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.

O you gods!
Why do you make us love your goodly gifts,
And snatch them straight away? We here below
Recall not what we give, and therein may
Use honour with you.

You wish me well.
Being on shore, honouring of Neptune's triumphs,
Seeing this goodly vessel ride before us,
I made to it, to know of whence you are.

Behold him.

This was a goodly person,
Till the disaster that, one mortal night,
Drove him to this.

O, here is
The lady that I sent for. Welcome, fair one!
Is't not a goodly presence?
