To him you follow’st, I will pay thy graces
Home both in word and deed.—
(to
ALONSO) Most
cruelly
Didst thou, Alonso, use me and my daughter.
Thy brother was a furtherer in the act.—
(to
SEBASTIAN) Thou art pinched for
’t now, Sebastian.—
(to
ANTONIO)Flesh and blood,
You brother mine, that entertained ambition,
Expelled remorse and nature, whom, with Sebastian,
Whose inward pinches therefore are most strong,
Would here have killed your king—I do forgive thee,
Unnatural though thou art.
(aside) Their
understanding
Begins to swell, and the approaching tide
Will shortly fill the reasonable shore
That now lies foul and muddy. Not one of them
That yet looks on me, or would know me.—
(to
ARIEL) Ariel,
Fetch me the hat and rapier in my cell.
I will discase me, and myself present
As I was sometime Milan. Quickly, spirit.
Thou shalt ere long be free.

(to
ALONSO) You, Alonso, manipulated me
and my daughter cruelly, and your brother helped
you.—(to
SEBASTIAN) You’re paying
the price for it now,
Sebastian.—(to
ANTONIO) My brother, you were so
greedy for power that you forgot natural compassion and our bond as
brothers, and were ready to kill your king—I forgive you,
though you’re a
monster.—(to himself) Look
at them, they’re starting to understand. Soon their
confused minds will clear up. But at this point not a single one of
them recognizes me.—(to
ARIEL) Ariel, get me my hat and sword
from my room. I’ll take off the clothes I’m
wearing now, and put on the ones I used to wear in
Milan.—Soon, spirit, you’ll be free.

ARIEL
(sings and helps to attire
PROSPERO)
Where the bee sucks, there suck
I.
In a cowslip’s bell
I lie.
There I couch when owls do
cry.
On the bat’s back I
do fly
After summer merrily.
Merrily, merrily shall I live
now
Under the blossom that hangs on
the bough.

ARIEL
(he sings and helps PROSPERO
dress)
Where the bee drinks, I drink
dew.
I lie in the cup of a cowslip
flower.
I sleep there when the owls
hoot.
I fly on a bat’s
back,
following the summer around the
globe.
Happily, happily I will live
now
Under the blossom that hangs on
the bough.

PROSPERO
Why, that’s my dainty Ariel. I shall miss thee,
But yet thou shalt have freedom.—So, so,
so.—
To the king’s ship, invisible as thou art.
There shalt thou find the mariners asleep

PROSPERO
Why, that’s my dainty Ariel singing now.
I’ll miss you, Ariel, but you’ll be
free.—Yes, you will, yes.—Go to the
king’s ship in your invisible state. There
you’ll find the sailors asleep below deck. Find the
Master and
