## Gower.
In *Antiochus* and his daughter you haue heard
Of monstrous lust, the due and lust reward:
In *Pericles* his Quccne and Daughter feene,
Although allayi de with Fortune fierce and keene.
Vertue plefced from fell destructions blast,
Lead on by heauen, and crown'd with joy at last.
In *Helycanus* may you well deferie,
A figure of trueth, of faith, of loyaltie:
In reucreud Cerimon there well appears,
The worth that learned charitie aye weares.
For wicked *Cleon* and his wife, when Fame
Had fpend his cursed deede, the honor'd name:
Of *Pericles*, to rage the Cittie turne,
That him and his they in his Pallace burne:
The gods for murder feentle fo content,
To punish, although not done, but meant,
So on your Patience cuermore attending,
New joy wayte on you, heere our play has ending.
# FINIS.
