friends, I still lack a burqa. Second Fisherman We'll make it for you; My best coat I'll make a robe for you, And I'll lead you to court myself. Pericles May I obtain the honor I desire; this time, if I don't make it to the top, I'm afraid I'll be stuck forever. (same below.) The second game is the same as before.thoroughfare.There is a terrace leading to the martial arts field.There is a canopy next to it, where the king, princess, lady, ministers, etc. sit Enter Simonides, Tessa, courtiers, and attendants. Are the knights of Simonides ready for their parade? Chen Jia informs His Majesty that they have already prepared, and they will come to see His Majesty when he arrives. Simonides, answer them, we wait here; today's parade is to celebrate my daughter's birthday, she sits here, like a young and beautiful goddess, she was born by nature to be admired admiration. (Exit my servant.) Father Tessa, you always like to praise me too much. Simonides That should be so; for kings have the virtue of heaven, and the manner of man; and as jewels lose their splendor when they are neglected, so kings lose their splendor if they are not revered by the people. their honor.Now, daughter, you must explain to me the meaning of each knight's emblem. Tessa I will explain everything to you with all my heart so that you will not be disappointed. A knight enters across the stage, his squire presenting the princess with a shield. Who is this first Simonides? Tessa, a Spartan knight, my father; on his shield is a black man reaching out to the sun, and the inscription is, "Your light keeps the rest alive." Simonides He loves you, and takes you as his life. (The second knight cuts the scene) Who is this second person? Tessa is a Macedonian prince, my father; the pattern on his shield is an armored knight being subdued by a girl, and there is an inscription in Spanish on it, "The beauty is the most powerful who can control the world. (The third knight cuts the scene.) Simonides Who is the third? Tessa He is from Antioch; his pattern is a knight's crown, and the inscription is, "Make the pinnacle of glory." (The fourth knight enters.) Simonides What is the fourth? Tessa's upside-down burning torch with the motto, "Burning the Remnant and Destroying the Remnant." Simonides This means that beauty has its power and will, which can inspire passion or kill. (The fifth knight cuts the scene.) Tessa's fifth is a hand protruding from the cloud, holding a piece of gold that has been tested by the touchstone. The inscription is like this, "So is the faithful." Who is Simonides, the sixth and last knight without squire, gentle and courteous? Tessa seems to be a foreigner; his logo is a dead branch with only a slight blue dew on the tip, and the inscription is, "Wait for the rain and dew to regenerate." Simonides' ingenious sentence; he hoped that from his wretched state he might be blessed by your strength. FIRST CHIEN His appearance is unflattering; Judging by his shabby appearance, it seems that he is more used to wielding a whip than a sword. Second Minister He seems to be a Gentile, otherwise he would not be wearing such a strange costume to join today's glorious procession. Chen B made his armor rust on purpose, in order to polish it brighter after a few falls in the dust today. Simonides We cannot judge a man's heart from his appearance by our own prejudices.But hold on, here come the knights; let us go to the gallery. (Below. Uproar, crowd shouting, "Ah, poor knight!") The third game is the same as before.hall.Banquet Enter Simonides, Tessa, Master of Ceremonies, Ladies, Courtiers, Knights Returning from the Tournament, and Attendants. Simonides, knights, thank you for coming from afar, and it goes without saying that we are most welcome.I don't need to record your martial arts in your merit list, because every kind of true talent can shine in front of the eyes and ears of the world.You are all descendants of the royal family, and the guests at my table, it is rare for you to gather together today, I hope you all have a good time. Tessa But thou art my knight and guest; I crown thee with this crown of victory, And make thee happy king to this day. Princess Peli Chris, this is just a fluke, I dare not covet the sky. Simonides Say what you will, this day's victory is yours; I hope no one here envies your fortune.A man of great ability, must be in front of a group of rivals before he can show his extraordinary skills; you have proved such a man.Come, daughter, thou art queen of this feast, take thy own seat; each according to their rank, and lead them in order. We are greatly honored by the kindness of the virtuous king Simonides of the knights. Simonides Your presence is one of the joys of my life.I love honor, and he who loathes honor loathes the gods. Master of Ceremonies, your seat is over there. Pelicris dare not be, please come to the other one. First knight, don't give in, strong man; we are not small people, and we will never show envy of the virtuous and contempt for the poor in our hearts or in our eyes. Pelicris You are all good knights. Simonides Sit down, strong man, sit down. God Qiao Wu, who is in charge of human thought in Pelicris, as long as I think of her, I feel that these delicacies become bland and tasteless. Tessa (narrator) Juno queen who rules marriages in the world, no matter what food, it loses its taste in my mouth, and I can't wait to swallow him. ――He is such a strong man. Simonides He's but a field-born knight, He's not much better than the others; What's it worth breaking a gun or two? To me, Tessa is like a diamond, not in the same breath as ordinary glass. The king of Pericles was like my father, and reminded me of his glory in the same way; and the princes of the nations surrounded his throne like stars, and he was the sun to whom they adored ;whoever stands in front of him will become a dim twilight, surrendering to his brilliant majesty without crown.But now his son was like a firefly at night, only smoldering a faint light in the darkness, and it was about to disappear in broad daylight.From this we can know that time is the king of the world, he is their parents and their grave; what he gives to the world is only according to his own will, not according to their requirements. Simonides Are you happy, knights? First knight We are so favored by His Majesty, and we are fortunate to be the last, how can we be unhappy? Simonides This glass is filled to the brim, as your hearts are filled with love, with which I wish you health!I wish you all good health! The knights thank your majesty. Wait a minute, Simonides, the knight sitting over there looks gloomy, as if our feast in the palace today has dishonored his status.Tessa, haven't you noticed? Tessa What does that have to do with me, my father? O Simonides!Listen, my daughter; the kings of the world should be like the gods in heaven, Give everything generously to everyone who pays homage to them; otherwise they are just gnats with no voice, and when they die, they only win people. A contemptuous moan.So in order to put some smiles on his face, I order you to drink this toast for him. Tessa alas!My father, how can I be so bold to a strange knight?He may have reproached me for my presumptuousness, since a man often regards a woman's unsolicited offering as a faux pas. What about Simonides!Do as I tell you, or you'll make me angry. Tessa (narrator) By the gods, this is exactly what I want. Simonides Tell him again, I'll ask him where he comes from, what his name is, and what his family is like. Strong Tessa, my father the king salutes you. Pericles thanked him for his kindness. Tessa May your blood flow like the wine in this glass. Pericles I thank him, and you; let me return his cup. Tessa, he would also like to ask you where your hometown is, your name and family background. Pericles I am a gentry of Tyre, and Pericles is my name; I have received considerable education in both literature and martial arts.Because of the desire to explore and adventure in the vast world, unfortunately, he lost his ship and entourage on the rough sea, and was driven to the seashore here by the wind and waves. Tessa thanked his majesty; said his name was Pelicris, a nobleman of Tyre, who lost his ship's entourage because of the storm at sea, and was swept by the waves to the seashore here. Simonides By the gods, I sympathize with his misfortune, and am willing to relieve his sorrow.Come, knights, we have wasted too much time in sitting, let us refresh ourselves with other amusements.Even with your full body armor like yours now, it is very suitable for a soldier's dance.I don't want to listen to your excuses that women's ears are not used to loud music, because all of them love men in arms. (All the knights dancing) That's a good suggestion, see how they dance.Come, strong man; here's a lady, she'll take her breath away too; I've often heard it said, You knights of Tyre are the best at dancing with ladies. Pericles Only those who are used to it, my lord, can have such a skill. O Simonides!We can't agree to your modesty, please jump. (The knights and the ladies dance together) Let go, let go; thank you all; you all danced well, (to Pericles) But you danced best.Bring fire, boys, and send these knights to their lodgings to rest!Strong man, I have ordered them to pack up your quarters right next to my own quarters. Pelicris, I do everything according to His Majesty's will. Simonides, princes, I know that talking about love is your purpose, but it is too late now, everyone should go back and rest for the night, and come back tomorrow to show your skills and try your luck. (same below.) Game 4 Thiel.A room in the Governor's Mansion Enter Helicanus and Escaines. Helicanus Nay, Escaenes, hear me tell you: Antiochus is lustful, sensual, and wrathful, and the supreme god can't bear it because he committed such a great crime, so in him When he and his daughter drove out in a rich palace carriage to show off his great splendor, a burst of heavenly fire fell and burned their bodies into a heap of hateful black ashes; Those who worshiped them during their lifetime were unwilling to help them bury them at this time. Eskenis is a marvelous wonder. Helicanus This is also a clear retribution; although the king is powerful, he cannot escape the condemnation of heaven, and the crime must have its due punishment. Eskenis had a point. Enter two or three courtiers. See, my lord, he doesn't take other people's opinions seriously, whether in private conversation or in the midst of councils. Chen Yi, our dissatisfaction has reached the point where we can't bear it, so we have to express it. Whoever refuses to act in unison, may he be damned forever. Chen Jia then follow me.Lord Helicanus, allow me to speak to you. Is Helicanus speaking to me?very good.Good morning, my lords. First minister Our dissatisfaction has reached the extreme, and now it will be broken like a flood. Helicanus, your dissatisfaction!for what?Do not be sorry to your beloved king. First lord Do not forgive yourself, noble Helicanus; if the prince is alive, let us see him, or tell us where he is.If he is in the world, we are willing to search for him everywhere; if he rests in the grave, we will also find out where his bones are buried.He is our ruler alive, and we must mourn for him when he dies, and elect others to succeed him. The life and death of Chen Yi is the question that worries us the most.Now that there is no owner in the country, it is like a majestic building without a roof, which will soon collapse. You are the most familiar with the administration of the country, so we are willing to recommend you to be our monarch. Long live all your subjects, noble Helicanus! Helicanus For honor's sake, give up your nominations; if you love Prince Pelicles, do not.If I accept your request, it will be tantamount to jumping into the sea, seldom have a minute of peace, and endure the disturbance of wind and waves every hour.Let me ask you to wait for another year. If your king does not come back after this year, then I have no choice but to risk my old age to bear the heavy responsibility of this country.But if my sincerity can't make you submit, then I hope that you will look for his traces everywhere like loyal ministers, and use up your talents and strategies during your travels; Find him, urge him to return, and your immortal exploits will shine through like the diamonds in his crown. FIRST LORD Only fools reject wise words; and since lord Helicanus advises us thus, we will try the chance of travel. Helicanus shows that we are of one mind, let us shake hands tightly: if the ministers can be united like this, the country will never perish. (same below.) Fifth Pantapolis.a room in the palace Enter Simonides, to read the letter; the knights enter from each other, and meet. First Knight Good morning, Wise King Simonides! Simonides, knights, my daughter told me to inform you that she will not marry within this year.Only she knows her reasons, and I have no way to find out from her mouth. Second Knight Shall we see her, my lord? Simonides No, absolutely not; she has shut herself up in her bedroom, and no one can see her.She had a year more to be faithful before the throne of the goddess Diana; before the goddess she had sworn by her virginal chastity never to break her faith. Knight C Although our hearts are reluctant to part, but since this is the case, we have no choice but to say goodbye. (Exit the knights.) Simonides Well, I have slyly coaxed them away; and now let me read my daughter's letter again.She writes here that she is determined to marry the foreign knight, or she would rather live out of the sun for the rest of her life.Very well, madam; I agree with your choice; that's very well; see how decisively she speaks, whether I like it or not!Well, she's well chosen; I'll do my best to make them better.wait!Here he comes; I must now try to test him out. Enter Chris. Pericles May all good fortune befall the wise king Simonides! Simonides May the same luck befall you, strong man!I thank you for the wonderful music you played last night, never were my ears filled with such delightful tunes. His Majesty Christophe deserves a false award, and I am ashamed of it. Simonides could be called a giant of the music world with such a stunt as a single step. Pelicris I am but one of the worst apprentices of Le God, Your Majesty. Simonides Let me ask you a word.what do you think of my daughter A most virtuous princess of Pelicris. Simonides She is beautiful too, isn't she? Pericles is as infinitely beautiful as a bright summer morning. Simonides To tell you the truth, my daughter admires you very much, you must be her teacher, she will be your pupil; so prepare yourself. Pelicris I am not fit to be her teacher. Simonides She does not think so; read this letter. Pericris (aside) What's that?A letter expressing her love for the Knight of Tyre!This must be the king's trick, to end my life. --what!Your Majesty, don't frame me, I'm just a knight in trouble in a foreign land, and I never dare to have any unreasonable love for the princess except for respect. Simonides You have deceived my daughter, you are a villain. Pericles, by the gods, I have not; I never wished the slightest, Nor did I do anything that would win her love or your displeasure. Simonides traitor, you lie! Join forces with Chris the traitor! Simonides Well, traitor. Pericles If it weren't for you being king, I'd make you swallow the traitor. Simonides (narrator) By the gods, I admire his bravery. Pericles My deeds are as honorable as my thoughts, and there is never a trace of meanness.For honor's sake I have come to your court, Not to seduce your daughter from her place; whoever thinks I have ulterior motives, This sword shall prove him an enemy of honor. Simonides, don't you mean that?Here comes my daughter and she can attest to it all. Enter Tessa. Paricris is so good, you are not only wise, but also chaste, please tell your angry father, have I ever dropped a courteous tongue or extended a begging hand to you? Tessa Well, strong man, even if you have done this, which is what I would like to do, who would be offended by it? Simonides Well, sister, are you so sure of yourself? (Narrator) I'm happy, very happy.I will subdue you; I will make you obey. ――Do you dare to pour your love into an unknown person without my permission? (Aside.) Although I don't know what he is, I always feel that he may be as noble as I am in blood. (Loudly) So, sister, listen to me, you must obey my will; you, my lord, listen to me too, you must obey my orders, otherwise I will make you—a husband and wife.Come, come, with your hands and lips you must make your marriage covenant; and after this union I will destroy your hopes and make you suffer--May God be happy to you!what!Are you both satisfied? Tessa Yes, sir, if you love me. Pelicus I love you as I love my own life and blood. Simonides Hey!Do you both agree? Tessa Pericles Yes, if your majesty thinks it not. Simonides, I am very much in favor of your union, and I am willing to complete the marriage for you as soon as possible, and then let you quickly realize your sweet dreams. (same below.)
