GONZALO: |
How lush and lusty the grass looks! how green! |
ANTONIO: |
The ground indeed is tawny. |
SEBASTIAN: |
With an eye of green in't. |
ANTONIO: |
He misses not much. |
SEBASTIAN: |
No; he doth but mistake the truth totally. |
GONZALO: |
But the rarity of it is,--which is indeed almost |
beyond credit,-- |
SEBASTIAN: |
As many vouched rarities are. |
GONZALO: |
That our garments, being, as they were, drenched in |
the sea, hold notwithstanding their freshness and |
glosses, being rather new-dyed than stained with |
salt water. |
ANTONIO: |
If but one of his pockets could speak, would it not |
say he lies? |
SEBASTIAN: |
Ay, or very falsely pocket up his report |
GONZALO: |
Methinks our garments are now as fresh as when we |
put them on first in Afric, at the marriage of |
the king's fair daughter Claribel to the King of Tunis. |
SEBASTIAN: |
'Twas a sweet marriage, and we prosper well in our return. |
ADRIAN: |
Tunis was never graced before with such a paragon to |
their queen. |
GONZALO: |
Not since widow Dido's time. |
ANTONIO: |
Widow! a pox o' that! How came that widow in? |
widow Dido! |
SEBASTIAN: |
What if he had said 'widower AEneas' too? Good Lord, |
how you take it! |
ADRIAN: |
'Widow Dido' said you? you make me study of that: |
she was of Carthage, not of Tunis. |
GONZALO: |
This Tunis, sir, was Carthage. |
ADRIAN: |
Carthage? |
GONZALO: |
I assure you, Carthage. |
SEBASTIAN: |
His word is more than the miraculous harp; he hath |
raised the wall and houses too. |
ANTONIO: |
What impossible matter will he make easy next? |
SEBASTIAN: |
I think he will carry this island home in his pocket |
and give it his son for an apple. |
ANTONIO: |
And, sowing the kernels of it in the sea, bring |
forth more islands. |
GONZALO: |
Ay. |
ANTONIO: |
Why, in good time. |
GONZALO: |
Sir, we were talking that our garments seem now |
as fresh as when we were at Tunis at the marriage |
of your daughter, who is now queen. |
ANTONIO: |
And the rarest that e'er came there. |
