   0  <T title>The Tempest
   0  <X 1> <Y 1> <T dsd> {A tempestuous noise of thunder and lightning        +
   0  heard. Enter [severally] a Shipmaster and a Boatswain}
   1  <S MASTER> <T prose> Boatswain!
   2  <S BOATSWAIN> Here, Master. What cheer?
   3  <S MASTER> Good, speak to th' mariners. Fall to 't yarely, or
   4  we run ourselves aground. Bestir, bestir!<T esd> {Exit}
   5  <T dsd> {Enter Mariners}<S BOATSWAIN> <T prose> Heigh, my hearts!        +
   5  Cheerly, cheerly, my hearts!
   6  Yare, yare! Take in the topsail! Tend to th' Master's
   7  whistle!_Blow till thou burst thy wind, if room enough.<T dsd> {Enter    +
   7  Alonso, Sebastian, Antonio, Ferdinand, Gonzalo, and others}
   8  <S ALONSO> <T prose> Good Boatswain, have care. Where's the Master?
   9  <T asd> {(To the Mariners)}<T prose> Play the men!
  10  <S BOATSWAIN> I pray now, keep below.
  11  <S ANTONIO> Where is the Master, Boatswain?
  12  <S BOATSWAIN> Do you not hear him? You mar our labour.
  13  Keep your cabins; you do assist the storm.
  14  <S GONZALO> Nay, good, be patient.
  15  <S BOATSWAIN> When the sea is. Hence! What cares these
  16  roarers for the name of king? To cabin! Silence; trouble
  17  us not.
  18  <S GONZALO> Good, yet remember whom thou hast aboard.
  19  <S BOATSWAIN> None that I more love than myself. You are
  20  a councillor; if you can command these elements to
  21  silence and work peace of the present, we will not hand
  22  a rope more. Use your authority. If you cannot, give
  23  thanks you have lived so long and make yourself ready
  24  in your cabin for the mischance of the hour, if it so
  25  hap.<T asd> {(To the Mariners)}<T prose> Cheerly, good hearts!<T asd>    +
  25  {(To Gonzalo)}
  26  <T prose> Out of our way, I say!<T esd> {Exit}
  27  <S GONZALO> <T prose> I have great comfort from this fellow. Methinks
  28  he hath no drowning mark upon him; his complexion
  29  is perfect gallows. Stand fast, good Fate, to his hanging.
  30  Make the rope of his destiny our cable, for our own
  31  doth little advantage. If he be not born to be hanged,
  32  our case is miserable.<T esd> {Exeunt [Courtiers]}
  33  <T dsd> {Enter Boatswain}<S BOATSWAIN> <T prose> Down with the topmast!  +
  33  Yare! Lower, lower!
  34  Bring her to try wi' th' main-course!<T dsd> {A cry within}
  35  <T prose> A plague upon this howling! They are louder than the
  36  weather, or our office.<T dsd> {Enter Sebastian, Antonio, and Gonzalo}
  37  <T prose> Yet again? What do you here? Shall we give o'er and
  38  drown? Have you a mind to sink?
  39  <S SEBASTIAN> A pox o' your throat, you bawling, blasphemous,
  40  incharitable dog!
  41  <S BOATSWAIN> Work you, then.
  42  <S ANTONIO> Hang, cur, hang, you whoreson insolent noise-
  43  maker. We are less afraid to be drowned than thou art.<T esd> {[Exeunt   +
  43  Mariners]}
  44  <S GONZALO> <T prose> I'll warrant him for drowning, though the ship
  45  were no stronger than a nutshell and as leaky as an
  46  unstanched wench.
  47  <S BOATSWAIN> Lay her a-hold, a-hold! Set her two courses!
  48  Off to sea again! Lay her off!<T dsd> {Enter Mariners, wet}
  49  <S MARINERS> <T prose> All lost! To prayers, to prayers! All             +
  49  lost!<T esd> {[Exeunt Mariners]}
  50  <S BOATSWAIN> <T prose> What, must our mouths be cold?
  51  <S GONZALO> <T verse> The King and Prince at prayers! Let's assist       +
  51  them,
  52B For our case is as theirs.<S SEBASTIAN> I'm out of patience.
  53  <S ANTONIO> We are merely cheated of our lives by drunkards.
  54  This wide-chopped rascal_would thou mightst lie drowning
  55B The washing of ten tides.<S GONZALO> He'll be hanged yet,
  56  Though every drop of water swear against it
  57B And gape at wid'st to glut him.<T dsd> {A confused noise                 +
  57B within}<S MARINERS> <T asd> {(within)}<T verse> Mercy on us!
  58  We split, we split! Farewell, my wife and children!
  59  Farewell, brother! We split, we split, we split!<T esd> {[Exit           +
  59  Boatswain]}
  60B <S ANTONIO> <T verse> Let's all sink wi' th' King.<S SEBASTIAN> Let's    +
  60B take leave of him.<T esd> {Exeunt Antonio and Sebastian}
  61  <S GONZALO> <T prose> Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea
  62  for an acre of barren ground: long heath, broom, furze,
  63  anything. The wills above be done, but I would fain
  64  die a dry death.<T esd> {Exit}
   0  <Y 2> <T dsd> {Enter Prospero [in his magic cloak, with a staff], and    +
   0  Miranda}
   1  <S MIRANDA> <T verse> If by your art, my dearest father, you have
   2  Put the wild waters in this roar, allay them.
   3  The sky, it seems, would pour down stinking pitch,
   4  But that the sea, mounting to th' welkin's cheek,
   5  Dashes the fire out. O, I have suffere\d
   6  With those that I saw suffer! A brave vessel,
   7  Who had, no doubt, some noble creature in her,
   8  Dashed all to pieces! O, the cry did knock
   9  Against my very heart! Poor souls, they perished.
  10  Had I been any god of power, I would
  11  Have sunk the sea within the earth, or ere
  12  It should the good ship so have swallowed and
  13B The fraughting souls within her.<S PROSPERO> Be collected.
  14  No more amazement. Tell your piteous heart
  15B There's no harm done.<S MIRANDA> O woe the day!<S PROSPERO> No harm.
  16  I have done nothing but in care of thee,
  17  Of thee, my dear one, thee, my daughter, who
  18  Art ignorant of what thou art, naught knowing
  19  Of whence I am, nor that I am more better
  20  Than Prospero, master of a full poor cell
  21B And thy no greater father.<S MIRANDA> More to know
  22B Did never meddle with my thoughts.<S PROSPERO> 'Tis time
  23  I should inform thee farther. Lend thy hand,
  24B And pluck my magic garment from me.<T dsd> {Miranda removes Prospero's   +
  24B cloak, [and he lays it on the ground]}<T verse> So.
  25  Lie there, my art._Wipe thou thine eyes; have comfort.
  26  The direful spectacle of the wreck, which touched
  27  The very virtue of compassion in thee,
  28  I have with such provision in mine art
  29  So safely ordered that there is no soul_
  30  No, not so much perdition as an hair
  31  Betid to any creature in the vessel,
  32  Which thou heard'st cry, which thou saw'st sink. Sit down,
  33B For thou must now know farther.<T dsd> {Miranda sits}<S MIRANDA>         +
  33B <T verse> You have often
  34  Begun to tell me what I am, but stopped
  35  And left me to a bootless inquisition,
  36B Concluding `Stay; not yet".<S PROSPERO> The hour's now come.
  37  The very minute bids thee ope thine ear,
  38  Obey, and be attentive. Canst thou remember
  39  A time before we came unto this cell?
  40  I do not think thou canst, for then thou wast not
  41B Out three years old.<S MIRANDA> Certainly, sir, I can.
  42  <S PROSPERO> By what? By any other house or person?
  43  Of anything the image tell me that
  44B Hath kept with thy remembrance.<S MIRANDA> 'Tis far off,
  45  And rather like a dream than an assurance
  46  That my remembrance warrants. Had I not
  47  Four or five women once that tended me?
  48  <S PROSPERO> Thou hadst, and more, Miranda. But how is it
  49  That this lives in thy mind? What seest thou else
  50  In the dark backward and abyss of time?
  51  If thou rememb'rest aught ere thou cam'st here,
  52B How thou cam'st here thou mayst.<S MIRANDA> But that I do not.
  53  <S PROSPERO> Twelve year since, Miranda, twelve year since,
  54  Thy father was the Duke of Milan, and
  55B A prince of power_<S MIRANDA> Sir, are not you my father?
  56  <S PROSPERO> Thy mother was a piece of virtue, and
  57  She said thou wast my daughter; and thy father
  58  Was Duke of Milan, and his only heir
  59B And princess no worse issued.<S MIRANDA> O the heavens!
  60  What foul play had we that we came from thence?
  61B Or blesse\d was 't we did?<S PROSPERO> Both, both, my girl.
  62  By foul play, as thou sayst, were we heaved thence,
  63B But blessedly holp hither.<S MIRANDA> O, my heart bleeds
  64  To think o' th' teen that I have turned you to,
  65  Which is from my remembrance. Please you, farther.
  66  <S PROSPERO> My brother and thy uncle called Antonio_
  67  I pray thee mark me, that a brother should
  68  Be so perfidious_he whom next thyself
  69  Of all the world I loved, and to him put
  70  The manage of my state_as at that time
  71  Through all the signories it was the first,
  72  And Prospero the prime duke_being so reputed
  73  In dignity, and for the liberal arts
  74  Without a parallel_those being all my study,
  75  The government I cast upon my brother,
  76  And to my state grew stranger, being transported
  77  And rapt in secret studies. Thy false uncle_
  78B Dost thou attend me?<S MIRANDA> Sir, most heedfully.
  79  <S PROSPERO> Being once perfected how to grant suits,
  80  How to deny them, who t' advance and who
  81  To trash for over-topping, new created
  82  The creatures that were mine, I say_or changed 'em
  83  Or else new formed 'em; having both the key
  84  Of officer and office, set all hearts i' th' state
  85  To what tune pleased his ear, that now he was
  86  The ivy which had hid my princely trunk
  87  And sucked my verdure out on 't. Thou attend'st not!
  88B <S MIRANDA> O good sir, I do.<S PROSPERO> I pray thee mark me.
  89  I, thus neglecting worldly ends, all dedicated
  90  To closeness and the bettering of my mind
  91  With that which but by being so retired
  92  O'er-priced all popular rate, in my false brother
  93  Awaked an evil nature; and my trust,
  94  Like a good parent, did beget of him
  95  A falsehood, in its contrary as great
  96  As my trust was, which had indeed no limit,
  97  A confidence sans bound. He being thus lorded
  98  Not only with what my revenue yielded
  99  But what my power might else exact, like one
 100  Who having into truth, by telling oft,
 101  Made such a sinner of his memory
 102  To credit his own lie, he did believe
 103  He was indeed the Duke. Out o' th' substitution,
 104  And executing th' outward face of royalty
 105  With all prerogative, hence his ambition growing_
 106B Dost thou hear ?<S MIRANDA> Your tale, sir, would cure deafness.
 107  <S PROSPERO> To have no screen between this part he played
 108  And him he played it for, he needs will be
 109  Absolute Milan. Me, poor man_my library
 110  Was dukedom large enough_of temporal royalties
 111  He thinks me now incapable; confederates,
 112  So dry he was for sway, wi' th' King of Naples
 113  To give him annual tribute, do him homage,
 114  Subject his coronet to his crown, and bend
 115  The dukedom, yet unbowed_alas, poor Milan_
 116B To most ignoble stooping.<S MIRANDA> O the heavens!
 117  <S PROSPERO> Mark his condition and th' event, then tell me
 118B If this might be a brother.<S MIRANDA> I should sin
 119  To think but nobly of my grandmother.
 120B Good wombs have borne bad sons.<S PROSPERO> Now the condition.
 121  This King of Naples, being an enemy
 122  To me inveterate, hearkens my brother's suit;
 123  Which was that he, in lieu o' th' premises
 124  Of homage and I know not how much tribute,
 125  Should presently extirpate me and mine
 126  Out of the dukedom, and confer fair Milan,
 127  With all the honours, on my brother. Whereon,
 128  A treacherous army levied, one midnight
 129  Fated to th' purpose did Antonio open
 130  The gates of Milan; and, i' th' dead of darkness,
 131  The ministers for th' purpose hurried thence
 132B Me and thy crying self.<S MIRANDA> Alack, for pity!
 133  I, not rememb'ring how I cried out then,
 134  Will cry it o'er again; it is a hint
 135B That wrings mine eyes to 't.<S PROSPERO> <T asd> {[sitting]}<T verse>    +
 135B Hear a little further,
 136  And then I'll bring thee to the present business
 137  Which now's upon 's, without the which this story
 138B Were most impertinent.<S MIRANDA> Wherefore did they not
 139B That hour destroy us?<S PROSPERO> Well demanded, wench;
 140  My tale provokes that question. Dear, they durst not,
 141  So dear the love my people bore me; nor set
 142  A mark so bloody on the business, but
 143  With colours fairer painted their foul ends.
 144  In few, they hurried us aboard a barque,
 145  Bore us some leagues to sea, where they prepared
 146  A rotten carcass of a butt, not rigged,
 147  Nor tackle, sail, nor mast_the very rats
 148  Instinctively have quit it. There they hoist us,
 149  To cry to th' sea that roared to us, to sigh
 150  To th' winds, whose pity, sighing back again,
 151B Did us but loving wrong.<S MIRANDA> Alack, what trouble
 152B Was I then to you!<S PROSPERO> O, a cherubin
 153  Thou wast that did preserve me. Thou didst smile,
 154  Infuse\d with a fortitude from heaven,
 155  When I have decked the sea with drops full salt,
 156  Under my burden groaned; which raised in me
 157  An undergoing stomach, to bear up
 158  Against what should ensue.
 159A <S MIRANDA> How came we ashore?
 160A <S PROSPERO> By providence divine.
 161  Some food we had, and some fresh water, that
 162  A noble Neapolitan, Gonzalo,
 163  Out of his charity_who being then appointed
 164  Master of this design_did give us; with
 165  Rich garments, linens, stuffs, and necessaries
 166  Which since have steaded much. So, of his gentleness,
 167  Knowing I loved my books, he furnished me
 168  From mine own library with volumes that
 169B I prize above my dukedom.<S MIRANDA> Would I might
 170B But ever see that man!<S PROSPERO> Now I arise.<T dsd> {[He stands and   +
 170B puts on his cloak]}
 171  <T verse> Sit still, and hear the last of our sea-sorrow.
 172  Here in this island we arrived, and here
 173  Have I thy schoolmaster made thee more profit
 174  Than other princes can, that have more time
 175  For vainer hours and tutors not so careful.
 176  <S MIRANDA> Heavens thank you for 't. And now I pray you, sir_
 177  For still 'tis beating in my mind_your reason
 178B For raising this sea-storm.<S PROSPERO> Know thus far forth.
 179  By accident most strange, bountiful Fortune,
 180  Now my dear lady, hath mine enemies
 181  Brought to this shore; and by my prescience
 182  I find my zenith doth depend upon
 183  A most auspicious star, whose influence
 184  If now I court not, but omit, my fortunes
 185  Will ever after droop. Here cease more questions.
 186  Thou art inclined to sleep; 'tis a good dullness,
 187  And give it way. I know thou canst not choose.<T dsd> {Miranda sleeps}
 188  <T verse> Come away, servant, come! I am ready now.
 189  Approach, my Ariel, come!<T dsd> {Enter Ariel}
 190  <S ARIEL> <T verse> All hail, great master, grave sir, hail. I come
 191  To answer thy best pleasure. Be 't to fly,
 192  To swim, to dive into the fire, to ride
 193  On the curled clouds, to thy strong bidding task
 194B Ariel and all his quality.<S PROSPERO> Hast thou, spirit,
 195  Performed to point the tempest that I bade thee?
 196A <S ARIEL> To every article.
 197  I boarded the King's ship. Now on the beak,
 198  Now in the waste, the deck, in every cabin,
 199  I flamed amazement. Sometime I'd divide,
 200  And burn in many places; on the top-mast,
 201  The yards, and bowsprit, would I flame distinctly;
 202  Then meet and join. Jove's lightning, the precursors
 203  O' th' dreadful thunderclaps, more momentary
 204  And sight-outrunning were not. The fire and cracks
 205  Of sulphurous roaring the most mighty Neptune
 206  Seem to besiege, and make his bold waves tremble,
 207B Yea, his dread trident shake.<S PROSPERO> My brave spirit!
 208  Who was so firm, so constant, that this coil
 209B Would not infect his reason?<S ARIEL> Not a soul
 210  But felt a fever of the mad, and played
 211  Some tricks of desperation. All but mariners
 212  Plunged in the foaming brine and quit the vessel,
 213  Then all afire with me. The King's son Ferdinand,
 214  With hair upstaring_then like reeds, not hair_
 215  Was the first man that leaped; cried `Hell is empty,
 216B And all the devils are here".<S PROSPERO> Why, that's my spirit!
 217B But was not this nigh shore?<S ARIEL> Close by, my master.
 218B <S PROSPERO> But are they, Ariel, safe?<S ARIEL> Not a hair perished.
 219  On their sustaining garments not a blemish,
 220  But fresher than before. And, as thou bad'st me,
 221  In troops I have dispersed them 'bout the isle.
 222  The King's son have I landed by himself,
 223  Whom I left cooling of the air with sighs
 224  In an odd angle of the isle, and sitting,
 225B His arms in this sad knot.<S PROSPERO> Of the King's ship,
 226  The mariners, say how thou hast disposed,
 227B And all the rest o' th' fleet.<S ARIEL> Safely in harbour
 228  Is the King's ship, in the deep nook where once
 229  Thou called'st me up at midnight to fetch dew
 230  From the still-vexed Bermudas, there she's hid;
 231  The mariners all under hatches stowed,
 232  Who, with a charm joined to their suffered labour,
 233  I have left asleep. And for the rest o' th' fleet,
 234  Which I dispersed, they all have met again,
 235  And are upon the Mediterranean float
 236  Bound sadly home for Naples,
 237  Supposing that they saw the King's ship wrecked,
 238B And his great person perish.<S PROSPERO> Ariel, thy charge
 239  Exactly is performed; but there's more work.
 240B What is the time o' th' day?<S ARIEL> Past the mid season.
 241  <S PROSPERO> At least two glasses. The time 'twixt six and now
 242  Must by us both be spent most preciously.
 243  <S ARIEL> Is there more toil? Since thou dost give me pains,
 244  Let me remember thee what thou hast promised
 245B Which is not yet performed me.<S PROSPERO> How now? Moody?
 246B What is 't thou canst demand?<S ARIEL> My liberty.
 247B <S PROSPERO> Before the time be out? No more!<S ARIEL> I prithee,
 248  Remember I have done thee worthy service,
 249  Told thee no lies, made thee no mistakings, served
 250  Without or grudge or grumblings. Thou did promise
 251B To bate me a full year.<S PROSPERO> Dost thou forget
 252B From what a torment I did free thee?<S ARIEL> No.
 253  <S PROSPERO> Thou dost, and think'st it much to tread the ooze
 254  Of the salt deep,
 255  To run upon the sharp wind of the north,
 256  To do me business in the veins o' th' earth
 257B When it is baked with frost.<S ARIEL> I do not, sir.
 258  <S PROSPERO> Thou liest, malignant thing. Hast thou forgot
 259  The foul witch Sycorax, who with age and envy
 260  Was grown into a hoop? Hast thou forgot her?
 261B <S ARIEL> No, sir.<S PROSPERO> Thou hast. Where was she born? Speak,     +
 261B tell me!
 262B <S ARIEL> Sir, in Algiers.<S PROSPERO> O, was she so! I must
 263  Once in a month recount what thou hast been,
 264  Which thou forget'st. This damned witch Sycorax,
 265  For mischiefs manifold and sorceries terrible
 266  To enter human hearing, from Algiers
 267  Thou know'st was banished. For one thing she did
 268  They would not take her life. Is not this true?
 269A <S ARIEL> Ay, sir.
 270  <S PROSPERO> This blue-eyed hag was hither brought with child,
 271  And here was left by th' sailors. Thou, my slave,
 272  As thou report'st thyself, was then her servant;
 273  And for thou wast a spirit too delicate
 274  To act her earthy and abhorred commands,
 275  Refusing her grand hests, she did confine thee
 276  By help of her more potent ministers,
 277  And in her most unmitigable rage,
 278  Into a cloven pine; within which rift
 279  Imprisoned thou didst painfully remain
 280  A dozen years, within which space she died
 281  And left thee there, where thou didst vent thy groans
 282  As fast as mill-wheels strike. Then was this island_
 283  Save for the son that she did litter here,
 284  A freckled whelp, hag-born_not honoured with
 285B A human shape.<S ARIEL> Yes, Caliban her son.
 286  <S PROSPERO> Dull thing, I say so: he, that Caliban
 287  Whom now I keep in service. Thou best know'st
 288  What torment I did find thee in. Thy groans
 289  Did make wolves howl, and penetrate the breasts
 290  Of ever-angry bears; it was a torment
 291  To lay upon the damned, which Sycorax
 292  Could not again undo. It was mine art,
 293  When I arrived and heard thee, that made gape
 294B The pine and let thee out.<S ARIEL> I thank thee, master.
 295  <S PROSPERO> If thou more murmur'st, I will rend an oak,
 296  And peg thee in his knotty entrails till
 297B Thou hast howled away twelve winters.<S ARIEL> Pardon, master.
 298  I will be correspondent to command,
 299  And do my spriting gently.
 300A <S PROSPERO> Do so, and after two days
 301B I will discharge thee.<S ARIEL> That's my noble master!
 302  What shall I do? Say what, what shall I do?
 303  <S PROSPERO> Go make thyself like to a nymph o' th' sea. Be subject
 304  To no sight but thine and mine, invisible
 305  To every eyeball else. Go take this shape,
 306  And hither come in 't. Go; hence with diligence!<T esd> {Exit Ariel}
 307  <T verse> Awake, dear heart, awake! Thou hast slept well;
 308B Awake.<S MIRANDA> <T asd> {(awaking)}<T verse> The strangeness of your   +
 308B story put
 309B Heaviness in me.<S PROSPERO> Shake it off. Come on;
 310  We'll visit Caliban my slave, who never
 311B Yields us kind answer.<S MIRANDA> 'Tis a villain, sir,
 312B I do not love to look on.<S PROSPERO> But as 'tis,
 313  We cannot miss him. He does make our fire,
 314  Fetch in our wood, and serves in offices
 315  That profit us._What ho! Slave, Caliban!
 316B Thou earth, thou, speak!<S CALIBAN> <T asd> {(within)}<T verse> There's  +
 316B wood enough within.
 317  <S PROSPERO> Come forth, I say! There's other business for thee.
 318  Come, thou tortoise! When?<T dsd> {Enter Ariel, like a water-nymph}
 319  <T verse> Fine apparition! My quaint Ariel,
 320B Hark in thine ear.<T dsd> {He whispers}<S ARIEL> <T verse> My lord, it   +
 320B shall be done.<T esd> {Exit}
 321  <S PROSPERO> <T verse> Thou poisonous slave, got by the devil himself
 322  Upon thy wicked dam, come forth!<T dsd> {Enter Caliban}
 323  <S CALIBAN> <T verse> As wicked dew as e'er my mother brushed
 324  With raven's feather from unwholesome fen
 325  Drop on you both! A southwest blow on ye,
 326  And blister you all o'er!
 327  <S PROSPERO> For this be sure tonight thou shalt have cramps,
 328  Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up. Urchins
 329  Shall forth at vast of night, that they may work
 330  All exercise on thee. Thou shalt be pinched
 331  As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging
 332B Than bees that made 'em.<S CALIBAN> I must eat my dinner.
 333  This island's mine, by Sycorax my mother,
 334  Which thou tak'st from me. When thou cam'st first,
 335  Thou strok'st me and made much of me, wouldst give me
 336  Water with berries in 't, and teach me how
 337  To name the bigger light, and how the less,
 338  That burn by day and night; and then I loved thee,
 339  And showed thee all the qualities o' th' isle,
 340  The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile_
 341  Cursed be I that did so! All the charms
 342  Of Sycorax, toads, beetles, bats, light on you;
 343  For I am all the subjects that you have,
 344  Which first was mine own king, and here you sty me
 345  In this hard rock, whiles you do keep from me
 346B The rest o' th' island.<S PROSPERO> Thou most lying slave,
 347  Whom stripes may move, not kindness! I have used thee,
 348  Filth as thou art, with human care, and lodged thee
 349  In mine own cell, till thou didst seek to violate
 350  The honour of my child.
 351  <S CALIBAN> O ho, O ho! Would 't had been done!
 352  Thou didst prevent me; I had peopled else
 353B This isle with Calibans.<S MIRANDA> Abhorre\d slave,
 354  Which any print of goodness wilt not take,
 355  Being capable of all ill! I pitied thee,
 356  Took pains to make thee speak, taught thee each hour
 357  One thing or other. When thou didst not, savage,
 358  Know thine own meaning, but wouldst gabble like
 359  A thing most brutish, I endowed thy purposes
 360  With words that made them known. But thy vile race,
 361  Though thou didst learn, had that in 't which good natures
 362  Could not abide to be with; therefore wast thou
 363  Deservedly confined into this rock,
 364  Who hadst deserved more than a prison.
 365  <S CALIBAN> You taught me language, and my profit on 't
 366  Is I know how to curse. The red plague rid you
 367B For learning me your language!<S PROSPERO> Hag-seed, hence!
 368  Fetch us in fuel. And be quick, thou'rt best,
 369  To answer other business._Shrug'st thou, malice?
 370  If thou neglect'st or dost unwillingly
 371  What I command, I'll rack thee with old cramps,
 372  Fill all thy bones with aches, make thee roar,
 373B That beasts shall tremble at thy din.<S CALIBAN> No, pray thee.
 374  <T asd> {(Aside)}<T verse> I must obey. His art is of such power
 375  It would control my dam's god Setebos,
 376B And make a vassal of him.<S PROSPERO> So, slave, hence!<T esd> {Exit     +

 390  <S FERDINAND> <T verse> Where should this music be? I' th' air or th'    +
 390  earth?
 391  It sounds no more; and sure it waits upon
 392  Some god o' th' island. Sitting on a bank,
 393  Weeping again the King my father's wreck,
 394  This music crept by me upon the waters,
 395  Allaying both their fury and my passion
 396  With its sweet air. Thence I have followed it_
 397  Or it hath drawn me rather. But 'tis gone.
 398  No, it begins again.
 399  <T asd> {Song}<S ARIEL> <T song> Full fathom five thy father lies.

 404  Into something rich and strange.
 405  Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:

 414  It carries a brave form. But 'tis a spirit.
 415  <S PROSPERO> No, wench, it eats and sleeps, and hath such senses
 416  As we have, such. This gallant which thou seest
 417  Was in the wreck, and but he's something stained

 428  How I may bear me here. My prime request,

 430B If you be maid or no?<S MIRANDA> No wonder, sir,
 431B But certainly a maid.<S FERDINAND> My language! Heavens!
 432  I am the best of them that speak this speech,
 433B Were I but where 'tis spoken.<S PROSPERO> How, the best?
 434  What wert thou if the King of Naples heard thee?
 435  <S FERDINAND> A single thing, as I am now that wonders
 436  To hear thee speak of Naples. He does hear me,

 445  good sir.
 446  I fear you have done yourself some wrong. A word.
 447  <S MIRANDA> <T asd> {(aside)}<T verse> Why speaks my father so           +
 447  ungently? This

 452B The Queen of Naples.<S PROSPERO> Soft, sir! One word more.
 453  <T asd> {(Aside)}<T verse> They are both in either's powers. But this    +
 453  swift business
 454  I must uneasy make, lest too light winning
 455  Make the prize light.<T asd> {(To Ferdinand)}<T verse> One word more. I  +
 455  charge thee
 456  That thou attend me. Thou dost here usurp
 457  The name thou ow'st not; and hast put thyself
 458  Upon this island as a spy, to win it

 476B And make thy weapon drop.<S MIRANDA> Beseech you, father!
 477B <S PROSPERO> Hence! Hang not on my garments.<S MIRANDA> Sir, have pity.
 478B I'll be his surety.<S PROSPERO> Silence! One word more

 490  My father's loss, the weakness which I feel,
 491  The wreck of all my friends, nor this man's threats
 492  To whom I am subdued, are but light to me,

 494  Behold this maid. All corners else o' th' earth

   1  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T verse> Beseech you, sir, be merry.   +
   1  You have cause,
   2  So have we all, of joy; for our escape
   3  Is much beyond our loss. Our hint of woe
   4  Is common; every day some sailor's wife,
   5  The masters of some merchant, and the merchant,
   6  Have just our theme of woe. But for the miracle,
   7  I mean our preservation, few in millions
   8  Can speak like us. Then wisely, good sir, weigh
   9B Our sorrow with our comfort.<S ALONSO> Prithee, peace.
  10  <S SEBASTIAN> <T asd> {(to Antonio)}<T prose> He receives comfort like   +
  10  cold
  11  porridge.
  12  <S ANTONIO> The visitor will not give him o'er so.
  13  <S SEBASTIAN> Look, he's winding up the watch of his wit.
  14  By and by it will strike.
  15  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T prose> Sir_
  16  <S SEBASTIAN> <T asd> {(to Antonio)}<T prose> One: tell.
  17  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T verse> When every grief is           +
  17  entertained that's offered,
  18  Comes to th' entertainer_
  19  <S SEBASTIAN> <T prose> A dollar.
  20  <S GONZALO> Dolour comes to him indeed. You have spoken
  21  truer than you purposed.
  22  <S SEBASTIAN> You have taken it wiselier than I meant you
  23  should.
  24  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T prose> Therefore my lord_

  27  <S ALONSO> <T asd> {(to Gonzalo)}<T prose> I prithee, spare.
  28  <S GONZALO> Well, I have done. But yet_
  29  <S SEBASTIAN> <T asd> {(to Antonio)}<T prose> He will be talking.
  30  <S ANTONIO> Which of he or Adrian, for a good wager, first
  31  begins to crow?
  32  <S SEBASTIAN> The old cock.
  33  <S ANTONIO> The cockerel.
  34  <S SEBASTIAN> Done. The wager?
  35  <S ANTONIO> A laughter.
  36  <S SEBASTIAN> A match!
  37  <S ADRIAN> <T asd> {(to Gonzalo)}<T prose> Though this island seem to    +
  37  be desert_
  38  <S [ANTONIO]> <T asd> {(to Sebastian)}<T prose> Ha, ha, ha!
  39  <S [SEBASTIAN]> So, you're paid.
  40  <S ADRIAN> Uninhabitable, and almost inaccessible_
  41  <S SEBASTIAN> <T asd> {(to Antonio)}<T prose> Yet_
  42  <S ADRIAN> Yet_
  43  <S ANTONIO> <T asd> {(to Sebastian)}<T prose> He could not miss 't.
  44  <S ADRIAN> It must needs be of subtle, tender, and delicate
  45  temperance.
  46  <S ANTONIO> <T asd> {(to Sebastian)}<T prose> Temperance was a delicate  +
  46  wench.
  47  <S SEBASTIAN> Ay, and a subtle, as he most learnedly
  48  delivered.
  49  <S ADRIAN> <T asd> {(to Gonzalo)}<T prose> The air breathes upon us      +
  49  here most
  50  sweetly.
  51  <S SEBASTIAN> <T asd> {(to Antonio)}<T prose> As if it had lungs, and    +
  51  rotten ones.
  52  <S ANTONIO> Or as 'twere perfumed by a fen.
  53  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Adrian)}<T prose> Here is everything            +
  53  advantageous to
  54  life.
  55  <S ANTONIO> <T asd> {(to Sebastian)}<T prose> True, save means to live.
  56  <S SEBASTIAN> Of that there's none, or little.
  57  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Adrian)}<T prose> How lush and lusty the grass  +
  57  looks!
  58  How green!
  59  <S ANTONIO> The ground indeed is tawny.
  60  <S SEBASTIAN> With an eye of green in 't.
  61  <S ANTONIO> He misses not much.
  62  <S SEBASTIAN> No, he doth but mistake the truth totally.
  63  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Adrian)}<T prose> But the rarity of it is,      +
  63  which is indeed
  64  almost beyond credit_
  65  <S SEBASTIAN> <T asd> {(to Antonio)}<T prose> As many vouched rarities   +
  65  are.
  66  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Adrian)}<T prose> That our garments being, as   +
  66  they
  67  were, drenched in the sea, hold notwithstanding their
  68  freshness and glosses, being rather new-dyed than
  69  stained with salt water.
  70  <S ANTONIO> <T asd> {(to Sebastian)}<T prose> If but one of his pockets  +
  70  could
  71  speak, would it not say he lies?
  72  <S SEBASTIAN> Ay, or very falsely pocket up his report.
  73  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Adrian)}<T prose> Methinks our garments are     +
  73  now as
  74  fresh as when we put them on first in Afric, at the
  75  marriage of the King's fair daughter Claribel to the
  76  King of Tunis.
  77  <S SEBASTIAN> 'Twas a sweet marriage, and we prosper well
  78  in our return.
  79  <S ADRIAN> Tunis was never graced before with such a
  80  paragon to their queen.
  81  <S GONZALO> Not since widow Dido's time.
  82  <S ANTONIO> <T asd> {(to Sebastian)}<T prose> Widow? A pox o' that! How  +
  82  came
  83  that `widow" in? Widow Dido!
  84  <S SEBASTIAN> What if he had said `widower Aeneas" too?
  85  Good Lord, how you take it!
  86  <S ADRIAN> <T asd> {(to Gonzalo)}<T prose> `Widow Dido" said you? You    +
  86  make
  87  me study of that: she was of Carthage, not of Tunis.
  88  <S GONZALO> This Tunis, sir, was Carthage.
  89  <S ADRIAN> Carthage?
  90  <S GONZALO> I assure you, Carthage.
  91  <S ANTONIO> <T asd> {(to Sebastian)}<T prose> His word is more than the
  92  miraculous harp.
  93  <S SEBASTIAN> He hath raised the wall, and houses too.
  94  <S ANTONIO> What impossible matter will he make easy next?
  95  <S SEBASTIAN> I think he will carry this island home in his
  96  pocket, and give it his son for an apple.
  97  <S ANTONIO> And sowing the kernels of it in the sea, bring
  98  forth more islands.
  99  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Adrian)}<T prose> Ay.
 100  <S ANTONIO> <T asd> {(to Sebastian)}<T prose> Why, in good time.
 101  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T prose> Sir, we were talking that     +
 101  our garments
 102  seem now as fresh as when we were at Tunis, at the
 103  marriage of your daughter, who is now queen.
 104  <S ANTONIO> And the rarest that e'er came there.
 105  <S SEBASTIAN> Bate, I beseech you, widow Dido.
 106  <S ANTONIO> O, widow Dido? Ay, widow Dido.
 107  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T prose> Is not, sir, my doublet as    +
 107  fresh as the
 108  first day I wore it? I mean in a sort.
 109  <S ANTONIO> <T asd> {(to Sebastian)}<T prose> That `sort" was well       +
 109  fished for.
 110  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T prose> When I wore it at your        +
 110  daughter's
 111  marriage.
 112  <S ALONSO> <T verse> You cram these words into mine ears against
 113  The stomach of my sense. Would I had never
 114  Married my daughter there! For, coming thence,
 115  My son is lost; and, in my rate, she too,
 116  Who is so far from Italy removed
 117  I ne'er again shall see her. O thou mine heir
 118  Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish
 119B Hath made his meal on thee?<S FRANCISCO> Sir, he may live.
 120  I saw him beat the surges under him
 121  And ride upon their backs. He trod the water,
 122  Whose enmity he flung aside, and breasted
 123  The surge, most swoll'n, that met him. His bold head
 124  'Bove the contentious waves he kept, and oared
 125  Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke
 126  To th' shore, that o'er his wave-worn basis bowed,
 127  As stooping to relieve him. I not doubt
 128B He came alive to land.<S ALONSO> No, no; he's gone.
 129  <S SEBASTIAN> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T verse> Sir, you may thank          +
 129  yourself for this great loss,
 130  That would not bless our Europe with your daughter,
 131  But rather loose her to an African,
 132  Where she, at least, is banished from your eye,
 133B Who hath cause to wet the grief on 't.<S ALONSO> Prithee, peace.
 134  <S SEBASTIAN> You were kneeled to and importuned otherwise
 135  By all of us, and the fair soul herself
 136  Weighed between loathness and obedience at
 137  Which end o' th' beam should bow. We have lost your son,
 138  I fear, for ever. Milan and Naples have
 139  More widows in them of this business' making
 140  Than we bring men to comfort them. The fault's your own.
 141B <S ALONSO> So is the dear'st o' th' loss.<S GONZALO> My lord Sebastian,
 142  The truth you speak doth lack some gentleness
 143  And time to speak it in. You rub the sore
 144  When you should bring the plaster.
 145A <S SEBASTIAN> <T asd> {(to Antonio)}<T verse> Very well.
 146A <S ANTONIO> And most chirurgeonly.
 147  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T verse> It is foul weather in us      +
 147  all, good sir,
 148B When you are cloudy.<S SEBASTIAN> <T asd> {(to Antonio)}<T verse> Fowl   +
 148B weather?<S ANTONIO> Very foul.
 149  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T verse> Had I plantation of this      +
 149  isle, my lord_
 150B <S ANTONIO> <T asd> {(to Sebastian)}<T verse> He'd sow 't with           +

 152  <S SEBASTIAN> <T asd> {(to Antonio)}<T verse> Scape being drunk, for     +
 152  want of wine.
 153  <S GONZALO> I' th' commonwealth I would by contraries
 154  Execute all things. For no kind of traffic
 155  Would I admit, no name of magistrate;
 156  Letters should not be known; riches, poverty,
 157  And use of service, none; contract, succession,
 158  Bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard, none;
 159  No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil;
 160  No occupation, all men idle, all;
 161  And women too_but innocent and pure;
 162B No sovereignty_<S SEBASTIAN> <T asd> {(to Antonio)}<T verse> Yet he      +
 162B would be king on 't.
 163  <S ANTONIO> <T prose> The latter end of his commonwealth forgets the
 164  beginning.
 165  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T verse> All things in common nature   +
 165  should produce
 166  Without sweat or endeavour. Treason, felony,
 167  Sword, pike, knife, gun, or need of any engine,
 168  Would I not have; but nature should bring forth
 169  Of it own kind all foison, all abundance,
 170  To feed my innocent people.
 171  <S SEBASTIAN> <T asd> {(to Antonio)}<T prose> No marrying 'mong his      +
 171  subjects?
 172  <S ANTONIO> None, man, all idle: whores and knaves.
 173  <S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T verse> I would with such perfection  +
 173  govern, sir,
 174B T' excel the Golden Age.<S SEBASTIAN> Save his majesty!
 175B <S ANTONIO> Long live Gonzalo!<S GONZALO> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T verse>+
 175B  And_do you mark me, sir?
 176  <S ALONSO> Prithee, no more. Thou dost talk nothing to me.
 177  <S GONZALO> <T prose> I do well believe your highness, and did it to
 178  minister occasion to these gentlemen, who are of such
 179  sensible and nimble lungs that they always use to laugh
 180  at nothing.
 181  <S ANTONIO> 'Twas you we laughed at.
 182  <S GONZALO> Who, in this kind of merry fooling, am nothing
 183  to you. So you may continue, and laugh at nothing
 184  still.
 185  <S ANTONIO> What a blow was there given!
 186  <S SEBASTIAN> An it had not fallen flat-long.
 187  <S GONZALO> You are gentlemen of brave mettle. You would
 188  lift the moon out of her sphere, if she would continue
 189  in it five weeks without changing.<T dsd> {Enter Ariel, invisible,       +

 190  <S SEBASTIAN> <T prose> We would so, and then go a-bat-fowling.
 191  <S ANTONIO> <T asd> {(to Gonzalo)}<T prose> Nay, good my lord, be not    +
 191  angry.
 192  <S GONZALO> No, I warrant you, I will not adventure my
 193  discretion so weakly. Will you laugh me asleep? For I
 194  am very heavy.
 195  <S ANTONIO> Go sleep, and hear us.<T dsd> {Gonzalo, Adrian, and          +
 195  Francisco sleep}
 196  <S ALONSO> <T verse> What, all so soon asleep? I wish mine eyes
 197  Would, with themselves, shut up my thoughts._I find
 198B They are inclined to do so.<S SEBASTIAN> Please you, sir,
 199  Do not omit the heavy offer of it.
 200  It seldom visits sorrow; when it doth,
 201B It is a comforter.<S ANTONIO> We two, my lord,
 202  Will guard your person while you take your rest,
 203B And watch your safety.<S ALONSO> Thank you. Wondrous heavy.<T dsd> {He   +
 203B sleeps. [Exit Ariel]}
 204  <S SEBASTIAN> <T verse> What a strange drowsiness possesses them!
 205B <S ANTONIO> It is the quality o' th' climate.<S SEBASTIAN> Why
 206  Doth it not then our eyelids sink? I find
 207B Not myself disposed to sleep.<S ANTONIO> Nor I; my spirits are nimble.
 208  They fell together all, as by consent;
 209  They dropped as by a thunderstroke. What might,
 210  Worthy Sebastian, O, what might_? No more!_
 211  And yet methinks I see it in thy face.
 212  What thou shouldst be th' occasion speaks thee, and
 213  My strong imagination sees a crown
 214B Dropping upon thy head.<S SEBASTIAN> What, art thou waking?
 215B <S ANTONIO> Do you not hear me speak?<S SEBASTIAN> I do, and surely
 216  It is a sleepy language, and thou speak'st
 217  Out of thy sleep. What is it thou didst say?
 218  This is a strange repose, to be asleep
 219  With eyes wide open; standing, speaking, moving,
 220B And yet so fast asleep.<S ANTONIO> Noble Sebastian,
 221  Thou letst thy fortune sleep, die rather; wink'st
 222B Whiles thou art waking.<S SEBASTIAN> Thou dost snore distinctly;
 223  There's meaning in thy snores.
 224  <S ANTONIO> I am more serious than my custom. You
 225  Must be so too if heed me, which to do
 226B Trebles thee o'er.<S SEBASTIAN> Well, I am standing water.
 227B <S ANTONIO> I'll teach you how to flow.<S SEBASTIAN> Do so; to ebb
 228B Hereditary sloth instructs me.<S ANTONIO> O,
 229  If you but knew how you the purpose cherish
 230  Whiles thus you mock it; how in stripping it
 231  You more invest it! Ebbing men, indeed,
 232  Most often do so near the bottom run
 233B By their own fear or sloth.<S SEBASTIAN> Prithee, say on.
 234  The setting of thine eye and cheek proclaim
 235  A matter from thee, and a birth, indeed,
 236B Which throes thee much to yield.<S ANTONIO> Thus, sir.
 237  Although this lord of weak remembrance, this,
 238  Who shall be of as little memory
 239  When he is earthed, hath here almost persuaded_
 240  For he's a spirit of persuasion, only
 241  Professes to persuade_the King his son's alive,
 242  'Tis as impossible that he's undrowned
 243B As he that sleeps here swims.<S SEBASTIAN> I have no hope
 244B That he's undrowned.<S ANTONIO> O, out of that `no hope"
 245  What great hope have you! No hope that way is
 246  Another way so high a hope that even
 247  Ambition cannot pierce a wink beyond,
 248  But doubt discovery there. Will you grant with me
 249B That Ferdinand is drowned?<S SEBASTIAN> He's gone.<S ANTONIO> Then tell  +
 249B me,
 250B Who's the next heir of Naples?<S SEBASTIAN> Claribel.
 251  <S ANTONIO> She that is Queen of Tunis; she that dwells
 252  Ten leagues beyond man's life; she that from Naples
 253  Can have no note_unless the sun were post_
 254  The man i' th' moon's too slow_till new-born chins
 255  Be rough and razorable; she that from whom
 256  We all were sea-swallowed, though some cast again_
 257  And by that destiny, to perform an act
 258  Whereof what's past is prologue, what to come
 259B In yours and my discharge.<S SEBASTIAN> What stuff is this? How say      +
 259B you?
 260  'Tis true my brother's daughter's Queen of Tunis;
 261  So is she heir of Naples; 'twixt which regions
 262B There is some space.<S ANTONIO> A space whose every cubit
 263  Seems to cry out `How shall that Claribel
 264  Measure us back to Naples? Keep in Tunis,
 265  And let Sebastian wake." Say this were death
 266  That now hath seized them; why, they were no worse
 267  Than now they are. There be that can rule Naples
 268  As well as he that sleeps, lords that can prate
 269  As amply and unnecessarily
 270  As this Gonzalo; I myself could make
 271  A chough of as deep chat. O, that you bore
 272  The mind that I do, what a sleep were this
 273  For your advancement! Do you understand me?
 274B <S SEBASTIAN> Methinks I do.<S ANTONIO> And how does your content
 275B Tender your own good fortune?<S SEBASTIAN> I remember
 276B You did supplant your brother Prospero.<S ANTONIO> True;
 277  And look how well my garments sit upon me,
 278  Much feater than before. My brother's servants
 279  Were then my fellows; now they are my men.
 280A <S SEBASTIAN> But for your conscience.
 281  <S ANTONIO> Ay, sir, where lies that? If 'twere a kibe
 282  'Twould put me to my slipper; but I feel not
 283  This deity in my bosom. Twenty consciences
 284  That stand 'twixt me and Milan, candied be they,
 285  And melt ere they molest. Here lies your brother,
 286  No better than the earth he lies upon
 287  If he were that which now he's like_that's dead;
 288  Whom I with this obedient steel, three inches of it,
 289  Can lay to bed for ever; whiles you, doing thus,
 290  To the perpetual wink for aye might put
 291  This ancient morsel, this Sir Prudence, who
 292  Should not upbraid our course. For all the rest,
 293  They'll take suggestion as a cat laps milk;
 294  They'll tell the clock to any business that
 295B We say befits the hour.<S SEBASTIAN> Thy case, dear friend,
 296  Shall be my precedent. As thou got'st Milan,
 297  I'll come by Naples. Draw thy sword. One stroke
 298  Shall free thee from the tribute which thou payest,
 299B And I the King shall love thee.<S ANTONIO> Draw together,
 300  And when I rear my hand, do you the like
 301B To fall it on Gonzalo.<T dsd> {They draw}<S SEBASTIAN> <T verse> O, but  +
 301B one word.<T dsd> {Enter Ariel, invisible, with music}
 302  <S ARIEL> <T asd> {(to Gonzalo)}<T verse> My master through his art      +

 305  <T song> While you here do snoring lie,

 307  His time doth take.
 308  If of life you keep a care,
 309  Shake off slumber, and beware.
 310  Awake, awake!
 311B <S ANTONIO> <T asd> {(to Sebastian)}<T verse> Then let us both be        +

 314B looking?<S GONZALO> What's the matter?
 315  <S SEBASTIAN> Whiles we stood here securing your repose,
 316  Even now we heard a hollow burst of bellowing,
 317  Like bulls, or rather lions. Did 't not wake you?
 318B It struck mine ear most terribly.<S ALONSO> I heard nothing.
 319  <S ANTONIO> O, 'twas a din to fright a monster's ear,
 320  To make an earthquake! Sure it was the roar
 321B Of a whole herd of lions.<S ALONSO> Heard you this, Gonzalo?
 322  <S GONZALO> Upon mine honour, sir, I heard a humming,
 323  And that a strange one too, which did awake me.
 324  I shaked you, sir, and cried. As mine eyes opened
 325  I saw their weapons drawn. There was a noise,
 326  That's verily. 'Tis best we stand upon our guard,
 327  Or that we quit this place. Let's draw our weapons.
 328  <S ALONSO> Lead off this ground, and let's make further search
 329B For my poor son.<S GONZALO> Heavens keep him from these beasts!

   7  Out of my way, unless he bid 'em. But
   8  For every trifle are they set upon me;
   9  Sometime like apes, that mow and chatter at me
  10  And after bite me; then like hedgehogs, which
  11  Lie tumbling in my barefoot way and mount

  29  painted, not a holiday-fool there but would give a piece
  30  of silver. There would this monster make a man. Any

   1  <S FERDINAND> <T verse> There be some sports are painful, and their      +
   1  labour
   2  Delight in them sets off. Some kinds of baseness
   3  Are nobly undergone, and most poor matters
   4  Point to rich ends. This my mean task
   5  Would be as heavy to me as odious, but
   6  The mistress which I serve quickens what's dead,
   7  And makes my labours pleasures. O, she is
   8  Ten times more gentle than her father's crabbed,
   9  And he's composed of harshness. I must remove
  10  Some thousands of these logs and pile them up,
  11  Upon a sore injunction. My sweet mistress
  12  Weeps when she sees me work, and says such baseness
  13  Had never like executor. I forget,
  14  But these sweet thoughts do even refresh my labours,
  15B Most busil'est when I do it.<T dsd> {Enter Miranda, and Prospero         +
  15B following at a distance}<S MIRANDA> <T verse> Alas now, pray you
  16  Work not so hard. I would the lightning had
  17  Burnt up those logs that you are enjoined to pile.
  18  Pray set it down, and rest you. When this burns
  19  'Twill weep for having wearied you. My father
  20  Is hard at study. Pray now, rest yourself.
  21B He's safe for these three hours.<S FERDINAND> O most dear mistress,

  23B What I must strive to do.<S MIRANDA> If you'll sit down
  24  I'll bear your logs the while. Pray give me that;

  26  I had rather crack my sinews, break my back,
  27  Than you should such dishonour undergo
  28B While I sit lazy by.<S MIRANDA> It would become me

  34  When you are by at night. I do beseech you,
  35  Chiefly that I might set it in my prayers,
  36B What is your name?<S MIRANDA> Miranda. O my father,
  37B I have broke your hest to say so!<S FERDINAND> Admired Miranda!
  38  Indeed the top of admiration, worth
  39  What's dearest to the world. Full many a lady
  40  I have eyed with best regard, and many a time
  41  Th' harmony of their tongues hath into bondage
  42  Brought my too diligent ear. For several virtues
  43  Have I liked several women; never any
  44  With so full soul but some defect in her
  45  Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed
  46  And put it to the foil. But you, O you,
  47  So perfect and so peerless, are created
  48B Of every creature's best.<S MIRANDA> I do not know
  49  One of my sex, no woman's face remember
  50  Save from my glass mine own; nor have I seen
  51  More that I may call men than you, good friend,
  52  And my dear father. How features are abroad
  53  I am skilless of; but, by my modesty,
  54  The jewel in my dower, I would not wish
  55  Any companion in the world but you;
  56  Nor can imagination form a shape
  57  Besides yourself to like of. But I prattle
  58  Something too wildly, and my father's precepts
  59B I therein do forget.<S FERDINAND> I am in my condition
  60  A prince, Miranda, I do think a king_
  61  I would not so_and would no more endure
  62  This wooden slavery than to suffer
  63  The flesh-fly blow my mouth. Hear my soul speak.
  64  The very instant that I saw you did
  65  My heart fly to your service; there resides
  66  To make me slave to it. And for your sake
  67B Am I this patient log-man.<S MIRANDA> Do you love me?
  68  <S FERDINAND> O heaven, O earth, bear witness to this sound,
  69  And crown what I profess with kind event
  70  If I speak true! If hollowly, invert
  71  What best is boded me to mischief! I,
  72  Beyond all limit of what else i' th' world,
  73B Do love, prize, honour you.<S MIRANDA> <T asd> {(weeping)}<T verse> I    +

  77  <S MIRANDA> At mine unworthiness, that dare not offer
  78  What I desire to give, and much less take
  79  What I shall die to want. But this is trifling,
  80  And all the more it seeks to hide itself
  81  The bigger bulk it shows. Hence, bashful cunning,
  82  And prompt me, plain and holy innocence.
  83  I am your wife, if you will marry me.
  84  If not, I'll die your maid. To be your fellow
  85  You may deny me, but I'll be your servant

   2  we will drink water, not a drop before. Therefore bear

   4  <S TRINCULO> Servant monster? The folly of this island! They
   5  say there's but five upon this isle. We are three of
   6  them; if th' other two be brained like us, the state
   7  totters.
   8  <S STEFANO> Drink, servant monster, when I bid thee. Thy
   9  eyes are almost set in thy head.
  10  <S TRINCULO> Where should they be set else? He were a brave
  11  monster indeed if they were set in his tail.
  12  <S STEFANO> My man-monster hath drowned his tongue in
  13  sack. For my part, the sea cannot drown me. I swam,
  14  ere I could recover the shore, five and thirty leagues,
  15  off and on. By this light, thou shalt be my lieutenant,
  16  monster, or my standard.
  17  <S TRINCULO> Your lieutenant if you list; he's no standard.
  18  <S STEFANO> We'll not run, Monsieur Monster.
  19  <S TRINCULO> Nor go neither; but you'll lie like dogs, and yet
  20  say nothing neither.

  24  I'll not serve him; he is not valiant.
  25  <S TRINCULO> <T prose> Thou liest, most ignorant monster! I am in case
  26  to jostle a constable. Why, thou debauched fish, thou,

  30  thou let

  32  <S TRINCULO> `Lord" quoth he? That a monster should be
  33  such a natural!
  34  <S CALIBAN> <T asd> {(to Stefano)}<T verse> Lo, lo, again! Bite him to   +
  34  death, I prithee.
  35  <S STEFANO> <T prose> Trinculo, keep a good tongue in your head. If
  36  you prove a mutineer, the next tree. The poor monster's
  37  my subject, and he shall not suffer indignity.
  38  <S CALIBAN> <T verse> I thank my noble lord. Wilt thou be pleased

  48  I do not lie.
  49  <S STEFANO> <T prose> Trinculo, if you trouble him any more in 's tale,
  50  by this hand, I will supplant some of your teeth.

  52  <S STEFANO> Mum, then, and no more.<T asd> {(To Caliban)}<T prose>       +
  52  Proceed.
  53  <S CALIBAN> <T verse> I say by sorcery he got this isle;

  55  Revenge it on him_for I know thou dar'st,
  56  But this thing dare not_
  57  <S STEFANO> <T prose> That's most certain.
  58  <S CALIBAN> <T verse> Thou shalt be lord of it, and I'll serve thee.
  59  <S STEFANO> <T prose> How now shall this be compassed? Canst thou
  60  bring me to the party?
  61  <S CALIBAN> <T verse> Yea, yea, my lord. I'll yield him thee asleep

  65  blows,
  66  And take his bottle from him. When that's gone
  67  He shall drink naught but brine, for I'll not show him

  69  <S STEFANO> <T prose> Trinculo, run into no further danger. Interrupt
  70  the monster one word further, and, by this hand, I'll

  73  <S TRINCULO> Why, what did I? I did nothing. I'll go farther
  74  off.

  77  that. As
  78  you like this, give me the lie another time.
  79  <S TRINCULO> I did not give the lie. Out o' your wits and
  80  hearing too? A pox o' your bottle! This can sack and
  81  drinking do. A murrain on your monster, and the devil

  83  <S CALIBAN> Ha, ha, ha!
  84  <S STEFANO> Now forward with your tale.<T asd> {(To Trinculo)}

  87B farther.<T asd> {(To Caliban)}<T verse> Come, proceed.
  88  <S CALIBAN> Why, as I told thee, 'tis a custom with him
  89  I' th' afternoon to sleep. There thou mayst brain him,
  90  Having first seized his books; or with a log
  91  Batter his skull, or paunch him with a stake,
  92  Or cut his weasand with thy knife. Remember
  93  First to possess his books, for without them
  94  He's but a sot as I am, nor hath not
  95  One spirit to command_they all do hate him
  96  As rootedly as I. Burn but his books.
  97  He has brave utensils, for so he calls them,
  98  Which when he has a house he'll deck withal.
  99  And that most deeply to consider is
 100  The beauty of his daughter. He himself
 101  Calls her a nonpareil. I never saw a woman
 102  But only Sycorax my dam and she,
 103  But she as far surpasseth Sycorax
 104B As great'st does least.<S STEFANO> Is it so brave a lass?
 105  <S CALIBAN> Ay, lord. She will become thy bed, I warrant,
 106  And bring thee forth brave brood.
 107  <S STEFANO> <T prose> Monster, I will kill this man. His daughter and
 108  I will be king and queen_save our graces!_and
 109  Trinculo and thyself shall be viceroys. Dost thou like
 110  the plot, Trinculo?
 111  <S TRINCULO> Excellent.
 112  <S STEFANO> Give me thy hand. I am sorry I beat thee. But
 113  while thou liv'st, keep a good tongue in thy head.
 114  <S CALIBAN> <T verse> Within this half hour will he be asleep.
 115  Wilt thou destroy him then?
 116A <S STEFANO> Ay, on mine honour.
 117A <S ARIEL> <T asd> {(aside)}<T verse> This will I tell my master.
 118  <S CALIBAN> Thou mak'st me merry; I am full of pleasure.
 119  Let us be jocund. Will you troll the catch
 120  You taught me but while-ere?
 121  <S STEFANO> <T prose> At thy request, monster, I will do reason, any
 122  reason._Come on, Trinculo, let us sing.
 123  <T asd> {(Sings)}<T song> Flout 'em and cout 'em,

 130  man, show

 134  <S STEFANO> He that dies pays all debts.<T asd> {(Calls)}<T prose> I     +
 134  defy thee._
 135  Mercy upon us!
 136  <S CALIBAN> Art thou afeard?
 137  <S STEFANO> No, monster, not I.
 138  <S CALIBAN> <T verse> Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises,
 139  Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
 140  Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
 141  Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices
 142  That if I then had waked after long sleep
 143  Will make me sleep again; and then in dreaming
 144  The clouds methought would open and show riches
 145  Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked
 146  I cried to dream again.
 147  <S STEFANO> <T prose> This will prove a brave kingdom to me, where
 148  I shall have my music for nothing.
 149  <S CALIBAN> When Prospero is destroyed.
 150  <S STEFANO> That shall be by and by. I remember the story.<T esd> {Exit  +

  88  Their several kinds have done. My high charms work,
  89  And these mine enemies are all knit up

   2  Your compensation makes amends, for I

   4  Or that for which I live_who once again
   5  I tender to thy hand. All thy vexations
   6  Were but my trials of thy love, and thou
   7  Hast strangely stood the test. Here, afore heaven,

   9  Do not smile at me that I boast of her,
  10  For thou shalt find she will outstrip all praise,
  11B And make it halt behind her.<S FERDINAND> I do believe it
  12  Against an oracle.
  13  <S PROSPERO> Then, as my gift and thine own acquisition
  14  Worthily purchased, take my daughter. But
  15  If thou dost break her virgin-knot before
  16  All sanctimonious ceremonies may
  17  With full and holy rite be ministered,
  18  No sweet aspersion shall the heavens let fall
  19  To make this contract grow; but barren hate,
  20  Sour-eyed disdain, and discord, shall bestrew
  21  The union of your bed with weeds so loathly
  22  That you shall hate it both. Therefore take heed,

  39  Incite them to quick motion, for I must

  86B On the blest lovers.<S CERES> Tell me, heavenly bow,

 146  <S PROSPERO> You do look, my son, in a moved sort,
 147  As if you were dismayed. Be cheerful, sir.
 148  Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
 149  As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
 150  Are melted into air, into thin air;
 151  And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
 152  The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
 153  The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
 154  Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve;
 155  And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
 156  Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
 157  As dreams are made on, and our little life
 158  Is rounded with a sleep. Sir, I am vexed.
 159  Bear with my weakness. My old brain is troubled.
 160  Be not disturbed with my infirmity.
 161  If you be pleased, retire into my cell,
 162  And there repose. A turn or two I'll walk
 163B To still my beating mind.<S FERDINAND {AND} MIRANDA> We wish your        +

 165B pleasure?<S PROSPERO> Spirit,
 166  We must prepare to meet with Caliban.
 167  <S ARIEL> Ay, my commander. When I presented Ceres
 168  I thought to have told thee of it, but I feared
 169  Lest I might anger thee.
 170  <S PROSPERO> Say again: where didst thou leave these varlets?
 171  <S ARIEL> I told you, sir, they were red-hot with drinking;
 172  So full of valour that they smote the air
 173  For breathing in their faces, beat the ground
 174  For kissing of their feet; yet always bending
 175  Towards their project. Then I beat my tabor,
 176  At which like unbacked colts they pricked their ears,
 177  Advanced their eyelids, lifted up their noses
 178  As they smelt music. So I charmed their ears
 179  That calf-like they my lowing followed, through
 180  Toothed briars, sharp furzes, pricking gorse, and thorns,
 181  Which entered their frail shins. At last I left them
 182  I' th' filthy-mantled pool beyond your cell,
 183  There dancing up to th' chins, that the foul lake
 184B O'er-stunk their feet.<S PROSPERO> This was well done, my bird.
 185  Thy shape invisible retain thou still.
 186  The trumpery in my house, go bring it hither

 188  <S PROSPERO> <T verse> A devil, a born devil, on whose nature
 189  Nurture can never stick; on whom my pains,
 190  Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost,
 191  And, as with age his body uglier grows,
 192  So his mind cankers. I will plague them all,

 194  Pray you, tread softly, that the blind mole may
 195  Not hear a foot fall. We now are near his cell.
 196  <S STEFANO> <T prose> Monster, your fairy, which you say is a harmless
 197  fairy, has done little better than played the Jack with
 198  us.
 199  <S TRINCULO> Monster, I do smell all horse-piss, at which my
 200  nose is in great indignation.
 201  <S STEFANO> So is mine. Do you hear, monster? If I should
 202  take a displeasure against you, look you_
 203  <S TRINCULO> Thou wert but a lost monster.
 204  <S CALIBAN> <T verse> Good my lord, give me thy favour still.
 205  Be patient, for the prize I'll bring thee to
 206  Shall hoodwink this mischance. Therefore speak softly.
 207  All's hushed as midnight yet.
 208  <S TRINCULO> <T prose> Ay, but to lose our bottles in the pool!
 209  <S STEFANO> There is not only disgrace and dishonour in that,
 210  monster, but an infinite loss.
 211  <S TRINCULO> That's more to me than my wetting. Yet this is
 212  your harmless fairy, monster.
 213  <S STEFANO> I will fetch off my bottle, though I be o'er ears
 214  for my labour.
 215  <S CALIBAN> <T verse> Prithee, my king, be quiet. Seest thou here;
 216  This is the mouth o' th' cell. No noise, and enter.
 217  Do that good mischief which may make this island
 218  Thine own for ever, and I thy Caliban
 219B For aye thy foot-licker.<S STEFANO> Give me thy hand.

 227  have that gown.
 228  <S TRINCULO> Thy grace shall have it.
 229  <S CALIBAN> <T verse> The dropsy drown this fool! What do you mean
 230  To dote thus on such luggage? Let 't alone,
 231  And do the murder first. If he awake,
 232  From toe to crown he'll fill our skins with pinches,
 233  Make us strange stuff.
 234  <S STEFANO> <T prose> Be you quiet, monster._Mistress lime, is not

 241  Wit shall not go unrewarded while I am king of this

 243  of pate. There's another garment for 't.
 244  <S TRINCULO> Monster, come, put some lime upon your

 246  <S CALIBAN> <T verse> I will have none on 't. We shall lose our time,

  13  And the remainder mourning over them,
  14  Brimful of sorrow and dismay; but chiefly
  15  Him that you termed, sir, the good old lord Gonzalo:
  16  His tears run down his beard like winter's drops
  17  From eaves of reeds. Your charm so strongly works 'em

  24  Passion as they, be kindlier moved than thou art?
  25  Though with their high wrongs I am struck to th' quick,
  26  Yet with my nobler reason 'gainst my fury
  27  Do I take part. The rarer action is
  28  In virtue than in vengeance. They being penitent,

  68  Their clearer reason._O good Gonzalo,
  69  My true preserver, and a loyal sir
  70  To him thou follow'st, I will pay thy graces
  71  Home both in word and deed._Most cruelly
  72  Didst thou, Alonso, use me and my daughter.
  73  Thy brother was a furtherer in the act._
  74B Thou art pinched for 't now, Sebastian.<T asd> {(To Antonio)}<T verse>   +
  74B Flesh and blood,
  75  You, brother mine, that entertained ambition,
  76  Expelled remorse and nature, whom, with Sebastian_
  77  Whose inward pinches therefore are most strong,_
  78  Would here have killed your king, I do forgive thee,
  79  Unnatural though thou art.<T asd> {(Aside)}<T verse> Their               +
  79  understanding
  80  Begins to swell, and the approaching tide
  81  Will shortly fill the reasonable shores
  82  That now lie foul and muddy. Not one of them
  83  That yet looks on me, or would know me._Ariel,
  84  Fetch me the hat and rapier in my cell.
  85  I will discase me, and myself present
  86  As I was sometime Milan. Quickly, spirit!
  87  Thou shalt ere long be free.<T dsd> {Ariel sings and helps to attire     +
  87  him as Duke of Milan}
  88  <S ARIEL> <T song> Where the bee sucks, there suck I:
  89  In a cowslip's bell I lie;
  90  There I couch when owls do cry.
  91  On the bat's back I do fly
  92  After summer merrily.
  93  Merrily, merrily shall I live now
  94  Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
  95  Merrily, merrily shall I live now
  96  Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
  97  <S PROSPERO> <T verse> Why, that's my dainty Ariel! I shall miss thee,
  98  But yet thou shalt have freedom._So, so, so._
  99  To the King's ship, invisible as thou art!
 100  There shalt thou find the mariners asleep
 101  Under the hatches. The Master and the Boatswain
 102  Being awake, enforce them to this place,
 103  And presently, I prithee.
 104  <S ARIEL> I drink the air before me, and return
 105  Or ere your pulse twice beat.<T esd> {Exit}
 106  <S GONZALO> <T verse> All torment, trouble, wonder, and amazement
 107  Inhabits here. Some heavenly power guide us
 108B Out of this fearful country!<S PROSPERO> Behold, sir King,
 109  The wronge\d Duke of Milan, Prospero.
 110  For more assurance that a living prince
 111  Does now speak to thee, I embrace thy body;
 112  And to thee and thy company I bid
 113B A hearty welcome.<T dsd> {He embraces Alonso}<S ALONSO> <T verse>        +
 113B Whe'er thou beest he or no,
 114  Or some enchanted trifle to abuse me,
 115  As late I have been, I not know. Thy pulse
 116  Beats as of flesh and blood; and since I saw thee
 117  Th' affliction of my mind amends, with which
 118  I fear a madness held me. This must crave_
 119  An if this be at all_a most strange story.
 120  Thy dukedom I resign, and do entreat
 121  Thou pardon me my wrongs. But how should Prospero
 122B Be living and be here?<S PROSPERO> <T asd> {(to Gonzalo)}<T verse>       +
 122B First, noble friend,
 123  Let me embrace thine age, whose honour cannot
 124B Be measured or confined.<T dsd> {He embraces Gonzalo}<S GONZALO>         +
 124B <T verse> Whether this be
 125B Or be not, I'll not swear.<S PROSPERO> You do yet taste
 126  Some subtleties o' th' isle that will not let you
 127  Believe things certain._Welcome, my friends all.
 128  <T asd> {(Aside to Sebastian and Antonio)}<T verse> But you, my brace    +
 128  of lords, were I so minded,
 129  I here could pluck his highness' frown upon you
 130  And justify you traitors. At this time
 131B I will tell no tales.<S SEBASTIAN> <T asd> {(to Antonio)}<T verse> The   +
 131B devil speaks in him.<S PROSPERO> No.
 132  <T asd> {(To Antonio)}<T verse> For you, most wicked sir, whom to call   +
 132  brother
 133  Would even infect my mouth, I do forgive
 134  Thy rankest fault, all of them, and require
 135  My dukedom of thee, which perforce I know
 136B Thou must restore.<S ALONSO> If thou beest Prospero,
 137  Give us particulars of thy preservation,
 138  How thou hast met us here, whom three hours since
 139  Were wrecked upon this shore, where I have lost_
 140  How sharp the point of this remembrance is!_
 141B My dear son Ferdinand.<S PROSPERO> I am woe for 't, sir.
 142  <S ALONSO> Irreparable is the loss, and patience
 143B Says it is past her cure.<S PROSPERO> I rather think
 144  You have not sought her help, of whose soft grace
 145  For the like loss I have her sovereign aid,
 146B And rest myself content.<S ALONSO> You the like loss?
 147  <S PROSPERO> As great to me as late; and supportable
 148  To make the dear loss have I means much weaker
 149  Than you may call to comfort you, for I
 150B Have lost my daughter.<S ALONSO> A daughter?
 151  O heavens, that they were living both in Naples,
 152  The king and queen there! That they were, I wish
 153  Myself were mudded in that oozy bed
 154  Where my son lies. When did you lose your daughter?
 155  <S PROSPERO> In this last tempest. I perceive these lords
 156  At this encounter do so much admire
 157  That they devour their reason, and scarce think
 158  Their eyes do offices of truth, these words
 159  Are natural breath. But howsoe'er you have
 160  Been jostled from your senses, know for certain
 161  That I am Prospero, and that very Duke
 162  Which was thrust forth of Milan, who most strangely,
 163  Upon this shore where you were wrecked, was landed
 164  To be the lord on 't. No more yet of this,
 165  For 'tis a chronicle of day by day,
 166  Not a relation for a breakfast, nor
 167  Befitting this first meeting. Welcome, sir.
 168  This cell's my court. Here have I few attendants,
 169  And subjects none abroad. Pray you, look in.
 170  My dukedom since you have given me again,
 171  I will requite you with as good a thing;
 172  At least bring forth a wonder to content ye
 173  As much as me my dukedom.<T dsd> {Here Prospero discovers Ferdinand and  +
 173  Miranda, playing at chess}
 174  <S MIRANDA> <T verse> Sweet lord, you play me false.
 175A <S FERDINAND> No, my dearest love,
 176  I would not for the world.
 177  <S MIRANDA> Yes, for a score of kingdoms you should wrangle,
 178B An I would call it fair play.<S ALONSO> If this prove
 179  A vision of the island, one dear son
 180B Shall I twice lose.<S SEBASTIAN> A most high miracle.
 181  <S FERDINAND> <T asd> {(coming forward)}<T verse> Though the seas        +
 181  threaten, they are merciful.
 182B I have cursed them without cause.<T dsd> {He kneels}<S ALONSO> <T verse>+
 182B  Now all the blessings
 183  Of a glad father compass thee about.
 184B Arise and say how thou cam'st here.<T dsd> {Ferdinand rises}<S MIRANDA>  +
 184B <T asd> {(coming forward)}<T verse> O wonder!
 185  How many goodly creatures are there here!
 186  How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world
 187B That has such people in 't!<S PROSPERO> 'Tis new to thee.
 188  <S ALONSO> <T asd> {(to Ferdinand)}<T verse> What is this maid with      +
 188  whom thou wast at play?
 189  Your eld'st acquaintance cannot be three hours.
 190  Is she the goddess that hath severed us,
 191B And brought us thus together?<S FERDINAND> Sir, she is mortal;
 192  But by immortal providence she's mine.
 193  I chose her when I could not ask my father
 194  For his advice, nor thought I had one. She
 195  Is daughter to this famous Duke of Milan,
 196  Of whom so often I have heard renown,
 197  But never saw before; of whom I have
 198  Received a second life; and second father
 199B This lady makes him to me.<S ALONSO> I am hers.
 200  But O, how oddly will it sound, that I
 201B Must ask my child forgiveness!<S PROSPERO> There, sir, stop.
 202  Let us not burden our remembrance with
 203B A heaviness that's gone.<S GONZALO> I have inly wept,
 204  Or should have spoke ere this. Look down, you gods,
 205  And on this couple drop a blesse\d crown,
 206  For it is you that have chalked forth the way
 207B Which brought us hither.<S ALONSO> I say amen, Gonzalo.
 208  <S GONZALO> Was Milan thrust from Milan, that his issue
 209  Should become kings of Naples? O rejoice
 210  Beyond a common joy! And set it down
 211  With gold on lasting pillars: in one voyage
 212  Did Claribel her husband find at Tunis,
 213  And Ferdinand her brother found a wife
 214  Where he himself was lost; Prospero his dukedom
 215  In a poor isle; and all of us ourselves,
 216B When no man was his own.<S ALONSO> <T asd> {(to Ferdinand and            +
 216B Miranda)}<T verse> Give me your hands.
 217  Let grief and sorrow still embrace his heart
 218B That doth not wish you joy.<S GONZALO> Be it so! Amen!<T dsd> {Enter     +
 218B Ariel, with the Master and Boatswain amazedly following}
 219  <T verse> O look, sir, look, sir, here is more of us!
 220  I prophesied if a gallows were on land
 221  This fellow could not drown.<T asd> {(To the Boatswain)}<T verse> Now,   +
 221  blasphemy,
 222  That swear'st grace o'erboard: not an oath on shore?
 223  Hast thou no mouth by land? What is the news?
 224  <S BOATSWAIN> The best news is that we have safely found
 225  Our King and company. The next, our ship,
 226  Which but three glasses since we gave out split,
 227  Is tight and yare and bravely rigged, as when
 228B We first put out to sea.<S ARIEL> <T asd> {(aside to Prospero)}<T verse>+
 228B  Sir, all this service
 229B Have I done since I went.<S PROSPERO> <T asd> {(aside to                 +
 229B Ariel)}<T verse> My tricksy spirit!
 230  <S ALONSO> These are not natural events; they strengthen
 231  From strange to stranger. Say, how came you hither?
 232  <S BOATSWAIN> If I did think, sir, I were well awake
 233  I'd strive to tell you. We were dead of sleep,
 234  And_how we know not_all clapped under hatches,
 235  Where but even now, with strange and several noises
 236  Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains,
 237  And more diversity of sounds, all horrible,
 238  We were awaked; straightway at liberty;
 239  Where we in all her trim freshly beheld
 240  Our royal, good, and gallant ship, our Master
 241  Cap'ring to eye her. On a trice, so please you,
 242  Even in a dream, were we divided from them,
 243B And were brought moping hither.<S ARIEL> <T asd> {(aside to              +
 243B Prospero)}<T verse> Was 't well done?
 244  <S PROSPERO> <T asd> {(aside to Ariel)}<T verse> Bravely, my diligence.  +
 244  Thou shalt be free.
 245  <S ALONSO> This is as strange a maze as e'er men trod,
 246  And there is in this business more than nature
 247  Was ever conduct of. Some oracle
 248B Must rectify our knowledge.<S PROSPERO> Sir, my liege,
 249  Do not infest your mind with beating on
 250  The strangeness of this business. At picked leisure,
 251  Which shall be shortly, single I'll resolve you,
 252  Which to you shall seem probable, of every
 253  These happened accidents; till when be cheerful,
 254  And think of each thing well.<T asd> {(Aside to Ariel)}<T verse> Come    +
 254  hither, spirit.
 255  Set Caliban and his companions free.
 256B Untie the spell.<T esd> {Exit Ariel}<T asd> {(To Alonso)}<T verse> How   +
 256B fares my gracious sir?
 257  There are yet missing of your company
 258  Some few odd lads that you remember not.<T dsd> {Enter Ariel, driving    +
 258  in Caliban, Stefano, and Trinculo, in their stolen apparel}
 259  <S STEFANO> <T prose> Every man shift for all the rest, and let no man
 260  take care for himself, for all is but fortune. Coragio,
 261  bully-monster, coragio!
 262  <S TRINCULO> If these be true spies which I wear in my head,
 263  here's a goodly sight.
 264  <S CALIBAN> <T verse> O Setebos, these be brave spirits indeed!
 265  How fine my master is! I am afraid
 266  He will chastise me.
 267  <S SEBASTIAN> Ha, ha! What things are these, my lord Antonio?
 268B Will money buy 'em?<S ANTONIO> Very like; one of them
 269  Is a plain fish, and no doubt marketable.
 270  <S PROSPERO> Mark but the badges of these men, my lords,
 271  Then say if they be true. This misshapen knave,
 272  His mother was a witch, and one so strong
 273  That could control the moon, make flows and ebbs,
 274  And deal in her command without her power.
 275  These three have robbed me, and this demi-devil,
 276  For he's a bastard one, had plotted with them
 277  To take my life. Two of these fellows you
 278  Must know and own. This thing of darkness I
 279B Acknowledge mine.<S CALIBAN> I shall be pinched to death.
 280  <S ALONSO> Is not this Stefano, my drunken butler?
 281  <S SEBASTIAN> He is drunk now. Where had he wine?
 282  <S ALONSO> And Trinculo is reeling ripe. Where should they
 283  Find this grand liquor that hath gilded 'em?
 284  <T asd> {(To Trinculo)}<T verse> How cam'st thou in this pickle?
 285  <S TRINCULO> <T prose> I have been in such a pickle since I saw you
 286  last that, I fear me, will never out of my bones. I shall
 287  not fear fly-blowing.
 288  <S SEBASTIAN> Why, how now, Stefano?
 289  <S STEFANO> O, touch me not! I am not Stefano, but a cramp.
 290  <S PROSPERO> You'd be king o' the isle, sirrah?
 291  <S STEFANO> I should have been a sore one, then.
 292  <S ALONSO> <T asd> {(pointing to Caliban)}<T prose> This is a strange    +
 292  thing as e'er
 293  I looked on.
 294  <S PROSPERO> <T verse> He is as disproportioned in his manners
 295  As in his shape.<T asd> {(To Caliban)}<T verse> Go, sirrah, to my cell.
 296  Take with you your companions. As you look
 297  To have my pardon, trim it handsomely.
 298  <S CALIBAN> Ay, that I will; and I'll be wise hereafter,
 299  And seek for grace. What a thrice-double ass
 300  Was I to take this drunkard for a god,
 301B And worship this dull fool!<S PROSPERO> Go to, away!<T esd> {Exit        +
 301B Caliban}
 302  <S ALONSO> <T asd> {(to Stefano and Trinculo)}<T verse> Hence, and       +
 302  bestow your luggage where you found it.
 303  <S SEBASTIAN> <T prose> Or stole it, rather.<T esd> {Exeunt Stefano and  +
 303  Trinculo}
 304  <S PROSPERO> <T asd> {(to Alonso)}<T verse> Sir, I invite your highness  +
 304  and your train
 305  To my poor cell, where you shall take your rest
 306  For this one night; which part of it I'll waste
 307  With such discourse as I not doubt shall make it
 308  Go quick away: the story of my life,
 309  And the particular accidents gone by
 310  Since I came to this isle. And in the morn
 311  I'll bring you to your ship, and so to Naples,
 312  Where I have hope to see the nuptial
 313  Of these our dear-belove\d solemnized;
 314  And thence retire me to my Milan, where
 315B Every third thought shall be my grave.<S ALONSO> I long
 316  To hear the story of your life, which must
 317B Take the ear strangely.<S PROSPERO> I'll deliver all,
 318  And promise you calm seas, auspicious gales,
 319  And sail so expeditious that shall catch
 320  Your royal fleet far off.<T asd> {(Aside to Ariel)}<T verse> My Ariel,   +
 320  chick,
 321  That is thy charge. Then to the elements
 322B Be free, and fare thou well.<T esd> {Exit Ariel}<T verse> Please you,    +
 322B draw near.<T esd> {Exeunt [all but Prospero]}
   0  <X > <Y Ep>
   1  <S PROSPERO> <T verse> Now my charms are all o'erthrown,
   2  And what strength I have's mine own,
   3  Which is most faint. Now 'tis true
   4  I must be here confined by you
   5  Or sent to Naples. Let me not,
   6  Since I have my dukedom got,
   7  And pardoned the deceiver, dwell
   8  In this bare island by your spell;
   9  But release me from my bands
  10  With the help of your good hands.
  11  Gentle breath of yours my sails
  12  Must fill, or else my project fails,
  13  Which was to please. Now I want
  14  Spirits to enforce, art to enchant;
  15  And my ending is despair
  16  Unless I be relieved by prayer,
  17  Which pierces so, that it assaults
  18  Mercy itself, and frees all faults.
  19  As you from crimes would pardoned be,
  20  Let your indulgence set me free.<T esd> {He awaits applause, then exit}
