Now the Condition. s King of Naples being an Enemy To me inueterate, hearkens my Brothers suit, Which was, That he in lieu o'th' premises, Of homage, and I know not how much Tribute,
[210]
Should presently extirpate me and mine Out of the Dukedome, and confer faire Millaine With all the Honors, on my brother: Whereon A treacherous Armie leuied, one mid‑night Fated to th' purpose, did Anthonio open
[215]
The gates of Millaine, and ith' dead of darkenesse The ministers for th' purpose hurried thence Me, and thy crying selfe. Mir. Alack, for pitty: I not remembring how I cride out then
[220]
Will cry it ore againe: it is a hint That wrings mine eyes too't. Pro. Heare a little further, And then I'le bring thee to the present businesse Which now's vpon's: without the which, this Story
[225]
Were most impertinent. Mir. Wherefore did they not That howre destroy vs? Pro. Well demanded, wench: My Tale prouokes that question: Deare, they durst not,
[230]
So deare the loue my people bore me: nor set A marke so bloudy on the businesse; but With colours fairer, painted their foule ends. In few, they hurried vs a‑boord a Barke, Bore vs some Leagues to Sea, where they prepared
[235]
A rotten carkasse of a Butt, not rigg'd, Nor tackle, sayle, nor mast, the very rats Instinctiuely haue quit it: There they hoyst vs To cry to th' Sea, that roard to vs; to sigh To th' windes, whose pitty sighing backe againe
[240]
Did vs but louing wrong. Mir. Alack, what trouble Was I then to you? Pro. O, a Cherubin Thou was't that did preserue me; Thou didst smile,
[245]
Infused with a fortitude from heauen, When I haue deck'd the sea with drops full salt, Vnder my burthen groan'd, which rais'd in me An vndergoing stomacke, to beare vp Against what should ensue. Mir.
[250]
How came we a shore? Pro. By prouidence diuine, Some food, we had, and some fresh water, that A noble Neopolitan Gonzalo Out of his Charity, (who being then appointed
[255]
Master of this designe) did giue vs, with Rich garments, linnens, stuffs, and necessaries Which since haue steeded much, so of his gentlenesse Knowing I lou'd my bookes, he furnishd me From mine owne Library, with volumes, that
[260]
I prize aboue my Dukedome. Mir. Would I might But euer see that man. Pro. Now I arise, Sit still, and heare the last of our sea‑sorrow:
[265]
Heere in this Iland we arriu'd, and heere Haue I, thy Schoolemaster, made thee more profit Then other Princesse can, that haue more time For vainer howres; and Tutors, not so care Mir. Heuens thank you for't. And now
[270]
For still 'tis beating in my minde; your reason For raysing this Sea‑storme? Pro. Know thus far forth, By accident most strange, bountifull Fortune (Now my deere Lady) hath mine enemies
[275]
Brought to this shore: And by my prescience I finde my Zenith doth depend vpon A most auspitious starre, whose influence If now I court not, but omit; my fortunes Will euer after droope: Heare cease more questions,
[280]
Thou art inclinde to sleepe: 'tis a good dulnesse, And giue it way: I know thou canst not chuse: Come away, Seruant, come; I am ready now, Approach my Ariel. Come. Enter Ariel. Ari. All haile, great Master, graue Sir, haile: I come
[285]
To answer thy best pleasure; be't to fly, To swim, to diue into the fire: to ride On the curld clowds: to thy strong bidding, taske Ariel, and all his Qualitie. Pro. Hast thou, Spirit,
[290]
Performd to point, the Tempest that I bad thee. Ar. To euery Article. I boorded the Kings ship: now on the Beake, Now in the Waste, the Decke, in euery Cabyn, I flam'd amazement, sometime I'ld diuide
[295]
And burne in many places; on the Top‑mast, The Yards and Bore‑spritt, would I flame distinctly, Then meete, and ioyne. Ioues Lightning, the precursers O'th dreadfull Thunder‑claps more momentarie And sight out‑running were not; the fire, and cracks
[300]
Of sulphurous roaring, the most mighty Neptune Seeme to besiege, and make his bold waues tremble, Yea, his dread Trident shake. Pro. My braue Spirit, Who was so firme, so constant, that this coyle
[305]
Would not infect his reason? Ar. Not a soule But felt a Feauer of the madde, and plaid Some tricks of desperation; all but Mariners Plung'd in the foaming bryne, and quit the vessell;
[310]
Then all a fire with me the Kings sonne Ferdinand With haire vp‑staring (then like reeds, not haire) Was the first man that leapt; cride hell is empty, And all the Diuels are heere. Pro. Why that's my spirit:
[315]
But was not this nye shore? Ar. Close by, my Master Pro. But are they ( Ariell) safe? Ar. Not a haire perishd: On their sustaining garments not a blemish,
[320]
But fresher then before: and as thou badst me, In troops I haue dispersd them 'bout the Isle: The Kings sonne haue I landed by himselfe, Whom I left cooling of the Ayre with sighes, In an odde Angle of the Isle, and sitting
[325]
His armes in this sad knot. Pro. Of the Kings ship, The Marriners, say how thou hast disposd, And all the rest o'th' Fleete? Ar. S in harbor
[330]
pe in the deepe Other copies of the First Folio have the signature A2 and the catchword "Which" on this page, damaged in this copy. (Which I dispers'd) they all haue met againe, And are vpon the Mediterranian Flote Bound sadly home for Naples, Supposing that they saw the Kings ship wrackt,
[335]
And his great person perish. Pro. Ariel, thy charge Exactly is Perform'd; but there's more worke: What is the time o'th' day? Ar. Past the mid season. Pro.
[340]
At least two Glasses: the time 'twixt six & now Must by vs both be spent most preciously. Ar. Is there more toyle? Since yͧ thou dost giue me pains, Let me remember thee what thou hast promis'd, Which is not yet perform'd me. Pro.
[345]
How now? moodie? What is't thou canst demand? Ar. My Libertie. Pro. Before the time be out? no more: Ar. I prethee,
[350]
Remember I haue done thee worthy seruice, Told thee no lyes, made thee no mistakings, serv'd Without or grudge, or grumblings; thou did promise To bate me a full yeere. Pro. Do'st thou forget
[355]
From what a torment I did free thee? Ar. No. Pro. Thou do'st: & thinkst it much to tread yͤ the Ooze Of the salt deepe; To run vpon the sharpe winde of the North,
[360]
To doe me businesse in the veines o'th' earth When it is bak'd with frost. Ar. I doe not Sir. Pro. Thou liest, malignant Thing: hast thou forgot The fowle Witch Sycorax, who with Age and Enuy
[365]
Was growne into a hoope? hast thou forgot her? Ar. No Sir. Pro. Thou hast: where was she born? speak: tell me: Ar. Sir, in Argier. Pro. Oh, was she so: I must
[370]
Once in a moneth recount what thou hast bin, Which thou forgetst. This damn'd Witch Sycorax For mischiefes manifold, and sorceries terrible To enter humane hearing, from Argier Thou know'st was banish'd: for one thing she did
[375]
They wold not take her life: Is not this true? Ar. I, Sir. Pro. This blew ey'd hag, was hither brought with (child, child, And here was left by th' Saylors; thou my slaue, As thou reportst thy selfe, was then her seruant,
[380]
And for thou wast a Spirit too delicate To act her earthy, and abhord commands, Refusing her grand hests, she did confine thee By helpe of her more potent Ministers, And in her most vnmittigable rage,
[385]
Into a clouen Pyne, within which rift Imprison'd, thou didst painefully remaine A dozen yeeres: within which space she di'd, And left thee there: where thou didst vent thy groanes As fast as Mill‑wheeles strike: Then was this Island
[390]
(Saue for the Son, that he did littour heere, A frekelld whelpe, hag‑borne) not honour'd with A hu her sonne. To lay vpon the damn'd, which Sycorax
[395]
Could not againe vndoe: it was mine Art, When I arriu'd, and heard thee, that made gape The Pyne, and let thee out. Ar. I thanke thee Master. Pro. If thou more murmur'st, I will rend an Oake
[400]
And peg‑thee in his knotty entrailes, till Thou hast howl'd away twelue winters. Ar. Pardon, Master, I will be correspondent to command And doe my spryting, gently. Pro.
[405]
Doe so: and after two daies I will discharge thee. Ar. That's my noble Master: What shall I doe? say what? what shall I doe? Pro. Goe make thy selfe like a Nymph o'th' Sea,
[410]
Be subiect to no sight but thine, and mine: inuisible To euery eye‑ball else: goe take this shape And hither come in't: goe: hence With diligence. Exit. Pro. Awake, deere hart awake, thou hast slept well,
[415]
Awake. Mir. The strangenes of your story, put Heauinesse in me. Pro. Shake it off: Come on, Wee'll visit Caliban, my slaue, who neuer
[420]
Yeelds vs kinde answere. Mir. 'Tis a villaine Sir, I doe not loue to looke on. Pro. But as 'tis We cannot misse him: he do's make our fire, Fetch in our wood, and serues in Offices
[425]
That profit vs: What hoa: slaue: Caliban: Thou Earth, thou: speake.
