GONZALO
(to
ALONSO) By 'r lakin, I can
go no further, sir.
My old bones ache. Here’s a maze trod indeed
Through forthrights and meanders. By your patience,
I needs must rest me.
|
GONZALO
I swear, I can’t go any further, sir. My old bones are
tired. We’re wandering in a maze. If you don’t
mind, I need to rest a bit.

ALONSO
Old lord, I cannot
blame thee,
Who am myself attached with weariness
To th' dulling of my spirits. Sit down and rest.
Even here I will put off my hope and keep it
No longer for my flatterer. He is drowned
Whom thus we stray to find, and the sea mocks
Our frustrate search on land. Well, let him go.
|
ALONSO
I can’t blame you, old lord. I’m so tired
myself that it’s bringing me down. Sit down and rest.
I’m losing hope. The one we’re looking for is
dead. We’re searching on land, but he’s lost
in the sea. We have to give up and let him go.

|
ANTONIO
(aside to
SEBASTIAN) I am right glad that
he’s so out of hope.
Do not for one repulse forego the purpose
That you resolved t' effect.
|
ANTONIO
(speaking so that only SEBASTIAN
can hear) I’m glad
he’s so depressed. Don’t back out of our plan
just because it didn’t work the first time.

SEBASTIAN
(aside to
ANTONIO) The
next advantage
Will we take throughly.
|
SEBASTIAN
(speaking so that only ANTONIO
can hear) The next chance we get,
we’ll do the deed.
|
|
|
ANTONIO
(aside to
SEBASTIAN) Let it be
tonight,
For now they are oppressed with travel. They
Will not, nor cannot, use such vigilance
As when they are fresh.
|
ANTONIO
(speaking so that only SEBASTIAN
can hear) Let’s do it
tonight. The men are so tired from traveling that they
can’t be as careful as they are when they’re
fresh.
