- # Pericles Prince of Tyre.
## Enter the King and Knights from Tihing.
**King.** Knights, to say you're welcome, were superfluous.
I place upon the volume of your deeds,
As in a Title page, your worth in armes,
Were more than you expect, or more than's fit,
Since every worth in shew commends is selfe:
Prepare for mirth, for mirth becomes a Feast.
You are Princes, and my guesses.
**Thos.** But you my Knight and guest,
To whom this Wreath of victorie I giue,
And crowne you King of this dayes happinese.
**Pers.** Tis more by Fortune (Lady) than my Merit.
**King.** Call it by what you will, the day is your,
And here (I hope) is none that enuies it:
In framing an Artist, art hath thus decreed,
To make some good, but others to exceed,
And you are her labour d'choiler: come Queene a th'feast,
For (Daughter) so you are; heere take your place:
Martiall the rest, as they deserve their grace.
**Knights.** We are honour'd much by good Symonides.
**King.** Your presence glads our dayes, honour we loue,
For who hates honour, hates the Gods aboue.
**Marshal.** Sir, yonder is your place.
**Pers.** Some other is more fit.
**s. Knight.** Contend not fir, for we are Gentlemen,
Have neither in our hearts, nor outward eyes,
Enuies the great, nor shall the low despise.
**Pers.** You are right courteous Knights.
**King.** Sit fir, fit.
By love (I wonder) that is King of thoughts,
These Cates resist mee, hee not thought upon.
**Tha.** By lune (that is Queene of mariage)
All Viands that I eate do seeme vnsauery,
Wishing him my meat: sure hee's a gallant Gentleman.
**Km.** Hee's but a countrie Gentleman: ha's done no more
Then other Knights haue done, ha's broken a Staffe,
D. Or
II. iii. 1—35
