Photograph Caption
Marina has been captured by pirates and sold into slavery in a brothel. In this scene, she appeals for mercy to Lysimachus, Governor of Mytilene.
Dialogue
Marina: "If you were born to honor, show it now;
If put upon you, make the judgment good
That thought you worthy of it...
For me that am a maid, though most ungentle fortune
Have placed me in this sty, where, since I came,
Diseases have been sold dearer than physic,
Oh, that the gods
Would set me free from this unhallowed place,
Though they did change me to the meanest bird
That flies i' the purer air!"
Lysimachus: "I did not think
Thou couldst have spoke so well--ne'er dreamed thou couldst.
Had I brought hither a corrupted mind,
Thy speech had altered it. Hold, here's gold for thee.
Persevere in that clear way thou goest,
And the gods strengthen thee!" (IV.vi.99-113)
