GOWER
In Helicanus, you have seen
A soul of truth, of faith and loyalty.
In Cerimon, you have felt
The worth of learned charity
To heal what wounds the world hath dealt.
Pericles, his Queen and daughter known,
Assail’d by oceans’ wat’ry blasts,
Preserved and crown’d with joy at last,
Their ending yet remains unshown.
GHOSTS
A new joy wait upon you.
A new joy.
GOWER
Cleon and his wife’s corruption smelt,
Their people turned and burned them where they dwelt.
For Antiochus and his daughter, you have heard
How heaven sent them fire.
I’ll let you decide if they deserved.
For you, have we wished a life to waste.
To feel, smell, see, here we’ve had a taste.
This is a song that old was sung:
Mortals chase their heart’s desire
Toward the water, toward the fire,
And when your play, at last, is done
A new joy wait upon you.
GOWER / GHOSTS
A new joy wait upon you.
A new joy wait upon you.
A new joy.
