<H3>SCENE III. Another part of the island.</h3>
<p><blockquote>
<i>Enter ALONSO, SEBASTIAN, ANTONIO, GONZALO, ADRIAN, FRANCISCO, and others</i>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech1><b>GONZALO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>By'r lakin, I can go no further, sir;</A><br>
<A NAME=2>My old bones ache: here's a maze trod indeed</A><br>
<A NAME=3>Through forth-rights and meanders! By your patience,</A><br>
<A NAME=4>I needs must rest me.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech2><b>ALONSO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=5>Old lord, I cannot blame thee,</A><br>
<A NAME=6>Who am myself attach'd with weariness,</A><br>
<A NAME=7>To the dulling of my spirits: sit down, and rest.</A><br>
<A NAME=8>Even here I will put off my hope and keep it</A><br>
<A NAME=9>No longer for my flatterer: he is drown'd</A><br>
<A NAME=10>Whom thus we stray to find, and the sea mocks</A><br>
<A NAME=11>Our frustrate search on land. Well, let him go.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech3><b>ANTONIO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=12>[Aside to SEBASTIAN] I am right glad that he's so</A><br>
<A NAME=13>out of hope.</A><br>
<A NAME=14>Do not, for one repulse, forego the purpose</A><br>
<A NAME=15>That you resolved to effect.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech4><b>SEBASTIAN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=16>[Aside to ANTONIO] The next advantage</A><br>
<A NAME=17>Will we take throughly.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech5><b>ANTONIO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=18>[Aside to SEBASTIAN] Let it be to-night;</A><br>
<A NAME=19>For, now they are oppress'd with travel, they</A><br>
<A NAME=20>Will not, nor cannot, use such vigilance</A><br>
<A NAME=21>As when they are fresh.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech6><b>SEBASTIAN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=22>[Aside to ANTONIO] I say, to-night: no more.</A><br>
<p><i>Solemn and strange music</i></p>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech7><b>ALONSO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=23>What harmony is this? My good friends, hark!</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech8><b>GONZALO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=24>Marvellous sweet music!</A><br>
<p><i>Enter PROSPERO above, invisible. Enter several strange Shapes, bringing in a banquet; they dance about it with gentle actions of salutation; and, inviting the King, & c. to eat, they depart</i></p>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech9><b>ALONSO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=25>Give us kind keepers, heavens! What were these?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech10><b>SEBASTIAN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=26>A living drollery. Now I will believe</A><br>
<A NAME=27>That there are unicorns, that in Arabia</A><br>
<A NAME=28>There is one tree, the phoenix' throne, one phoenix</A><br>
<A NAME=29>At this hour reigning there.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech11><b>ANTONIO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=30>I'll believe both;</A><br>
<A NAME=31>And what does else want credit, come to me,</A><br>
<A NAME=32>And I'll be sworn 'tis true: travellers ne'er did</A><br>
<A NAME=33>lie,</A><br>
<A NAME=34>Though fools at home condemn 'em.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech12><b>GONZALO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=35>If in Naples</A><br>
<A NAME=36>I should report this now, would they believe me?</A><br>
<A NAME=37>If I should say, I saw such islanders--</A><br>
<A NAME=38>For, certes, these are people of the island--</A><br>
<A NAME=39>Who, though they are of monstrous shape, yet, note,</A><br>
<A NAME=40>Their manners are more gentle-kind than of</A><br>
<A NAME=41>Our human generation you shall find</A><br>
<A NAME=42>Many, nay, almost any.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech13><b>PROSPERO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=43>[Aside] Honest lord,</A><br>
<A NAME=44>Thou hast said well; for some of you there present</A><br>
<A NAME=45>Are worse than devils.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech14><b>ALONSO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=46>I cannot too much muse</A><br>
<A NAME=47>Such shapes, such gesture and such sound, expressing,</A><br>
<A NAME=48>Although they want the use of tongue, a kind</A><br>
<A NAME=49>Of excellent dumb discourse.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech15><b>PROSPERO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=50>[Aside] Praise in departing.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech16><b>FRANCISCO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=51>They vanish'd strangely.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech17><b>SEBASTIAN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=52>No matter, since</A><br>
<A NAME=53>They have left their viands behind; for we have stomachs.</A><br>
<A NAME=54>Will't please you taste of what is here?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech18><b>ALONSO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=55>Not I.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech19><b>GONZALO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=56>Faith, sir, you need not fear. When we were boys,</A><br>
<A NAME=57>Who would believe that there were mountaineers</A><br>
<A NAME=58>Dew-lapp'd like bulls, whose throats had hanging at 'em</A><br>
<A NAME=59>Wallets of flesh? or that there were such men</A><br>
<A NAME=60>Whose heads stood in their breasts? which now we find</A><br>
<A NAME=61>Each putter-out of five for one will bring us</A><br>
<A NAME=62>Good warrant of.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech20><b>ALONSO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=63> I will stand to and feed,</A><br>
<A NAME=64>Although my last: no matter, since I feel</A><br>
<A NAME=65>The best is past. Brother, my lord the duke,</A><br>
<A NAME=66>Stand to and do as we.</A><br>
<p><i>Thunder and lightning. Enter ARIEL, like a harpy; claps his wings upon the table; and, with a quaint device, the banquet vanishes</i></p>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech21><b>ARIEL</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=67>You are three men of sin, whom Destiny,</A><br>
<A NAME=68>That hath to instrument this lower world</A><br>
<A NAME=69>And what is in't, the never-surfeited sea</A><br>
<A NAME=70>Hath caused to belch up you; and on this island</A><br>
<A NAME=71>Where man doth not inhabit; you 'mongst men</A><br>
<A NAME=72>Being most unfit to live. I have made you mad;</A><br>
<A NAME=73>And even with such-like valour men hang and drown</A><br>
<A NAME=74>Their proper selves.</A><br>
<p><i>ALONSO, SEBASTIAN & c. draw their swords</i></p>
<A NAME=75>You fools! I and my fellows</A><br>
<A NAME=76>Are ministers of Fate: the elements,</A><br>
<A NAME=77>Of whom your swords are temper'd, may as well</A><br>
<A NAME=78>Wound the loud winds, or with bemock'd-at stabs</A><br>
<A NAME=79>Kill the still-closing waters, as diminish</A><br>
<A NAME=80>One dowle that's in my plume: my fellow-ministers</A><br>
<A NAME=81>Are like invulnerable. If you could hurt,</A><br>
<A NAME=82>Your swords are now too massy for your strengths</A><br>
<A NAME=83>And will not be uplifted. But remember--</A><br>
<A NAME=84>For that's my business to you--that you three</A><br>
<A NAME=85>From Milan did supplant good Prospero;</A><br>
<A NAME=86>Exposed unto the sea, which hath requit it,</A><br>
<A NAME=87>Him and his innocent child: for which foul deed</A><br>
<A NAME=88>The powers, delaying, not forgetting, have</A><br>
<A NAME=89>Incensed the seas and shores, yea, all the creatures,</A><br>
<A NAME=90>Against your peace. Thee of thy son, Alonso,</A><br>
<A NAME=91>They have bereft; and do pronounce by me:</A><br>
<A NAME=92>Lingering perdition, worse than any death</A><br>
<A NAME=93>Can be at once, shall step by step attend</A><br>
<A NAME=94>You and your ways; whose wraths to guard you from--</A><br>
<A NAME=95>Which here, in this most desolate isle, else falls</A><br>
<A NAME=96>Upon your heads--is nothing but heart-sorrow</A><br>
<A NAME=97>And a clear life ensuing.</A><br>
<p><i>He vanishes in thunder; then, to soft music enter the Shapes again, and dance, with mocks and mows, and carrying out the table</i></p>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech22><b>PROSPERO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=98>Bravely the figure of this harpy hast thou</A><br>
<A NAME=99>Perform'd, my Ariel; a grace it had, devouring:</A><br>
<A NAME=100>Of my instruction hast thou nothing bated</A><br>
<A NAME=101>In what thou hadst to say: so, with good life</A><br>
<A NAME=102>And observation strange, my meaner ministers</A><br>
<A NAME=103>Their several kinds have done. My high charms work</A><br>
<A NAME=104>And these mine enemies are all knit up</A><br>
<A NAME=105>In their distractions; they now are in my power;</A><br>
<A NAME=106>And in these fits I leave them, while I visit</A><br>
<A NAME=107>Young Ferdinand, whom they suppose is drown'd,</A><br>
<A NAME=108>And his and mine loved darling.</A><br>
<p><i>Exit above</i></p>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech23><b>GONZALO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=109>I' the name of something holy, sir, why stand you</A><br>
<A NAME=110>In this strange stare?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech24><b>ALONSO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=111>O, it is monstrous, monstrous:</A><br>
<A NAME=112>Methought the billows spoke and told me of it;</A><br>
<A NAME=113>The winds did sing it to me, and the thunder,</A><br>
<A NAME=114>That deep and dreadful organ-pipe, pronounced</A><br>
<A NAME=115>The name of Prosper: it did bass my trespass.</A><br>
<A NAME=116>Therefore my son i' the ooze is bedded, and</A><br>
<A NAME=117>I'll seek him deeper than e'er plummet sounded</A><br>
<A NAME=118>And with him there lie mudded.</A><br>
<p><i>Exit</i></p>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech25><b>SEBASTIAN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=119>But one fiend at a time,</A><br>
<A NAME=120>I'll fight their legions o'er.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech26><b>ANTONIO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=121>I'll be thy second.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt SEBASTIAN, and ANTONIO</i></p>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech27><b>GONZALO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=122>All three of them are desperate: their great guilt,</A><br>
<A NAME=123>Like poison given to work a great time after,</A><br>
<A NAME=124>Now 'gins to bite the spirits. I do beseech you</A><br>
<A NAME=125>That are of suppler joints, follow them swiftly</A><br>
<A NAME=126>And hinder them from what this ecstasy</A><br>
<A NAME=127>May now provoke them to.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech28><b>ADRIAN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=128>Follow, I pray you.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt</i></p>
