Hang, cur, hang! you whoreson, insolent noisemaker, we are less afraid to be drowned than thon art. Gon. I'll warrant him from drowning; tho' the ship were no stronger than a nut-shell, and as leaky as an unstaunched wench. Boats.

To cabin: silence: trouble us not. Gon. Good; yet remember whom thou hast aboard. Boats. None that I more love than myself. You are a counsellor; if you can command these elements to silence, and work the peace of the present, we shall not hand a rope more; use your authority. If you cannot, give thanks you have lived so long, and make yourself ready in your cabin for the mischance of the hour, if it so hap.-Cheerly, good hearts.-Out of our way, I say. [Exit. [Exit.

Re-enter Boatswain. The freighting souls within her. Pro. Be collected; No more amazement: tell your piteous heart, Pro. No harm. I have done nothing but in care of thee, (Of thee, my dear one! thee, my daughter!) who | And rapt in secret studies. Thy false uncle Art ignorant of what thou art, nought knowing Mira. More to know Did never meddle with my thoughts. Dost thou attend me? Mira. Sir, most heedfully. Pro. Being once perfected how to grant suits, The creatures that were mine; I say, or chang'd them,. To what tune pleas'd his ear; that now he was Mira. O, good sir, I do. I should inform thee further. Lend thy hand, down; For thon must now know further. Mira. You have often Begun to tell me what I am; but stopp'd, Pro. The hour's now come: The very minute bids thee ope thine ear; I do not think thou can'st; for then thou wast not Mira. Certainly, sir, I can. Pro. By what? by any other house, or person? Mira. 'Tis far off; And rather like a dream than an assurance, If thou remember'st aught, ere thou cam'st here, Mira. But that I do not. Pro. I thus neglecting worldly ends, all dedicate Like a good parent, did beget of him As my trust was; which had, indeed, no limit, To credit his own lie, - he did believe Mira. Your tale, sir, would cure deafness. Mira. O, the heavens! Pro. Mark his condition, and the event; then tell me, Pro. Twelve years since, Miranda, twelve years since, If this might be a brother. Thy father was the duke of Milan, and A prince of power. Mira. Sir, are not you my father? Pro. Thy mother was a piece of virtue, and She said thou wast my daughter; and thy father Was duke of Milan; and his only heir A princess; -no worse issued. Mira. O, the heavens! Mira. I should sin To think but nobly of my grandmother: Pro. Now the condition. This king of Naples, being an enemy To me inveterate, hearkens my brother's suit; What foul play had we, that we came from thence? Should presently extirpate me and mine Pro. Both, both, my girl: Out of the dukedom; and confer fair Milan, By foul play, as thou say'st, were we heav'd thence; A treacherous army levied, one midnight But blessedly holp hither. Mira. O, my heart bleeds To think o' the teen that I have turn'd you to, Which is from my remembrance! Please you, further. Fated to the purpose, did Antonio open Mira. Alack, for pity! I, not rememb'ring how I cried out then, Pro. Hear a little further, And then I'll bring thee to the present business, Mira. Wherefore did they not That hour destroy us? Pro. Well demanded, wench; My tale provokes that question. Dear, they durst not; | And sight-out-running were not: The fire, and cracks (So dear the love my people bore me) nor set A mark so bloody on the business; but Bore us some leagues to sea; where they prepar'd Mira. Alack! what trouble Pro. O a cherubim Thou wast, that did preserve me! Thou didst smile, When I have deck'd the sea with drops full salt; Mira. How came we ashore? Some food we had, and some fresh water, that Out of his charity, (who being then appointed But ever see that man! Pro. Now I arise: Sit still, and hear the last of our sea-sorrow. (For still 'tis beating in my mind,) your reason Pro. Know thus far forth. By accident most strange, bountiful Fortune, Of sulphurous roaring, the most mighty Neptune Seem'd to besiege, and make his bold waves tremble, Yea, his dread trident shake. Pro. My brave spirit! Who was so firm, so constant, that this coil Would not infect his reason? Ari. Not a soul But felt a fever of the mad, and play'd On their sustaining garments not a blemish, The mariners, say, how thou hast dispos'd, Ari. Safely in harbour Is the king's ship; in the deep nook, where once Supposing that they saw the king's ship wreck'd, Exactly is perform'd; but there's more work: Ari. Past the mid season. Pro. At least two glasses: The time 'twixt six and [Miranda sleeps. Ari. My liberty. Come away, servant, come: I am ready now; Approach, my Ariel; come. Enter ARIEL. Pro. Before the time be out? no more. Remember, I have done thee worthy service; Ari. All hail, great master! grave sir, hail! I come Told thee no lies, made no mistakings, serv'd To answer thy best pleasure; be't to fly, To swim, to dive into the fire, to ride On the curl'd clouds: to thy strong bidding task Ariel, and all his quality. Pro. Hast thou, spirit, Perform'd to point the tempest that I bade thee? I boarded the king's ship; now on the beak, Without or grudge, or grumblings: thou did'st proTo bate me a full year. Pro. Dost thou forget From what a torment I did free thee? Pro. Thou dost: and think'st It much, to tread the ooze of the salt deep; Ari. I do not, sir. mise Pro. Thou liest, malignant thing! Hast thou forgot The foul witch Sycorax, who, with age, and envy, Was grown into a hoop? hast thou forgot her? Ari. No, sir. Pro. Thou hast: Where was she born? speak; tell me. Ari. Sir, in Argier. Pro. O, was she so? I must, Once in a month, recount what thou hast been, Pro. This blue-ey'd hag was hither brought with child, And here was left by the sailors: Thou, my slave, Ari. Yes; Caliban, her son. Pro. Dull thing, I say so; he, that Caliban, Whom now I keep in service. Thou best know'st What torment I did find thee in: thy groans Did make wolves howl, and penetrate the breasts Of ever-angry bears; it was a torment To lay upon the damn'd, which Sycorax Could not again undo; it was mine art, When I arriv'd, and heard thee, that made gape The pine, and let thee out. Ari. I thank thee, master. Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up; urchins Shall, for that vast of night that they may work, All exercise on thee: thou shalt be pinch'd As thick as honey-combs, each pinch more stinging Than bees that made them. Cal. I must eat my dinner. This island's mine, by Sycorax my mother, Water with berries in't; and teach me how Pro. Thou most lying slave, Whom stripes may move, not kindness: I have us'd thee, Filth as thou art, with human care; and lodg'd thee In mine own cell, till thou didst seek to violate The honour of my child. Cal. O ho, O ho!-'would it had been done! Pro. If thou more murmur'st, I will rend an oak, Thou didst prevent me; I had peopled else And peg thee in his knotty entrails, till Thou hast howl'd away twelve winters. Ari. Pardon, master: I will be correspondent to command, And do my spiriting gently. Pro. Do so; and after two days I will discharge thee.. Ari. That's my noble master! What shall I do? say what? what shall I do? [Exit Ariel. Awake, dear heart, awake! thou hast slept well: Awake! Mira. The strangeness of your story put Heaviness on me. Pro. Shake it off: Come on; We'll visit Caliban, my slave, who never Mira. 'Tis a villain, sir, I do not love to look on. Pro. But, as 'tis, We cannot miss him: he does make our fire, Cal. [Within.] There's wood enough within. Re-enter AKIEL, like a water-nymph. Fine apparition! My quaint Ariel, thee: This isle with Calibans. Pro. Abhorred slave; |
