Trin.

Doe, doe; we steale by lyne and leuell, and't

Ste.

I thank thee for that iest; heer's a garment for't:

Wit shall not goe vn‑rewarded while I am King of this

Country: Steale by line and leuell, is an excellent passe

of pate: there's another garment for't.

Tri.
[1845]

Monster, come put some Lime vpon your fin­

gers, and away with the rest.

Cal. I will haue none on't: we shall loose our time, And all be turn'd to Barnacles, or to Apes With foreheads villanous low. Ste.
[1850]

Monster, lay to your fingers: helpe to beare this

away, where my hogshead of wine is, or Ile turne you

out of my kingdome: goe to, carry this.

Tri.

And this.

Hey Mountaine, hey.

Siluer: there it goes, Siluer.

Pro. Fury, Fury: there Tyrant, there: harke, harke. Goe, charge my Goblins that they grinde their ioynts With dry Convultions, shorten vp their sinewes

With aged Cramps, & more pinch‑spotted make them, Then Pard, or Cat o'Mountaine.
Ari.

Harke, they rore.

Pro. Let them be hunted soundly: At this houre Lies at my mercy all mine enemies:
[1865]
Shortly shall all my labours end, and thou Shalt haue the ayre at freedome: for a little Follow, and doe me seruice.
Exeunt.

[1945]
Thy brother was a furtherer in the Act, Thou art pinch'd for't now Sebastian. Flesh, and bloud, You, brother mine, that entertaine ambition, Expelld remorse, and nature, whom, with Sebastian (Whose inward pinches therefore are most strong)
[1950]
Would heere haue kill'd your King: I do forgiue thee, Vnnaturall though thou art: Their vnderstanding Begins to swell, and the approching tide Will shortly fill the reasonable shore That now ly foule, and muddy: not one of them
[1955]
That yet lookes on me, or would know me: Ariell, Fetch me the Hat, and Rapier in my Cell, I will discase me, and my selfe present As I was sometime Millaine: quickly Spirit, Thou shalt ere long be free.
Ariell sings, and helps to attire him.
[1960]
Where the Bee sucks, there suck I, In a Cowslips bell, I lie, There I cowch when Owles doe crie, On the Batts backe I doe flie after Sommer merrily.
[1965]
Merrily, merrily, shall I liue now, Vnder the blossom that hangs on the Bow.
Pro. Why that's my dainty Ariell: I shall misse Thee, but yet thou shalt haue freedome: so, so, so, To the Kings ship, inuisible as thou art,
[1970]
There shalt thou finde the Marriners asleep Vnder the Hatches: the Master and the Boat‑swaine Being awake, enforce them to this place; And presently, I pre'thee.
Ar. I drinke the aire before me, and returne
[1975]
Or ere your pulse twice beate.
Exit. Gon. All torment, trouble, wonder, and amazement Inhabits heere: some heauenly power guide vs Out of this fearefull Country. Pro. Behold Sir King
[1980]
The wronged Duke of Millaine, Prospero: For more assurance that a liuing Prince Do's now speake to thee, I embrace thy body, And to thee, and thy Company, I bid A hearty welcome.
Alo.
[1985]
Where thou bee'st he or no, Or some inchanted triflle to abuse me, (As late I haue beene) I not know: thy Pulse Beats as of flesh, and blood: and since I saw thee, Th'affliction of my minde amends, with which
[1990]
I feare a madnesse held me: this must craue (And if this be at all) a most strange story. Thy Dukedome I resigne, and doe entreat Thou pardon me my wrongs: But how shold Prospero Be liuing, and be heere?
Pro.
[1995]
First, noble Frend, Let me embrace thine age, whose honor cannot Be measur'd, or confin'd.
Gonz. Whether this be, Or be not, I'le not sweare. Pro.
[2000]
You doe yet taste Some subtleties o'th'Isle, that will nor let you Beleeue things certaine: Wellcome, my friends all, But you, my brace of Lords, were I so minded I heere could plucke his Highnesse frowne vpon you
[2005]
And iustifie you Traitors: at this time I will tell no tales.
Seb.

The Diuell speakes in him:

Pro. No: For you (most wicked Sir) whom to call brother
[2010]
Would euen infect my mouth, I do forgiue Thy rankest fault; all of them: and require My Dukedome of thee, which, perforce I know Thou must restore.
Alo. If thou beest Prospero
[2015]
Giue vs particulars of thy preseruation, How thou hast met vs heere, whom three howres since Were wrackt vpon this shore? where I haue lost (How sharp the point of this remembrance is) My deere sonne Ferdinand.
Pro.
[2020]

I am woe for't, Sir.

Alo. Irreparable is the losse, and patience Saies, it is past her cure. Pro. I rather thinke You haue not sought her helpe, of whose soft grace
[2025]
For the like losse, I haue her soueraigne aid, And rest my selfe content.
Alo.

You the like losse?

Pro. As great to me, as late, and supportable To make the deere losse, haue I meanes much weaker
[2030]
Then you may call to comfort you; for I Haue lost my daughter.
Alo. A daughter? Oh heauens, that they were liuing both in Naples The King and Queene there, that they were, I wish
[2035]
My selfe were mudded in that oo‑zie bed Where my sonne lies: when did you lose your daughter?
Pro. In this last Tempest. I perceiue these Lords At this encounter doe so much admire, That they deuoure their reason, and scarce thinke
[2040]
Their eies doe offices of Truth: Their words Are naturall breath: but howsoeu'r you haue Beene iustled from your sences, know for certain That I am Prospero, and that very Duke Which was thrust forth of Millaine, who most strangely
[2045]
Vpon this shore (where you were wrackt) was landed To be the Lord on't: No more yet of this, For 'tis a Chronicle of day by day, Not a relation for a break‑fast, nor Befitting this first meeting: Welcome, Sir;
[2050]
This Cell's my Court: heere haue I few attendants, And Subiects none abroad: pray you looke in: My Dukedome since you haue giuen me againe, I will requite you with as good a thing, At least bring forth a wonder, to content ye
[2055]
As much, as me my Dukedome.
Here Prospero discouers Ferdinand and Miranda, play­ ing at Chesse. Mir.

Sweet Lord, you play me false.

Fer. No my dearest loue, I would not for the world. Mir. Yes, for a score of Kingdomes, you should (wrangle,
[2060]
And I would call it faire play.
Alo. If this proue A vision of the Island, one deere Sonne Shall I twice loose. Seb.

A most high miracle.

Fer.
[2065]
Though the Seas threaten they are mercifull, I haue curs'd them without cause.
Alo. Now all the blessings Of a glad father, compasse thee about: Arise, and say how thou cam'st heere. Mir.
[2070]
O wonder! How many goodly creatures are there heere? How beauteous mankinde is? O braue new world That has such people in't.
Pro.

'Tis new to thee.

Alo.
[2075]
What is this Maid, with whom thou was't at (play? Your eld'st acquaintance cannot be three houres: Is she the goddesse that hath seuer'd vs, And brought vs thus together?
Fer. Sir, she is mortall;
[2080]
But by immortall prouidence, she's mine; I chose her when I could not aske my Father For his aduise: nor thought I had one: She Is daughter to this famous Duke of Millaine, Of whom, so often I haue heard renowne,
[2085]
But neuer saw before: of whom I haue Receiu'd a second life; and second Father This Lady makes him to me.
Alo. I am hers. But O, how odly will it sound, that I
[2090]
Must aske my childe forgiuenesse?
Pro. There Sir stop, Let vs not burthen our remembrances, with A heauinesse that's gon. Gon. I haue inly wept,
[2095]
Or should haue spoke ere this: looke downe you gods And on this couple drop a blessed crowne; For it is you, that haue chalk'd forth the way Which brought vs hither.
Alo.

I say Amen, Gonzallo.

Gon.
[2100]
Was Millaine thrust from Millaine, that his Issue Should become Kings of Naples? O reioyce Beyond a common ioy, and set it downe With gold on lasting Pillers: In one voyage Did Claribell her husband finde at Tunis,
[2105]
And Ferdinand her brother, found a wife, Where he himselfe was lost : Prospero, his Dukedome In a poore Isle: and all of vs, our selues, When no man was his owne.
Alo. Giue me your hands:
[2110]
Let griefe and sorrow still embrace his heart, That doth not wish you ioy,
Gon. Be it so, Amen. Enter Ariell, with the Master and Boatswaine amazedly following. O looke Sir, looke Sir, here is more of vs: I prophesi'd, if a Gallowes were on Land
[2115]
This fellow could not drowne: Now blasphemy, That swear'st Grace ore‑boord, not an oath on shore, Hast thou no mouth by land? What is the newes?
Bot. The best newes is, that we haue safely found
[2120]
Our King, and company: The next: our Ship, Which but three glasses since, we gaue out split, Is tyte, and yare, and brauely rig'd, as when We first put out to Sea.
Ar. Sir, all this seruice
[2125]
Haue I done since I went.
Pro.

My tricksey Spirit.

Alo. These are not naturall euents, they strengthen From strange, to stranger: say, how came you hither? Bot. If I did thinke, Sir, I were well awake,
[2130]
I'ld striue to tell you: we were dead of sleepe, And (how we know not) all clapt vnder hatches, Where, but euen now, with strange, and seuerall noyses Of roring, shreeking, howling, gingling chaines, And mo diuersitie of sounds, all horrible.
[2135]
We were awak'd: straight way, at liberty; Where we, in all our trim, freshly beheld Our royall, good, and gallant Ship: our Master Capring to eye her: on a trice, so please you, Euen in a dreame, were we diuided from them,
[2140]
And were brought moaping hither.
Ar. Was't well done? Pro. Brauely (my diligence) thou shalt be free. Alo. This is as strange a Maze, as ere men trod, And there is in this businesse, more then nature
[2145]
Was euer conduct of: some Oracle Must rectifie our knowledge.
Pro. Sir, my Leige, Doe not infest your minde, with beating on The strangenesse of this businesse, at pickt leisure
[2150]
(Which shall be shortly single) I'le resolue you, (Which to you shall seeme probable) of euery These happend accidents: till when, be cheerefull And thinke of each thing well: Come hither Spirit, Set Caliban, and his companions free:
[2155]
Vntye the Spell: How fares my gracious Sir? There are yet missing of your Companie Some few odde Lads, that you remember not.
Enter Ariell, driuing in Caliban, Stephano, and Trinculo in their stolne Apparell. Ste. Euery man shift for all the rest, and let No man take care for himselfe; for all is
[2160]
But fortune: Coragio Bully‑Monster Corasio.
Tri. If these be true spies which I weare in my head, here's a goodly sight. Cal. O Setebos, these be braue Spirits indeede: How fine my Master is? I am afraid
[2165]
He will chastise me.
Seb. Ha, ha: What things are these, my Lord Anthonio? Will money buy em? Ant. Very like: one of them
[2170]
Is a plaine Fish, and no doubt marketable.
Pro. Marke but the badges of these men, my Lords, Then say if they be true: This mishapen knaue; His Mother was a Witch, and one so strong That could controle the Moone; make flowes, and ebs,
[2175]
And deale in her command, without her power: These three haue robd me, and this demy‑diuell; (For he's a bastard one) had plotted with them To take my life: two of these Fellowes, you Must know, and owne, this Thing of darkenesse, I
[2180]
Acknowledge mine.
Cal.

I shall be pincht to death.

Alo.

Is not this Stephano, my drunken Butler?

Seb. He is drunke now; Where had he wine? Alo.
[2185]
And Trinculo is reeling ripe: where should they Finde this grand Liquor that hath gilded 'em? How cam'st thou in this pickle?
Tri. I haue bin in such a pickle since I saw you last, That I feare me will neuer out of my bones:
[2190]
I shall not feare fly‑blowing.
Seb.

Why how now Stephano?

Ste.

O touch me not, I am not Stephano, but a Cramp.

Pro.

You'ld be King o'the Isle, Sirha?

Ste.

I should haue bin a sore one then.

Alo.
[2195]

This is a strange thing as ere I look'd on.

Pro. He is as disproportion'd in his Manners As in his shape: Goe Sirha, to my Cell, Take with you your Companions: as you looke To haue my pardon, trim it handsomely. Cal.
[2200]
I that I will: and Ile be wise hereafter, And seeke for grace: what a thrice double Asse Was I to take this drunkard for a god? And worship this dull foole?
Pro.

Goe to, away.

Alo.
[2205]

Hence, and bestow your luggage where you

(found it.

Seb.

Or stole it rather.

Pro. Sir, I inuite your Highnesse, and your traine To my poore Cell: where you shall take your rest
[2210]
For this one night, which part of it, Ile waste With such discourse, as I not doubt, shall make it Goe quicke away: The story of my life, And the particular accidents, gon by Since I came to this Isle: And in the morne
[2215]
I'le bring you to your ship, and so to Naples, Where I haue hope to see the nuptiall Of these our deere‑belou'd, solemnized, And thence retire me to my Millaine, where Euery third thought shall be my graue.
Alo.
[2220]
I long To heare the story of your life; which must Take the eare strangely.
Pro. I'le deliuer all, And promise you calme Seas, auspicious gales,
[2225]
And saile, so expeditious, that shall catch Your Royall fleete farre off: My Ariel; chicke That is thy charge: Then to the Elements Be free, and fare thou well: please you draw neere.
Exeunt omnes.
