PROSPERO . [ To Ferdinand . ] Follow me . — [ To Miranda . ] Speak not you for him ; he’s a traitor . [ To Ferdinand . ] Come ; I’ll manacle thy neck and feet together : Sea - water shalt thou drink ; thy food shall be The fresh - brook mussels , wither’d roots , and husks Wherein the acorn cradled . Follow . FERDINAND . No ; I will resist such entertainment till Mine enemy has more power . [ He draws , and is charmed from moving . ] MIRANDA . O dear father ! Make not too rash a trial of him , for He’s gentle , and not fearful . PROSPERO . What ! I say , My foot my tutor ? Put thy sword up , traitor ; Who mak’st a show , but dar’st not strike , thy conscience Is so possess’d with guilt : come from thy ward , For I can here disarm thee with this stick And make thy weapon drop . MIRANDA . Beseech you , father ! PROSPERO . Hence ! Hang not on my garments . MIRANDA . Sir , have pity ; I’ll be his surety . PROSPERO . Silence ! One word more Shall make me chide thee , if not hate thee . What ! An advocate for an impostor ? hush ! Thou think’st there is no more such shapes as he , Having seen but him and Caliban : foolish wench ! To th ’ most of men this is a Caliban , And they to him are angels . MIRANDA . My affections Are then most humble ; I have no ambition To see a goodlier man . PROSPERO . [ To Ferdinand . ] Come on ; obey : Thy nerves are in their infancy again , And have no vigour in them . FERDINAND . So they are : My spirits , as in a dream , are all bound up . My father’s loss , the weakness which I feel , The wrack of all my friends , nor this man’s threats , To whom I am subdued , are but light to me , Might I but through my prison once a day Behold this maid : all corners else o ’ th ’ earth Let liberty make use of ; space enough Have I in such a prison . PROSPERO . [ Aside . ] It works . [ To Ferdinand . ] Come on . Thou hast done well , fine Ariel ! [ To Ferdinand . ] Follow me . [ To Ariel . ] Hark what thou else shalt do me . MIRANDA . Be of comfort ; My father’s of a better nature , sir , Than he appears by speech : this is unwonted Which now came from him . PROSPERO . Thou shalt be as free As mountain winds ; but then exactly do All points of my command . ARIEL . To th ’ syllable . PROSPERO . [ To Ferdinand . ] Come , follow . Speak not for him . [ Exeunt . ] ACT II SCENE I . Another part of the island . Enter Alonso , Sebastian , Antonio , Gonzalo , Adrian , Francisco and others . GONZALO . Beseech you , sir , be merry ; you have cause , So have we all , of joy ; for our escape Is much beyond our loss . Our hint of woe Is common ; every day , some sailor’s wife , The masters of some merchant and the merchant , Have just our theme of woe ; but for the miracle , I mean our preservation , few in millions Can speak like us : then wisely , good sir , weigh Our sorrow with our comfort . ALONSO . Prithee , peace . SEBASTIAN . He receives comfort like cold porridge .
