PROSPERO . [ Aside . ] Bravely the figure of this Harpy hast thou Perform’d , my Ariel ; a grace it had , devouring . Of my instruction hast thou nothing bated In what thou hadst to say : so , with good life And observation strange , my meaner ministers Their several kinds have done . My high charms work , And these mine enemies are all knit up In their distractions ; they now are in my power ; And in these fits I leave them , while I visit Young Ferdinand , — whom they suppose is drown’d , — And his and mine lov’d darling . [ Exit above . ] GONZALO . I ’ the name of something holy , sir , why stand you In this strange stare ? ALONSO . O , it is monstrous ! monstrous ! Methought the billows spoke , and told me of it ; The winds did sing it to me ; and the thunder , That deep and dreadful organ - pipe , pronounc’d The name of Prosper : it did bass my trespass . Therefore my son i ’ th ’ ooze is bedded ; and I’ll seek him deeper than e’er plummet sounded , And with him there lie mudded . [ Exit . ] SEBASTIAN . But one fiend at a time , I’ll fight their legions o’er . ANTONIO . I’ll be thy second . [ Exeunt Sebastian and Antonio . ] GONZALO . 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 . ADRIAN . Follow , I pray you . [ Exeunt . ] ACT IV SCENE I . Before Prospero’s cell . Enter Prospero , Ferdinand and Miranda . PROSPERO . If I have too austerely punish’d 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 off , For thou shalt find she will outstrip all praise , And make it halt behind her . FERDINAND . I do believe it Against an oracle . PROSPERO . Then , as my gift and thine own acquisition Worthily purchas’d , take my daughter : but If thou dost break her virgin knot before All sanctimonious ceremonies may With full and holy rite be minister’d , No sweet aspersion shall the heavens let fall To make this contract grow ; but barren hate , Sour - ey’d 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 . FERDINAND . 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 strong’st suggestion Our worser 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 founder’d , Or Night kept chain’d below .
