Antiochus responds, acknowledging Pericles' interpretation of his edict but offering a forty-day reprieve, suggesting a potential for mercy if a secret is undone within that time. The introduction concludes with Pericles reflecting on the hypocrisy of covering up sin.","description_generated_at":"2026-01-30T06:26:30.564Z","description_model":"gemini-2.5-flash-lite","description_title":"Introduction (Pericles Prince of Tyre)","end_line":15233,"extracted_at":"2026-01-30T06:24:08.806Z","extracted_by":"structure-extraction-lambda","label":"Introduction","source_file":"01KG6S2X2EBB305ENM00G16GWA","start_line":15189,"text":"# Pericles Prince of Tyre.\n\n**Peri.** Great King,\nFew loue to heare the finnes they loue to ačt,\nT’would brayde your felfe too neare for me to tell it:\nWho has a booke of all that Monarches doe,\nHee’s more fecure to keepe it fhut, then fhowne.\nFor Vice repeated, is like the wandring Wind,\nBlowes duft in others eyes to fpread it felfe;\nAnd yet the end of all is bought thus deare,\nThe breath is gone, and the fore eyes fee cleare:\nTo ftop the Ayre would hurt them, the blind Mole caftes\nCopt hilles towards heauen, to tell the earth is throng’d\nBy mans opprefsion, and the poore Worme doth die for’t:\nKinges are earths Gods in vice, their law’s their will:\nAnd if loue ftray, who dares fay, loue doth ill:\nIt is enough you know, and it is fit;\nWhat being more knowne, growes worfe, to finother it.\nAll loue the Wombe that their firft beeing bred,\nThen giue my tongue like leaue, to loue my head.
