The name thou ow'st not; and hast put thyself From me, the lord on't. Fer. No, as I am a man. Mira. There's nothing ill can dwell in such a' temple : If the ill spirit have so fair an house, Good things will strive to dwell with't. Pro. [To Ferd.] Follow me. Speak not you for him; he's a traitor.-Come, Sea-water shalt thou drink, thy food shall be 610 The fresh-brook muscles, wither'd roots, and husks Wherein the acorn cradled: Follow. Fer. No; I will resist such entertainment, 'till [He draws. Mine enemy has more power. Mira. O dear father, Make not too rash a trial of him, for He's gentle, and not fearful. Pro. What, I say, My foot my tutor?-Put thy sword up, traitor; 620 Who mak'st a shew, but dar'st not strike, thy con science Is so possess'd with guilt: come from thy ward; And make thy weapon drop. Mira. Beseech you, father! Pro. Hence; hang not on my garments. Mira. Sir, have pity; I'll be his surety. Pro. Silence: one word more 630 Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What, An advocate for an impostor? hush! Thou think'st, there are no more such shapes as he, Having seen but him and Caliban; Foolish wench! To the most of men this is a Caliban, And they to him are angels. Mira. My affections Are then most humble; I have no ambition To see a goodlier man. Pro. Come on; obey: [To FERDINAND] Thy nerves are in their infancy again, 640 And have no vigour in them. Fer. So they are: My spirits, as in a dream, are all bound up. The wreck of all my friends, or this man's threats, Let liberty make use of; space enough Have I, in such a prison. Pro. It works : -Come on. 650 [To ARIEL.] Thou hast done well, fine Ariel!— Follow me. Hark, what thou else shalt do me. Mira.

BESEECH you, sir, be merry: you have cause Is much beyond our loss: Our hint of woe Can speak like us: then wisely, good sir, weigh Alon. Pr'ythee, peace. 10 "Seb. He receives comfort like cold porridge. "Ant. The visitor will not give him o'er so. "Seb. Look, he's winding up the watch of his wit; "by and by it will strike, "Gon. Sir, -- r "Seb. "Seb. One Tell. Gon. When every grief is entertain'd, that's offer'd, "Comes to the entertainer "Seb. A dollar. "Gon. Dolour comes to him, indeed; you have spoken truer than you purpos'd. 421 "Seb. You have taken it wiselier than I meant you "should. "Therefore, my lord,——— "Ant. Fie, what a spend-thrift is he of his tongue! "Alon. I pr'ythee, spare. "Gon. Well, I have done: But yet→→→→→→→ "Seb. He will be talking. "Ant. Which of them, he, or Adrian, for a good wager, first begins to crow ? "Seb. The old cock. "Ant. The cockrel. "Seb. Done; the wager? "Ant. A laughter. "Seb. A match. "Adr. Though this island seem to be desert, "Seb. Ha, ha, ha! "Ant. So, you've pay'd. ́ "Adr. Uninhabitable, and almost inaccessible, "Seb. Yet, "Adr. Yet "Ant.

He misses not much. "Seb. No; he doth but mistake the truth totally. "Gon. But the rarity of it is (which is, indeed, almost beyond credit)— "Seb. As many vouch'd rarities are. 60 "Gon. That our garments, being, as they were, "drench'd in the sea, hold notwithstanding their "freshness, and glosses; being rather new dy'd, than "stain'd with salt water. "Ant. If but one of his pockets could speak, "would it not say, he lies? "Seb. Ay, or very falsely pocket up his report." Gon.
