- # Pericles Prince of Tyre.
From whence they have their nourishment?
**Per.** Thou knowest I have power to take thy life from
**Hel.** I have ground the Axe my selfe,
(they)
Doe but you strike the blowe.
**Per.** Rife, prethee rife, sit downe, thou art no flatterer,
I thank thee fort, and he auë forbid
That kings should let their cares heare their faults hid.
Fit Counsellor, and seruant for a Prince,
Who by thy wifdome makes a Prince thy seruant,
What wouldst thou haue me doe?
**Hel.** To beare with patience such griefes as you your
selfe doe lay vpon your selfe.
**Per.** Thou speakst like a Physition Hellicanus,
That ministers a potion vnto me:
That thou wouldst tremble to receive thy selfe,
Attend me then, I went to Antioch,
Whereas thou knowst against the face of death,
I sought the purchase of a glorious beautic,
From whence an issue I might propogate,
Are armes to Princes, and being ioies to subiects,
Her face was to mine eye beyond all wonder,
The rest harke in thine care, as blacke as incest,
Which by my knowledge found, the sinful father
Seemde not to strike, but smooth, but thou knowst this,
Tis time to seare when tyrants seemes to kisse.
Which seare so grew in me I hither fled,
Under the couering of a carefull night,
Who seemd my good protector, and being here,
Bethought what was past, what might succeed,
I knew him tyrannicus, and tyrants seare
Decrease not, but grow faster then the yeares,
And should he doo't, as no doubt he doth,
That I should open to the listning ayre,
How many worthic Princes blouds were shed,
To keep his bed of blackneise vnlayde ope,
B 2
To
I. ii. 55-89
