Pericles
[II, 4]

Second Lord

986

Whose death indeed's the strongest in our censure:
And knowing this kingdom is without a head,—
Like goodly buildings left without a roof
Soon fall to ruin,—your noble self,
That best know how to rule and how to reign,
We thus submit unto,—our sovereign.

Pericles
[II, 4]

Helicanus

Then you love us, we you, and we'll clasp hands:
When peers thus knit, a kingdom ever stands.

Pericles
[V, 3]

Pericles

2614

Heavens make a star of him! Yet there, my queen,
We'll celebrate their nuptials, and ourselves
Will in that kingdom spend our following days:
Our son and daughter shall in Tyrus reign.
Lord Cerimon, we do our longing stay
To hear the rest untold: sir, lead's the way.
