Chapter 16 third act

Enter the old man. Xinglan people scattered, dreams and souls settled down, The house was filled with silence; What a grand wedding feast, Drunk people to sleep like cotton. The civet cat widens its eyes, waiting for the mouse to come out of its hole; The crickets sang before the hearth, The more thirsty you are, the louder you sing. It's just that Xumen is so troublesome, sent the bride and groom into the bridal chamber, I can't say enough to cuddle all night, Forged a jade embryo early. It is my two lips that suffer, Can't say enough about all the knots. Pantomime: Pericles and Simonides lead their attendants from one side; a messenger comes up from the other, meets, kneels and presents a letter to Pericles; Pericles sends a letter to Simonides; kneel.Enter Tessa pregnant with Lycolida; Simonides to Tessa with a letter;

But said the officials of Tire, and seek out their king, After countless toils, Traveled to the ends of the earth and the corners of the earth, Flying out in all directions, sailing for a long journey, Sure enough, he found out where he really was. Court of Simonides And came Tell's voice, Said the tyrant of Antioch Both father and daughter died at the same time; The people of Tyre without a lord, They want a new king, Thanks to Naherikanas Push the advice of the ministers into refusal; In order to suppress traitors, He pleaded with them, Said that if their king Years later, there is still a trace,

He also had to bow down to everyone's expectations, Put this crown on. the news spread All of Napantapolis, Everyone cheered wildly, "Our heir is the king!" He received a call from his homeland, must raise the banner immediately; His princess is pregnant, Willing to travel far with her husband; Licolida, her nurse, Escorted her across the sea, The parting love tears, There is no need to mention it here. And say they have all sailed, Already halfway through the journey; Unexpectedly, the mischievous God, Another gust of wind blew, Float like ducks on water, The ship lost all freedom,

The queen was so frightened that she screamed, There were bursts of abdominal pain. This terrible storm, What was the result after all, There is an explanation on the stage, No need for me to wag my lips and beak, Hear the prince in distress, Express your feelings on board. (Down.) first sea boat Enter Chris. O gods of the Pelicris sea, take back these fury tides that wash over heaven and hell!Angel of the wind, you who called the winds from the depths of the sea, bind them now with brass hoops!Oh, stop your deafening and startling thunder, quench your swift brimstone lightning!what!Licolida, how is my queen?You send such a fierce storm, do you want to stir up all the sea water together?The sailor's whistling was like a whisper in the ear of death, so weak that no one could hear it.Licolida!O Lucina, divine protector, tender mother-in-law who weeps at night!May your spirit come to our bumpy boat and help my queen get out of the pain of childbirth early!

Enter Licolida with the baby. Pelicris, Licolida! Licolida is too immature to be placed in such an environment; if she was sensible, she would die of grief, just as I am dying of pain now.Please take this piece of your late queen's flesh. How, what, Likrida! Licolida Take it easy, my lord; don't add to the waves of the sea with your wails.This is the only remnant left of my mother, A dear little daughter; for her sake, take courage, and grieve not. God Pelicus!Why do you give us something good, make us cherish it, love it, and then suddenly snatch it away?We mortals pay attention to faith and will never take back what has been given to others.

For the sake of this little princess, Likorida, please be at ease, my lord. Pelicris, may your life be safe, for no baby has ever been born in such tumultuous surroundings!May your life be peaceful and serene, for of all the children of kings you came into the world in the most violent of circumstances!May you have endless blessings in the future, you have the power of heaven, earth, water and fire to gather their power and loudly announce the news of your fall to the ground!When you were born, you suffered an irreparable loss; may the merciful gods take care of you! Enter the second sailor.

First Sailor Have you courage, my lord?God bless you! There is courage in Pelicus.I am not afraid of the storm; it has brought upon me the worst misfortunes.But for the sake of the poor little thing, the navigator, I hope it calms down. First sailor, let down that gangway over there!Are you still refusing to stop?Blow, just blow yours! Second Sailor I don't care if the waves jump on it and kiss the moon, as long as the boat turns. First sailor lord, your queen must be thrown into the sea; the sea is so high, and the wind is so strong, It will never be calm if dead men are left in the ship.

Pericles This is your superstition. First Sailor Forgive us, my lord; To those of us who travel by sea, This is an inviolable rule, Our habits are unbreakable.So get her out quickly, for she must be thrown into the sea at once. Pericris do as you wish.The most unfortunate queen! Licolida Here she is, my lord. Pelicris You had a terrible birth, my love; without lamp, without fire, you were all forgotten by the pitiless sky.I don't have time to send you to the grave according to the saint's rite, but I must immediately cast you into the bottom of the bottom without a coffin, where there is neither a tombstone nor a burning lamp, Your dead body must be with simple shells, let the spouting whales and whimpering waves swallow you up!Ah, Licolida!Tell Nestor to bring me spices, ink, white paper, my little box, and my jewels; then tell Nekander to bring me the satin case; and put the child on the pillow.Go, for I'll say a farewell prayer for her; go, woman. (Exit Licolida.)

Second Sailor, sir, we have a nailed and painted box under the hold. Alex thank you.Sailor, what shore is this? Second Sailor We're almost to Tarsus. Pericles to divert your course, good sailor, let us go to Thassus and not to Tyre.When can I arrive in Hong Kong? Second Sailor If the wind holds steady, we'll be there by daylight. Parry Chris!Go to Thassas.I will visit Creon there, for the boy will die before he reaches Tire; in Tarsas I can entrust them with care.Go to your business, good sailor; this body will be brought up as soon as I've settled it. (same below.) Second Ephesus.A room in Salimon's house

Enter Salimon, a servant, and some rescued in peril at sea. Salimon Hey, Philemon! Enter Philemon. Did Master Philemon call me? SALIMON Bring some fire and something to eat for these poor folk; last night's storm was dreadful. I have seen many Philemon storms; but I have never experienced a night like this. Salimon By the time you return, your master is dead; there is nothing to save his life. (to Philemon) Take this prescription to a drugstore and see if it works. (Exit all but SALIMON.) Enter two gentlemen. First Gentleman Good morning, sir. Second Gentleman Hello, Your Excellency.

Mr. Salimon, why are you up so early? First Gentleman, our house is by the sea, and it was shaken by last night's storm like an earthquake, the beams and columns seemed to snap together, and the whole house seemed to be falling down.I escaped out of fear. Second Gentleman That's why we bothered you so early in the morning, not out of love. Salimon, easy to say, easy to say. First Gentleman But I do not understand how a person like your Excellency, who lives in a rich and comfortable environment, is willing to abandon the warm bed for physical and mental recuperation at such an early time. Since there is no compelling reason, a person's How can nature get used to this kind of toil and not feel it? Salimon I have always believed that morality and talent are assets far superior to riches and honors; corrupt descendants can ruin the family of a nobleman and destroy the property of a great rich, but morality and talent can make a mortal man an immortal god .You all know that I have always liked to study the mysterious science of medicine. On the one hand, I searched for classics and invited Yi Fang’s family, and on the other hand, I practiced the medicine myself. As a result, I am very familiar with the medicinal properties of various plants, trees, stones, and stones. Not only can I understand the cause of all diseases This kind of real happiness and satisfaction is definitely not the kind of mediocrity who yearns for unreliable glory, or clings to the money bag, makes fools envy, and death laughs. can dream of. Second Gentleman, you are a great philanthropist in Ephesus, how many people appreciate your grace of regeneration.You are not only skilled and tireless, but also generous; Lord Salimon's reputation is well-known, and time will not fade it. On the second servant's box. First servant; you carry it from there. Salimon What is this? First lord, the sea washed this box ashore just now; it must have drifted off some wreck. SALIMON Put it down; let's see. Servant Yina looked like a coffin. Salimon Whatever it is, it weighs heavily.Pry it open quickly; and it would be a lucky accident if the sea, having swallowed too much gold and silver, should be forced to vomit it to us. Second Servant is right, my lord. Salimon How well nailed and painted!Did the sea wash it up? First lord, I never saw such a big wave take it ashore. Come Salimon, pry it open.wait!I seem to smell a very fragrant fragrance in my nose. Servant Yi smelled a rich and strange fragrance. Salimon I have never smelled such a fragrance.Well, lift the lid of the box, O Almighty God!what is this?A corpse! Servant A strange thing, strange thing! So rich is Salimon's mortuary-clothes; so many precious spices lined about it!There is also a paper certificate!Apollo, help me read the writing on this! "I was the king with Li Chris, and the deceased was Queen Yu. Everything in the world is not enough to make up for this priceless loss. In case this coffin is blown ashore by the wind, it will be discovered by a benevolent gentleman. Please bury it according to the ceremony. Because she was born in heaven, she is the beloved daughter of a king. All the treasures in the coffin will be used as rewards, and the virtues of the gentleman and the bones of the bones will also be invited to the family of heaven, so that life and death can be empathized." If you Still alive, Pelicris, your heart must be shattered with sorrow!This is what happened last night. Second Servant Probably so, sir. Salimon No, it must have been last night, look how fresh she looks!How reckless they were to throw her in the sea.Go to the back room and light a fire; get me all the medicine-chests in my room. (Exit second servant.) A man may be dead for hours on end, but still the fire of life rekindles the overwhelmed spirit.I once heard of an Egyptian who had been dead for nine hours, and finally regained consciousness because of medical treatment. Servants carry medicine chests, towels, and fires. Salimon is well, well; and here comes the fire, and here comes the cloth.Tell 'em to play that rough, melancholy music again; and don't forget the violin--see how foolish you are, you fool!Hey, play music!Please let her breathe some air.Gentlemen, this queen will definitely come back to life; her vitality has been activated, and a trace of warm breath has spit out from her mouth; her coma will not exceed five hours.look!She began to unfurl her flower of life again. Servant, God has placed his hand on you, showing its miraculous power, so that we can only sigh in amazement, and your reputation will be immortal from now on. Salimon she is alive!Behold, the eyelids which shut the lost pair of celestial pearls of Pericles, there have opened their lashes shining like gold, revealing two diamonds of incomparable brilliance, doubling the world riches.Wake up, beautiful person, you have such peerless abundance, let us weep as you narrate your own destiny! (Tessa flexes her limbs.) Tessa dear Diana!Where am I?Where is my husband?What kind of world is this? Second servant, isn't this strange? First servant is a rare thing. Calm down Salimon, two good neighbours!Give me a hand and help her into the next room.Bring some quilts; don't let this matter be careless, for if she faints again, she will be incurable.Come, come; may Aeschyrapius guide us! (Exit all help Tessa.) The third Tassus.A room in Creon's house Enter Pericles, Creon, Dionysia, and Licolida, with Marina in their arms. Most venerable Creon of Pelicris, I must go; my year's time is up, and the chaos of Tyre is at hand.Please both of you, accept my heartfelt thanks; may God be merciful to you! The arrow of Creon's fate, though it has wounded you greatly, has also brought us deep pain. O Dionysia, thy lovely queen!If fate had not been so ruthless, it would be a good thing for you to bring her here, so that my poor eyes can be full of beauty! Pelicris We must obey the will of the gods.If I can also roar and roar like the sea water where she was buried, such a result cannot be avoided.My gentle child was born at sea, so I named her Marina; and now I hand her over to you, and ask for your kind care, bring her up, give her a noble education, and make her acquainted with All the manners and manners that her position ought to be. Creon, don't worry, Your Highness, our country has been greatly favored by your relief, and the people are still praying for you, and we will never treat your child badly.If I have some negligence, the favored people will compel me to do my duty; but if I really have no conscience, and need to be urged, may the gods condemn me and my children forever! Pericles I believe in you; and even without such oaths, Your honor and honor would give me full confidence in your sincerity.Madam, until she is married, by Diana of light, whom we all worship, I resolve never to cut my hair, though it would make me ugly.Now I must say goodbye.Good lady, please take good care of my child, so that it will benefit me. Dionysia I have a child myself, my lord, I will not spoil her more than your little princess. Mrs. Pelicles, I thank you and pray for you. Creon Let us send His Royal Highness to the sea, and then let the gentle wind and calm sea escort you back. Pelicris I appreciate your kindness.Come, dearest lady.what!Don't cry, Licolida, don't cry; take care of your little princess, for you will depend on her all your life.Come, my lord. (same below.) The fourth scene is Ephesus.A room in Salimon's house Enter Salimon and Tessa. Lady Salimon, this letter and other jewels were in this chest with you; and they are now at your disposal.Do you recognize this handwriting? Tessa This is my husband's handwriting.I remember my voyages well till the time of my confinement; but whether I was born on board or not, by Gods, I cannot tell.But since I can no longer see the side of my husband, King Pelicris, I am willing to practice Taoism for the rest of my life, and I will no longer be greedy for the pleasures of the world. Lady Salimon, if you really mean what you say, then the temple of Diana is not far from here, and you may spend the rest of your life there.And I have a niece who can be with you if you like. Tessa, my only reward is thanks. Please forgive me for my insignificance. (same below.)
