GONZALO.

By our lak|in, I | can go | no furth|er, sir,
. T T
T T . T T
,
My old bones ache:| here's a maze trod | indeed
,
, 2 , ,
,
Through forth-|rights, and me|anders:| By your |
patience,
, ,
I needs | must rest | me.
ALONSO.

, 2 , ,
Old lord,| I cannot
| blame thee,
, ,
, ,
,
Who am | myself | attached | with wear|iness
2 , ,
x , ,
To the dul|ling of | my spirits:| sit down,| and
rest:
x ,
, ,
x
Even here / I will | put^off | my hope,| and keep
it
, ,
, 2 ,
,
No long|er for | my flat|terer: he | is drowned
,
, ,
, ,
Whom thus | we stray | to find,| and the / sea mocks
,
, ,
T T . T
Our frus|trate* search | on land;| well, let him go.
ANTONIO.
,
, , ,
,
I am / right glad,| that he's | so out | of
hope:
,
, ,
, ,
2->
Do not | for one | repulse | forgo | the
pur||pose
,
, 2 ,
That you | resolved | to effect.
SEBASTIAN.
,
, ->
The next | advan||tage
, , ,
Will / we take | throughly.
ANTONIO.
2
, ,
Let^it be | tonight, ??
,
, 2 , ,
,
For now | they are op|pressed | with tra|vail,
they
T T T
, , , 2
Will not, nor | cannot | use such | vigilance^
,
2 ,
As when | they are fresh.
SEBASTIAN.
, ,
,
I say,| tonight:| no more.
[Solemn and strange music: and PROSPERO above, invisible. Enter several
strange Shapes, bringing in a banquet: they dance about it with gentle
actions of salutation; and inviting the KING, etc., to eat, they depart.]
ALONSO.
, , ,
, ___ __ ->
What har|mony | is this?| my good | friends,||
hark.
GONZALO.
, , ,
oo
Marvel|lous sweet | music.|
ALONSO.
T . T T
x T T T
Give us kind keep|ers, heavens: | What were
these?
SEBASTIAN.
, ,
2 , ,
,
A liv|ing drol|lery: now | I will | believe
, , , ,
2 , 2
That there | are un|icorns:| that in Ar|abia
2 , ,
, ,
,
There is one | tree, the | phoenix | throne, one
| phoenix
. T T T ,
At this hour reign|ing there.
ANTONIO.
T
. T T
I'll believe both:
. T T
T , ,
,
And what does else | want cred|it, come | to me
3 3
, , ,
, ,
And I'll be sworn | 'tis true:| travel|lers nere
| did lie,
,
, ,
Though fools | at home | condemn | them.
GONZALO.
,
, ->
If | in
Nap||les
,
2 , ,
, 2 ,
I | should report | this now,| would they
be|lieve me?
, ,
, ,
If I | should say | I saw | such is|lands;
<- ,
, ,
, ,
(For || certes,| these are | people | of the |
island)
,
, , ,
,
Who though | they are | of monst|rous shape,| yet
note
, , ,
, ,
Their man|ners are / more gent|le, kind,| than of
, ,
, , ,
Our hum|an gen|era|tion you | shall find
, ,
,
Many,| nay al|most an|y.
PROSPERO.
,
,
Hon|est lord,
, ,
, 2 , ,
Thou hast / said well:| for some | of you there |
present;
,
x
Are worse | than devils.
ALONSO.
,
, ,
I can|not too | much^muse
T T T ,
2 , ,
2->
Such shapes, such | gesture, and | such^sound |
express||ing
, ,
, ,
,
(Although | they want | the use | of tongue)| a
kind
, 2 ,
,
Of ex|cellent dumb | discourse.
PROSPERO.
, 2
,
Praise in de|parting.
FRANCISCO.
,
,
They van|ished strange|ly.
SEBASTIAN.
, , ,
No
| matter,| since
<- 2 ,
, 2 , ,
,
They have || left their | viands be|hind; for
| we have | stomachs.
,
, , ,
Wilt please | you taste | of what | is here?
ALONSO.
,
Not
I.
GONZALO.
,
, ,
, ,
Faith sir,| you need | not fear:| When we | were
boys
,
, , ,
,
Who would | believe | that there | were
mount|aineers,
T T T
, , ,
3 3
Dewlapped, like | bulls, whose^|throats had |
hanging at them
, 2
, ,
T T T
Wallets of | flesh? Or / that there | were such
men
,
, , ,
,
Whose^heads | stood in | their breasts?| Which
now | we find
, ,
, ,
x
Each put|ter-out | of five | for one,| will bring
us
, ,
Good war/rant of.
ALONSO.
, , ,
I will / stand to,| and feed,
,
, , ,
,
Although | my last,| no mat|ter, since | I feel
,
, , ,
,
The best | is past:| Brother,| my lord,| the
duke,
, ,
,
Stand to,| and do | as we. \\
[Thunder and lightning. Enter ARIEL, like a harpy; claps his wings upon the
table; and, with a quaint device, the banquet vanishes]
ARIEL.
T . T T
, , ,
You are three men | of sin,| whom Dest|iny
,

That hath | to ins|trument | this low|er world,
,
x , ,
2 ,
And what | is in it:| the nev|er-sur|feited sea,

Hath caused | to belch up you;| and on this
| island,
,
, x T T
T
Where man | doth not | inhabit,| you 'mongst men,
2 , ,
, 2 ,
,
Being most | unfit | to live:| I have made | you
mad;
[Seeing ALONSO, SEBASTIAN, etc., draw their swords]
x
, x T T . T
And even | with such^/like valor,| men hang and
drown
,
, ,
, 2 ,
Their prop|er selves:| You fools,| I and my |
fellows
, ,
, , ,
Are min|isters | of fate,| the el|ements
,
, , ,
,
Of whom | your swords | are temp|ered, may | as
well
T . T T ,

Wound the loud winds,| or with | bemocked|-at
stabs
T . T T

Kill the still-clos|ing wat|ers, as di|minish

One^dowle | that's in | my plume:| my
fel|low-min||isters

2 , ,
,
Are like | invul|nerable:| If you / could hurt,
,
, , ,
,
Your swords | are now | too mas/sy for | your
strengths,
, , 2 ,
, ,
And will | not be up|lifted:| But re|member
,
, ,
, ,
(For that's | my bus|iness to | you) that / you
three
, ,
, ,
,
From Mil|an did | supplant | good* Pro|spero,
,
, 2 ,

Exposed | unto the | sea (which | hath re|quit
it)
,

Him, and | his in|nocent child:| for which / foul
deed,

The powers,| delay|ing (not | forget|ting) have

Incensed | the seas,| and shores;| yea, all the
crea||tures

Against | your peace:| Thee of thy | son, A|lonso

They have | bereft;| and do | pronounce | by me

Lingering | perdi|tion (worse | than an|y death

Can be | at once)| shall step,| by step | attend

You, and | your ways,| whose^wraths | to guard |
you from,

Which here,| in this most | desolate | isle, else
falls
,

Upon | your heads,| is noth|ing but
heart-|sorrow,

And a / clear life | ensu|ing. \\
[He vanishes in thunder: then, to soft music, enter the Shapes again, and
dance, with mocks and mows, and carry out the table]
PROSPERO.

Bravely the | figure | of this | harpy,| hast
thou

Per||formed (my | Ariel)| a grace it

Of my in|struction,| hast thou | nothing | bated

In what | thou hadst | to say:| so with good |
life,

And obser||vation | strange, my |

In their dis|tractions:| they now | are in | my

Young Ferdinand |(whom they | suppose | is

GONZALO.

In the name | of some|thing ho|ly, sir,| why
stand || you
2 , ,
In this / strange stare?
ALONSO.

O, it is | monstrous:|
monstrous:
,
, ,
, x
Methought | the bil|lows spoke,| and told | me of
it,
, ,
, , 2 ,
The winds | did sing | it to | me: and the | thunder

pronounced

The name | of Pros|per: it | did bass | my
tres||pass.

There|fore my son | in the ooze | is bed|ded; and

I'll seek | him deep|er than ere | plummet |
sounded,

And with | him there lie | mudded.|
[Exit]
SEBASTIAN.

But one | fiend at | a time,

I'll fight | their leg|ions ore.
ANTONIO.

I'll be | thy sec|ond. (tri

(That are | of sup|pler joints)| follow them |

Follow, I | pray you.
