<H3>SCENE I. Before PROSPERO'S cell.</h3>

<p><blockquote>
<i>Enter PROSPERO, FERDINAND, and MIRANDA</i>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech1><b>PROSPERO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>If I have too austerely punish'd you,</A><br>
<A NAME=2>Your compensation makes amends, for I</A><br>
<A NAME=3>Have given you here a third of mine own life,</A><br>
<A NAME=4>Or that for which I live; who once again</A><br>
<A NAME=5>I tender to thy hand: all thy vexations</A><br>
<A NAME=6>Were but my trials of thy love and thou</A><br>
<A NAME=7>Hast strangely stood the test here, afore Heaven,</A><br>
<A NAME=8>I ratify this my rich gift. O Ferdinand,</A><br>
<A NAME=9>Do not smile at me that I boast her off,</A><br>
<A NAME=10>For thou shalt find she will outstrip all praise</A><br>
<A NAME=11>And make it halt behind her.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech2><b>FERDINAND</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=12>I do believe it</A><br>
<A NAME=13>Against an oracle.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech3><b>PROSPERO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=14>Then, as my gift and thine own acquisition</A><br>
<A NAME=15>Worthily purchased take my daughter: but</A><br>
<A NAME=16>If thou dost break her virgin-knot before</A><br>
<A NAME=17>All sanctimonious ceremonies may</A><br>
<A NAME=18>With full and holy rite be minister'd,</A><br>
<A NAME=19>No sweet aspersion shall the heavens let fall</A><br>
<A NAME=20>To make this contract grow: but barren hate,</A><br>
<A NAME=21>Sour-eyed disdain and discord shall bestrew</A><br>
<A NAME=22>The union of your bed with weeds so loathly</A><br>
<A NAME=23>That you shall hate it both: therefore take heed,</A><br>
<A NAME=24>As Hymen's lamps shall light you.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech4><b>FERDINAND</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=25>As I hope</A><br>
<A NAME=26>For quiet days, fair issue and long life,</A><br>
<A NAME=27>With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den,</A><br>
<A NAME=28>The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion.</A><br>
<A NAME=29>Our worser genius can, shall never melt</A><br>
<A NAME=30>Mine honour into lust, to take away</A><br>
<A NAME=31>The edge of that day's celebration</A><br>
<A NAME=32>When I shall think: or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd,</A><br>
<A NAME=33>Or Night kept chain'd below.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech5><b>PROSPERO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=34>Fairly spoke.</A><br>
<A NAME=35>Sit then and talk with her; she is thine own.</A><br>
<A NAME=36>What, Ariel! my industrious servant, Ariel!</A><br>
<p><i>Enter ARIEL</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech6><b>ARIEL</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=37>What would my potent master? here I am.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech7><b>PROSPERO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=38>Thou and thy meaner fellows your last service</A><br>
<A NAME=39>Did worthily perform; and I must use you</A><br>
<A NAME=40>In such another trick. Go bring the rabble,</A><br>
<A NAME=41>O'er whom I give thee power, here to this place:</A><br>
<A NAME=42>Incite them to quick motion; for I must</A><br>
<A NAME=43>Bestow upon the eyes of this young couple</A><br>
<A NAME=44>Some vanity of mine art: it is my promise,</A><br>
<A NAME=45>And they expect it from me.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech8><b>ARIEL</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=46>Presently?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech9><b>PROSPERO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=47>Ay, with a twink.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech10><b>ARIEL</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=48>   Before you can say 'come' and 'go,'</A><br>
<A NAME=49>And breathe twice and cry 'so, so,'</A><br>
<A NAME=50>Each one, tripping on his toe,</A><br>
<A NAME=51>Will be here with mop and mow.</A><br>
<A NAME=52>Do you love me, master? no?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech11><b>PROSPERO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=53>Dearly my delicate Ariel. Do not approach</A><br>
<A NAME=54>Till thou dost hear me call.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech12><b>ARIEL</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=55>Well, I conceive.</A><br>
<p><i>Exit</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech13><b>PROSPERO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=56>Look thou be true; do not give dalliance</A><br>
<A NAME=57>Too much the rein: the strongest oaths are straw</A><br>
<A NAME=58>To the fire i' the blood: be more abstemious,</A><br>
<A NAME=59>Or else, good night your vow!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech14><b>FERDINAND</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=60>I warrant you sir;</A><br>
<A NAME=61>The white cold virgin snow upon my heart</A><br>
<A NAME=62>Abates the ardour of my liver.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech15><b>PROSPERO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=63>Well.</A><br>
<A NAME=64>Now come, my Ariel! bring a corollary,</A><br>
<A NAME=65>Rather than want a spirit: appear and pertly!</A><br>
<A NAME=66>No tongue! all eyes! be silent.</A><br>
<p><i>Soft music</i></p>
<p><i>Enter IRIS</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech16><b>IRIS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=67>Ceres, most bounteous lady, thy rich leas</A><br>
<A NAME=68>Of wheat, rye, barley, vetches, oats and pease;</A><br>
<A NAME=69>Thy turfy mountains, where live nibbling sheep,</A><br>
<A NAME=70>And flat meads thatch'd with stover, them to keep;</A><br>
<A NAME=71>Thy banks with pioned and twilled brims,</A><br>
<A NAME=72>Which spongy April at thy hest betrims,</A><br>
<A NAME=73>To make cold nymphs chaste crowns; and thy broom -groves,</A><br>
<A NAME=74>Whose shadow the dismissed bachelor loves,</A><br>
<A NAME=75>Being lass-lorn: thy pole-clipt vineyard;</A><br>
<A NAME=76>And thy sea-marge, sterile and rocky-hard,</A><br>
<A NAME=77>Where thou thyself dost air;--the queen o' the sky,</A><br>
<A NAME=78>Whose watery arch and messenger am I,</A><br>
<A NAME=79>Bids thee leave these, and with her sovereign grace,</A><br>
<A NAME=80>Here on this grass-plot, in this very place,</A><br>
<A NAME=81>To come and sport: her peacocks fly amain:</A><br>
<A NAME=82>Approach, rich Ceres, her to entertain.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter CERES</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech17><b>CERES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=83>Hail, many-colour'd messenger, that ne'er</A><br>
<A NAME=84>Dost disobey the wife of Jupiter;</A><br>
<A NAME=85>Who with thy saffron wings upon my flowers</A><br>
<A NAME=86>Diffusest honey-drops, refreshing showers,</A><br>
<A NAME=87>And with each end of thy blue bow dost crown</A><br>
<A NAME=88>My bosky acres and my unshrubb'd down,</A><br>
<A NAME=89>Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen</A><br>
<A NAME=90>Summon'd me hither, to this short-grass'd green?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech18><b>IRIS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=91>A contract of true love to celebrate;</A><br>
<A NAME=92>And some donation freely to estate</A><br>
<A NAME=93>On the blest lovers.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech19><b>CERES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=94>Tell me, heavenly bow,</A><br>
<A NAME=95>If Venus or her son, as thou dost know,</A><br>
<A NAME=96>Do now attend the queen? Since they did plot</A><br>
<A NAME=97>The means that dusky Dis my daughter got,</A><br>
<A NAME=98>Her and her blind boy's scandal'd company</A><br>
<A NAME=99>I have forsworn.</A><br>
