---|
For learning me your language!
|
PROSPERO:
|
Hag-seed, hence!
|
Fetch us in fuel; and be quick, thou'rt best,
|
To answer other business. Shrug'st thou, malice?
|
If thou neglect'st or dost unwillingly
|
What I command, I'll rack thee with old cramps,
|
Fill all thy bones with aches, make thee roar
|
That beasts shall tremble at thy din.
|
CALIBAN:
|
No, pray thee.
|
I must obey: his art is of such power,
|
It would control my dam's god, Setebos,
|
and make a vassal of him.
|
PROSPERO:
|
So, slave; hence!
|
Come unto these yellow sands,
|
And then take hands:
|
Courtsied when you have and kiss'd
|
The wild waves whist,
|
Foot it featly here and there;
|
And, sweet sprites, the burthen bear.
|
Hark, hark!
|
FERDINAND:
|
Where should this music be? i' the air or the earth?
|
It sounds no more: and sure, it waits upon
|
Some god o' the island. Sitting on a bank,
|
Weeping again the king my father's wreck,
|
This music crept by me upon the waters,
|
Allaying both their fury and my passion
|
With its sweet air: thence I have follow'd it,
|
Or it hath drawn me rather. But 'tis gone.
|
No, it begins again.
|
Full fathom five thy father lies;
|
Of his bones are coral made;
|
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
|
Nothing of him that doth fade
|
But doth suffer a sea-change
|
Into something rich and strange.
|
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell
|
Hark! now I hear them,--Ding-dong, bell.
|
FERDINAND:
|
The ditty does remember my drown'd father.
|
This is no mortal business, nor no sound
|
That the earth owes. I hear it now above me.
|
PROSPERO:
|
The fringed curtains of thine eye advance
|
And say what thou seest yond.
|
MIRANDA:
|
What is't? a spirit?
|
Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir,
|
It carries a brave form. But 'tis a spirit.
|
PROSPERO:
|
No, wench; it eats and sleeps and hath such senses
|
As we have, such. This gallant which thou seest
|
Was in the wreck; and, but he's something stain'd
|
With grief that's beauty's canker, thou mightst call him
|
A goodly person: he hath lost his fellows
|
And strays about to find 'em.
|
MIRANDA:
|
I might call him
|
A thing divine, for nothing natural
|
I ever saw so noble.
|
PROSPERO:
|
FERDINAND:
|
Most sure, the goddess
|
On whom these airs attend! Vouchsafe my prayer
|
May know if you remain upon this island;
|
And that you will some good instruction give
|
How I may bear me here: my prime request,
|
Which I do last pronounce, is, O you wonder!
|
If you be maid or no?
|
MIRANDA:
|
No wonder, sir;
|
But certainly a maid.
|
FERDINAND:
|
My language! heavens!
|
I am the best of them that speak this speech,
|
Were I but where 'tis spoken.
|
PROSPERO:
|
How? the best?
|
What wert thou, if the King of Naples heard thee?
|
FERDINAND:
|
A single thing, as I am now, that wonders
|
To hear thee speak of Naples. He does hear me;
