Act V. Scene
II.
Scene II.—Before the Temple of DIANA at
Ephesus.
Enter GOWER.
Now our sands are almost run;
More a little, and then dumb.
This, my last boon, give me,
For such kindness must relieve me,
That you aptly will suppose
What pageantry, what feats, what shows,
What minstrelsy, and pretty din,
The regent made in Mitylen
To greet the Icing. So he thriv'd,
That he is promis'd to be wiv'd
To fair Marina ', but in no wise
Till he had done his sacrifice,
As Dian bade: whereto being bound,
The interim, pray you, all confound.
Infeather'd briefness sails are fill'd,
And wishes/all out as they're will'd.
At Ephesus, the temple see,
Our king and all his company.
That he can hither come so soon,
Is by your fancy's thankful doom. [Exit.
