Pericles
[II, 2]

Simonides

759

It's fit it should be so; for princes are
A model which heaven makes like to itself:
As jewels lose their glory if neglected,
So princes their renowns if not respected.
'Tis now your honour, daughter, to explain
The labour of each knight in his device.

Pericles
[II, 2]

Thaisa

769

A knight of Sparta, my renowned father;
And the device he bears upon his shield
Is a black Ethiope reaching at the sun
The word, 'Lux tua vita mihi.'

Pericles
[II, 2]

Thaisa

776

A prince of Macedon, my royal father;
And the device he bears upon his shield
Is an arm'd knight that's conquer'd by a lady;
The motto thus, in Spanish, 'Piu por dulzura que por fuerza.'

Pericles
[II, 2]

Thaisa

782

The third of Antioch;
And his device, a wreath of chivalry;
The word, 'Me pompae provexit apex.'
