- # The Play of
**Per.** An Armour friends; I pury you let me feel!
Thankes Fortune, year that after all croftes,
Thou giuest me somewhat to repaire my felfe:
And though it was mine-owne part of my heritage,
Which my dead Father did bequeath to me,
With this strict charge euen as he left his life,
Keepeit my *Perycles*, it hath been a Shield
Twirt me and death, and poynted to this brayfe,
For that it fained me, keepe it in like necefsitie:
The which the Gods protest thee, Fame may defend thee:
It kept where I kept, I so dearely lou'dit,
Till the rough Seas, that spares not any man,
Tooke it in rage, though calm'd, hauc giuen't againe:
I thanke thee for't, my shipwracke now's no ill,
Since I-hauc heere my Father gaue in his Will.
1. What nieane you fir?
**Pers.** To begge of you (kind friends) this Coate of worth,
For it was sometime Target to a King;
I know it by this marke: he loued me dearely,
And for his fake, I wish the hauling of it,
And that you'd guide me to your Soueraignes Court,
Where with it, I may appeare a Gentleman:
And if that euer my low fortune's better,
Ile pay your bounties; till then, reft your debter.
1. Why wilt thou turney for the Lady?
**Pers.** Ile shew the vertue I hauc borne in Armies.
1. Why di'ctake it: and the Gods gine thee good an't.
2. I but harke you my friend, t'was wee that made vp this Garment through the rough seames of the Waters: there are certaine Condolements, certaine Vailes: I hope fir, if you thriue, you le remember from whence you had them.
**Pers.** Beleue't, I will:
By your furtherance I am cloth'd in Steele,
And spight of all the rupture of the Sea,
This Jewell holdes his buylding on my arme:
Vnto thy value I will mount my felfe.
Vpon
II. i. 130—169
