Chapter 18 act five

Enter the old man. Marina jumped out of the fire pit, Beginning her life teaching: Her singing is not like the world; She dances gracefully; Especially her needlework, The chemical industry also has to give up three points, Flowers, birds, branches and leaves on the stick There is no difference between living and living. She recruited many disciples, Among them are many ladies and famous ladies, Their mothers who respect the teacher, She gave it all to the bustard. Doesn't mean she settled down here, And her father at sea; His ships are blown by the wind, lost the direction of the voyage;

Who would have guessed that the god of heaven Desiring to bring his father and daughter together, blew him to Mitilene, Suspend levy here. but said that the inhabitants of Mitilene Every year, worship the god of the sea; Lasimakas Presiding over the ceremony, He saw Tyre's ships, The banner was black, In order to find out what it is, He hurriedly sailed to visit. Please use your imagination a bit more, Here is Pharaoh's boat, Untold joys and sorrows, They all performed well on stage. (Down) In the first scene outside the port of Mytilene, with Lichris on board.Tents are set up on the deck, and curtains are covered in front.Peli Chris lay down on the couch in the tent.A boat docked next to the big ship

Aboard the two sailors, one is the one on the big ship, the other is the one on the boat; aboard Helicanus, meet the two sailors. Sailor of Tyre (to Sailor of Mytilene): Lord Helicanus does not know where; he can answer you.what!Here he is. —My lord, there is a boat from Mitilene, and in it is Governor Lasimachus, who asks to come aboard our ship.What do you think? Helicanus invite him up.Call some guards out. Tyrian sailors, guards!The adults are calling you. Enter two or three guards. Is Lord Guard calling us? Guards of Helicanus, a man of great importance is coming to our ship; please go and meet me, and do not lose your manners. (Guards and sailors disembark and board.)

Lasimakas led his servants, guards, and two sailors into the boat. My lord Sailor Tyre, this lord can answer all your inquiries. Blessings from Lasimakas, respectable old man!May the gods bless you! Lord Helicanus, may your lifespan exceed my current age; may your wealth last forever, and may your future generations be blessed! Rasimakas, you are so kind and prayerful.I was offering sacrifices to the God of the Sea on the seashore just now, when I suddenly saw your magnificent ship passing by our sea, so I came here to ask where you came from. Helicanus first, please tell me what kind of person you are?

Lacimachus I am the governor of this city before you. Lord Helicanus, our ship is from Tyre, and our king is on board; he has not spoken a word to anyone in the past three months, and although he has managed to eat a little, But in order to continue his sorrow. Lacimacus why did he become like this? Helicanus told a long story; the chief cause of his sorrow was the loss of his dear daughter and wife. Rasimarkas Can we meet him? Helicanus You may see him; but see him in vain; he speaks to none. Lacimacus let me get my wish. Helicanus looked at him. (See Pericris for unveiling.) He was a handsome man, until accidental misfortune made him so, one unfortunate night.

Your Majesty Lasimachus, rejoice!May the gods bless you!Hail, majestic king! Helicanus It is useless; he will not speak to you. My lord, there's a maiden in our Mitilene, and I'll bet she's got a knack for getting him to say a few words. Rasimakas you have a good idea.With her graceful singing voice and all kinds of moving beauty, she will definitely open his closed heart.She was the fairest of all the girls, and was now talking and laughing with her companions in the shade of the trees by the island. (Whispers to Chen A, and Chen A gets off the boat.) Helicanus is fruitless; but we are not willing to let go of any cure, so long as there is hope in case.Your Excellency Domon is so enthusiastic and helpful, I am really grateful; we have another presumptuous request, because we have been sailing for a long time, although there is no shortage of food, but the taste is not fresh, it is boring, so we want to pay for it from you. Some food, I wonder if Your Excellency will allow us?

O Lacimacus!If, my lord, we will not do this little lordship, the just gods will surely send a moth in each of our grains, and starve us all.But let me make another request to you, please tell me in detail the cause of your king's sorrow. Helicanus Sit down, my lord, I can tell you; but behold, we are interrupted. Chen Jia led Marina and another girl back on board from the boat. O Lacimacus!This is the girl I invited.Welcome, beauty!Isn't she beautiful? Helicanus She is a suave girl. Lacimachus She is such a peerless beauty, if I can be sure that she is indeed a descendant of a noble family, I will not make other extravagant wishes, but consider such a wife to be a lifelong blessing.Here, my beauty, is a sick king, in whom you can hope for the highest bounty; if by your cunning you can make him answer a single question of yours, your marvelous art of medicine will make you Get whatever reward you desire.

Mrs. Marina, I am willing to do my best to cure his illness, but on one condition, no one is allowed to come near his side except myself and my female companion. Come Lasimachus, let us leave her; may the gods bless her success! (Marina sings) Did he notice your singing? Marina didn't and never looked at us. Lasimachus Look, she's going to talk to him. Hail Marina, Your Majesty!My lord, hear me say a word. With force Chris Hum!Hey! Your Majesty Marina, I am a young girl, I have never attracted others to pay attention to me, but like a comet, I am always stared at by the world.She speaks to you now, my lord, that her misfortunes, if weighed in accurate scales, might be as heavy as yours.Though ill-fated fate debases me, My ancestors were equal to noble lords; yet time has swamped my heritage, and made me free in this wretched world, To suffer all accidental torments. (Aside) I would not go on; but something seemed to burn my face, and it said to me in my ear, "Don't go, wait till he speaks."

Pelicris My fate - family - very good family - can be compared with mine! --Is it this way?what do you say? (Push Marina.) Marina I said, Your Majesty, if you had known my parentage, you would not have been so rude to me. Pelicus I think so too.Please turn your eyes to me.How much do you look like——Which country are you from?Is it on the coast here? Marina No, I'm not from any coast; But I was born like a mortal, born to be such a man as you see. Pelicris I was so filled with sadness that I couldn't help crying when I opened my mouth.My dearest wife is like this girl, and my daughter, if she were alive, must be like her: my queen has square brows; the same figure is neither tall nor short; Her voice is like a silver bell; her eyes are also like pearls, hidden in the luxurious eyelashes; her steps are the reincarnation of the queen Juno; her moving words make every listener's ears full of pearls. Later, feel greater hunger.Where do you live?

Marina I am a stranger; from the deck you can see where I live. Palicris where did you grow up?How did you acquire such a remarkable talent? Marina: If I tell people my history, they will think it's a lie and despise it. Speak, Pericles; lies will not come from your lips, for you look so upright and true, and from your countenance you look like a palace where the king of truth dwells.I believe you, and if there is anything unbelievable in your account, I will not doubt it; for you look like a man I once loved.Who are some of your relatives?When I saw you in front of my eyes and pushed you away, didn't you say that you have a good family background?

Marina I did say that. Pari Chris tell me who your parents were.I seem to hear you say that you have suffered all kinds of hardships, and you think that if we compare our misfortunes, we may not be able to tell the difference. I have said the same thing as Marina; everything I say is what I think does not violate the facts. Pericles, tell me your story; and if your troubles are worth a thousandth part of my misfortunes, you are a man, and I, like a girl, cannot stand the world grind.Yet you look, like Patience, gazing upon the tombs of kings, and laughing off all misery.What kind of relatives do you have?How can you be separated from them?What's your name, my sweetest girl?Tell me, I'm begging you.Come, sit by my side. Marina My name is Marina. Parry Chris!It's just a joke on me; you must be sent by some angry god to let the world make fun of me. Marina be patient, my lord, or I will stop talking. Hi Pelicris, I will be patient.You have no idea how much I was surprised when you said your name was Marina. The name Marina was taken from me by a powerful man; my father, who was a king. What about Ali Chris!A king's daughter?Is your name Marina? Marina You said you would believe me; but I don't want to disturb your peace, so don't go on. Pelicris, but are you really a living person with flesh and blood?Is your pulse beating?Are you not an elf? ——Sure enough, it beats!OK, let's go on.Where were you born?Why is it called Marina? Marina I was named Marina because I was born at sea. Pair Chris at sea!who is your mother Marina My mother was a king's daughter; she died a minute after I was born, as my good nurse Likorida used to tell me with tears. Parry Chris!Pause for a moment.This is one of the rarest dreams That heavy sleep deceives mournful fools; there never is such a thing.My daughter is buried.OK, where did you grow it?I would like to listen to you without disturbing you until the end of your story. You won't believe me, Marina, so I'd better not go on. Pericles I'm willing to believe every word you say, whatever you're going to say to me.But allow me to ask you one more question: how did you get here?Where did you grow up? Marina My father the king put me in Thassas, and there I lived well, until cruel Creon and his treacherous wife plotted to murder my life; they bribed A wicked man killed me, and just as he was about to strike, a band of pirates came and took me from him, and I was brought to Mytilene by them.But, my good lord, what do you mean by asking such questions?why are you cryingPerhaps you think me a liar; no, on my conscience, I am the daughter of King Pericles, if the good King Pericles lives. Hey Chris, Helicanus! His Majesty Helicanus calling me? Pelicus, you are a venerable and well-informed counselor, can you tell me who this girl is that makes me shed so many tears? Helicanus I do not know; but, my lord, this is the governor of Mytilene, and he admires this lady very much. Lasimakas never told people who her parents were; when asked, she sat silent and wept. Pelicris, Helicanus!Hit me; good old man, cut me a wound, and let me feel some present pain, lest this mighty wave of joy, rushing to me, should drown the shores of my life, and drown me in its bliss. middle.what!Come, that which gave birth to you, now lives again in your hands; born at sea, buried at Thassas, and now found at sea.O Helicanus!Kneel down and thank the holy god with a voice like the thunder that astonished us; this is Marina.What's your mother's name?Just answer this one question for me, because even when there is no doubt the truth never tires of being proved. Your Majesty Marina, let me ask for your title first? Pericles I am Pericles of Tyre.But now tell me the name of my queen who died at sea; everything you have just said is true; you are the heir of two kingdoms, the second life of your father Pericles. Does Marina have to say that my mother's name is Tessa to prove that I am your daughter?Tessa is my mother, and her end is my birthday. Pelicus, bless you!Arise; you are my child.Get my new clothes.My own child, Helicanus; she did not die in Tarsus, though wicked Creon tried to kill her; she will tell you all; and when you kneel and listen, you will Will prove that she is indeed your princess.who is this Your Majesty Helicanus, this is the governor of Mitilene, who has come to visit you because he heard that you are in a bad mood. Pelicus I embrace you.Give me my robe.I was so dizzy that I couldn't see clearly.God, bless my child!But listen!What music?Tell Helicanus, my Marina, and tell him all the time that you are indeed my daughter, for he still seems to have doubts.But what music? Your Majesty Helicanus, I did not hear. Pelicus did not hear!Heavenly music!Listen, my Marina! Lasimachus We should not oppose him, it is better to follow his wishes. With the wonderful sound of Chrissi!Can't you hear me? Your Majesty Lasimachus, I hear you. (music.) With the supreme joy of Chris!It has engulfed my hearing, and a heavy sleep has crept upon my eyes; I want to rest. (sleep.) Lasimakas fetched him a pillow.All right, let's go out.My dear friends, if this proves what I believe, I will never forget you. (Exit all except Pericris.) The goddess Diana appeared to Pericles in a dream. Diana My temple is at Ephesus; go there quickly and offer sacrifices to my altar.When my nuns assemble, in the presence of all, announce how you lost your wife at sea, lament the misfortune of yourself and your daughter, and tell them all in detail.Do as I say, and you may find great happiness, or you shall live forever in sorrow.By my silver bow, I will not deceive you.Wake up and tell everyone about your dream! (Hidden.) Pelicris Divine Diana, silver goddess, I will obey you!Helicanus! Re-enter Helicanus, Lasimachus, and Marina. His Majesty Helicanus? Pericles I meant to go to Tarsas, and punish the ungrateful Creon; but I'll do something else now, turn our full sails to Ephesus, and I'll wait I will tell you why. (to Lasimachus) My lord, may we exchange gold with you for some of the food we need, and feast on your shores? That, my lord Lasimachus, is absolutely welcome; When you land, I have one more request to you. Pericles Your request will be granted, even if you propose to my daughter; for you seem to be very interested in her. Your Majesty Lasimachus, let me take your arm. Come with Lichris, my Marina. (same below.) Second Ephesus.In front of the Temple of Diana Enter the old man. The sand in the clepsydra is about to drop, Soon all will be silent, This is my last rap, Please don't blame me for talking. Joyful Mitilene, Welcome the guests from afar, There is a lot of bustle and bustle, These need not be detailed. It turns out that our governor Has already been promised by the old king, the girl he adores Has become his future bride; But the goddess must be sacrificed, Then hold the wedding, Therefore, the crowd on this line, Once again moved overseas. As the old saying goes, nothing is short, Arrived early on the coast of Ephesus; Behold the majestic temple, How many people have been seduced! They can come in an instant, It all depends on your belief that the false is true. (Down.) The third scene is Ephesus.Temple of Diana.Tessa, the priestess, stood near the altar.Several nuns separated on both sides.Salimon and other Ephesian residents stand before the altar Enter Alexis with attendants; Lasimachus, Helicanus, Marina, and her companions.

Tessa's same voice and look!You are, you are - O noble Pelicris! --(faint.) What does the nun Pelicris mean?she died!Everyone, let's see if she can be saved. Your Majesty Salimon, if what you said before the altar of Diana is true, this is your wife. No, old Mr. Pericles; with these hands I cast her into the sea myself. SALIMON I'm sure it's near this shore where you threw her. There is no doubt about it. Salimon took good care of the queen.what!She was just overjoyed.On a stormy morning, she was swept ashore here by the waves.I opened the chest, and found in it hidden precious jewels; I brought her back to life, and made her shelter in this temple of Diana. Can you show me what's in that box, Pelicris? Your Majesty Salimon, if you are willing to come down to the room, I will definitely let you take a closer look.look!Tessa woke up.
