SEBASTIAN: |
Bate, I beseech you, widow Dido. |
ANTONIO: |
O, widow Dido! ay, widow Dido. |
GONZALO: |
Is not, sir, my doublet as fresh as the first day I |
wore it? I mean, in a sort. |
ANTONIO: |
That sort was well fished for. |
GONZALO: |
When I wore it at your daughter's marriage? |
ALONSO: |
You cram these words into mine ears against |
The stomach of my sense. Would I had never |
Married my daughter there! for, coming thence, |
My son is lost and, in my rate, she too, |
Who is so far from Italy removed |
I ne'er again shall see her. O thou mine heir |
Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish |
Hath made his meal on thee? |
FRANCISCO: |
Sir, he may live: |
I saw him beat the surges under him, |
And ride upon their backs; he trod the water, |
Whose enmity he flung aside, and breasted |
The surge most swoln that met him; his bold head |
'Bove the contentious waves he kept, and oar'd |
Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke |
To the shore, that o'er his wave-worn basis bow'd, |
As stooping to relieve him: I not doubt |
He came alive to land. |
ALONSO: |
No, no, he's gone. |
SEBASTIAN: |
Sir, you may thank yourself for this great loss, |
That would not bless our Europe with your daughter, |
But rather lose her to an African; |
Where she at least is banish'd from your eye, |
Who hath cause to wet the grief on't. |
ALONSO: |
Prithee, peace. |
SEBASTIAN: |
You were kneel'd to and importuned otherwise |
By all of us, and the fair soul herself |
Weigh'd between loathness and obedience, at |
Which end o' the beam should bow. We have lost your |
son, |
I fear, for ever: Milan and Naples have |
More widows in them of this business' making |
Than we bring men to comfort them: |
The fault's your own. |
ALONSO: |
So is the dear'st o' the loss. |
GONZALO: |
My lord Sebastian, |
The truth you speak doth lack some gentleness |
And time to speak it in: you rub the sore, |
When you should bring the plaster. |
SEBASTIAN: |
Very well. |
ANTONIO: |
And most chirurgeonly. |
GONZALO: |
It is foul weather in us all, good sir, |
When you are cloudy. |
SEBASTIAN: |
Foul weather? |
ANTONIO: |
Very foul. |
GONZALO: |
Had I plantation of this isle, my lord,-- |
ANTONIO: |
He'ld sow't with nettle-seed. |
SEBASTIAN: |
Or docks, or mallows. |
GONZALO: |
And were the king on't, what would I do? |
SEBASTIAN: |
Subsets and Splits
