This is found in Pericles 4.6.142 as the bawd is disgusted with Marina.
Marina has now totally frustrated her by now, and I can just imagine the bawd screaming "Marry hang you!" The footnote says that it means "Get over it!" Which leads me to believe, the bawd wants Marina to get off her high horse (get over herself or give up) and quit running her customers away. I just thought it was a funny way to say get over it.

"Mean Knight"
This is in Pericles 2.3.60 after Pericles won the tournament for the love of Thaisa.
We talked about this in class, but I thought it was weird that they would shout out mean knight and it be understood as humble instead of what I literally think of mean.

"say your prayers"
This quote was said by Leonine in Pericles 4.1.66.
I thought it was funny because I've heard it said in movies right before someone gets murdered/killed. I didn't know it had been used this long ago! It is so cool. I think people in movies now mean it ironically (because nothing will save the victim unless it's an act of God), but I think in the drama, Leonine actually meant for her to quickly say her last prayers to the gods. Anyway, I just thought that was cool.
