Pericles
[III, 1]

Lychorida

1207

Here is a thing too young for such a place,
Who, if it had conceit, would die, as I
Am like to do: take in your arms this piece
Of your dead queen.

Pericles
[IV, 2]

Boult

1709

Master, I have gone through for this piece, you see:
if you like her, so; if not, I have lost my earnest.

Pericles
[IV, 2]

Bawd

1800

Boult, spend thou that in the town: report what a
sojourner we have; you'll lose nothing by custom.
When nature flamed this piece, she meant thee a good
turn; therefore say what a paragon she is, and thou
hast the harvest out of thine own report.

Pericles
[IV, 3]

Cleon

1816

O Dionyza, such a piece of slaughter
The sun and moon ne'er look'd upon!

Pericles
[IV, 6]

Lysimachus

2050

For me, be you thoughten
That I came with no ill intent; for to me
The very doors and windows savour vilely.
Fare thee well. Thou art a piece of virtue, and
I doubt not but thy training hath been noble.
Hold, here's more gold for thee.
A curse upon him, die he like a thief,
That robs thee of thy goodness! If thou dost
Hear from me, it shall be for thy good.

Pericles
[IV, 6]

Boult

I beseech your honour, one piece for me.

An if she were a thornier piece of ground than she
is, she shall be ploughed.
