I' th' name of something holy, Sir, why stand you In this strange stare? O, it is monstrous: monstrous: Me thought the billows spoke, and told me of it, The winds did sing it to me: and the Thunder (That deep and dreadful Organ-Pipe) pronounced The name of Prosper: it did base my Trespass, Therefore my Son i' th' Ooze is bedded; and I'll seek him deeper than ere plummet sounded, And with him there lie mudded. But one fiend at a time, I'll fight their Legions over. I'll be thy Second. All three of them are desperate: their great guilt (Like poison given to work a great time after) Now 'gins to bite the spirits: I do beseech you (That are of suppler joints) follow them swiftly, And hinder them from what this ecstasy May now provoke them to. Fellow, I pray you. If I have too austerely punished you, Your compensation makes amends, for I Have given you here, a third of mine own life, Or that for which I live: who, once again I tender to thy hand: All thy vexations Were but my trials of thy love, and thou Hast strangely stood the test: here, afore heaven I ratify this my rich gift: O Ferdinand, Do not smile at me, that I boast her of, For thou shalt find she will outstrip all praise And make it halt, behind her. I do believe it Against an Oracle. Then, as my guest, and thine own acquisition Worthily purchased, take my daughter: But If thou dost break her Virgin-knot, before All sanctimonious ceremonies may With full and holy right, be ministered, No sweet aspersion shall the heavens let fall To make this contract grow; but barren hate, Sower-eyed disdain, and discord shall bestrew The union of your bed, with weeds so loathly That you shall hate it both: Therefore take heed, As Hymen's Lamps shall light you. As I hope For quiet days, fair Issue, and long life, With such love, as 'tis now the murkiest den, The most opportune place, the strongest suggestion, Our worse Genius can, shall never melt Mine honour into lust, to take away The edge of that day's celebration, When I shall think, or Phoebus' Steeds are foundered, Or Night kept chained below. Fairly spoke; Sat then, and talk with her, she is thine own; What Ariell; my industrious servant Ariell. What would my potent master? here I am. Thou, and thy meaner fellows, your last service Did worthily perform: and I must use you In such another trick: go bring the rabble (o'er whom I give thee powre) here, to this place: Incite them to quick motion, for I must Bestow upon the eyes of this young couple Some vanity of mine Art: it is my promise, And they expect it from me. Presently?

I' th name of ſomething holy, Sir, why ſtand you In this ſtrange ſtare? O, it is monſtrous: monſtrous: Me thought the billowes ſpoke, and told me of it, The windes did ſing it to me: and the Thunder (That deepe and dreadfull Organ-Pipe) pronounc'd The name of Proſper: it did baſe my Treſpaſſe, Therefore my Sonne i' th' Ooze is bedded; and I'le ſeeke him deeper then ere plummet ſounded, And with him there lye mudded. But one feend at a time, Ile fight their Legions ore. Ile be thy Second. All three of them are deſperate: their great guilt (Like poyſon giuen to worke a great time after) Now gins to bite the ſpirits: I doe beſeech you (That are of ſuppler ioynts) follow them ſwiftly, And hinder them from what this extaſie May now prouoke them to. Follow, I pray you. If I haue too auſterely puniſh'd you, Your compenſation makes amends, for I Haue giuen you here, a third of mine owne life, Or that for which I liue: who, once againe I tender to thy hand: All thy vexations Were but my trials of thy loue, and thou Haſt ſtrangely ſtood the teſt: here, afore heauen I ratifie this my rich guift: O Ferdinand, Doe not ſmile at me, that I boaſt her of, For thou ſhalt finde ſhe will out-ſtrip all praiſe And make it halt, behinde her. I doe beleeue it Againſt an Oracle. Then, as my gueſt, and thine owne acquiſition Worthily purchas'd, take my daughter: But If thou do'ſt breake her Virgin-knot, before All ſanctimonious ceremonies may With full and holy right, be miniſtred, No ſweet aſperſion ſhall the heauens let fall To make this contract grow; but barraine hate, Sower-ey'd diſdaine, and diſcord ſhall beſtrew The vnion of your bed, with weedes ſo loathly That you ſhall hate it both: Therefore take heede, As Hymens Lamps ſhall light you. As I hope For quiet dayes, faire Iſſue, and long life, With ſuch loue, as 'tis now the murkieſt den, The moſt opportune place, the ſtrongſt ſuggeſtion, Our worſer Genius can, ſhall neuer melt Mine honor into luſt, to take away The edge of that dayes celebration, When I ſhall thinke, or Phoebus Steeds are founderd, Or Night kept chain'd below. Fairely ſpoke; Sit then, and talke with her, ſhe is thine owne; What Ariell; my induſtrious ſeruāt Ariell. What would my potent maſter? here I am. Thou, and thy meaner fellowes, your laſt ſeruice Did worthily performe: and I muſt vſe you In ſuch another tricke: goe bring the rabble (Ore whom I giue thee powre) here, to this place: Incite them to quicke motion, for I muſt Beſtow vpon the eyes of this yong couple Some vanity of mine Art: it is my promiſe, And they expect it from me.
