Is tight, and yare, and bravely rigg'd, as when We first put out to sea. Ari. [aside.] Have I done since I went. Pro. [aside.] Sir, all this service My tricksy spirit ! Alon. These are not natural events; they strengthen, From strange to stranger.- Say, how came you hither? Boats. If I did think, sir, I were well awake, I'd strive to tell you. We were dead of sleep, And (how, we know not) all clapp'd under hatches, Where, but even now, with strange and several noises Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains, Ari. [aside.] Was't well done? Pro. [aside.] Bravely, my diligence. Thou shalt be free. Alon. This is as strange a maze as e'er mer trod: And there is in this business more than nature Was ever conduct of: some oracle Must rectify our knowledge. Pro. Sir, my liege, Do not infest your mind with beating on The strangeness of this business at pick'd leisure, Which shall be shortly, single I'll resolve you (Which to you shall seem probable) of every These happen'd accidents : till when, be cheerful, And think of each thing well.-[Aside.] Come hither, spirit; Set Caliban and his companions free : Untie the spell. [Exit ARIEL.]—How fares my gracious sir? There are yet missing of your company Re-enter ARIEL, driving in CALIBAN, STEPHANO, and Ste. Every nian shift for all the rest, and let no man take care for himself; for all is but fortune.-Coragio, bully-monster, coragio! Trin. If these be true spies which I wear in my head, here's a goodly sight. Cal. O Setebos, these be brave spirits, indeed! How fine my master is! I am afraid What things are these, my lord Antonio? Ant. Very like; one of them Is a plain fish, and, no doubt, marketable. Pro. Mark but the badges of these men, my lords, Then say if they be true. This mis-shapen knave, His mother was a witch, and one so strong That could control the moon, make flows and ebbs, And deal in her command, without her power. These three have robb'd me; and this demi devil (For he's a bastard one) had plotted with them To take my life: two of these fellows you Must know, and own; this thing of darkness I Acknowledge mine. Cal. I shall be pinch'd to death. Alon. Is not this Stephano, my drunken butler? Seb. He is drunk now: where had he wine? Alon. And Trinculo is reeling ripe: where should they Find this grand liquor that hath gilded them ?— How cam'st thou in this pickle? Trin. I have been in such a pickle, since I aw you last, that, I fear me, will never out of my bones: I shall not fear fly-blowing. Seb. Why, how now, Stephano? Ste. O, touch me not; I am not Stephano, but a cramp. Pro. You'd be king o' the isle, sirrah? Ste. I should have been a sore one then. Alon. This is as strange a thing as e'er I look'd on. [Pointing to CALIBAN. Pro. He is as disproportion'd in his manners As in his shape. Go, sirrah, to my cell; Take with you your companions; as you look To have my pardon, trim it handsomely. Cal. Ay, that I will; and I'll be wise hereafter, And seek for grace. Was I, to take this drunkard for a god, What a thrice-double ass Go to; away! And worship this dull fool. Pro. Alon. Hence, and bestow your luggage where you found it. Seb. Or stole it, rather. [Exeunt CALIBAN, STEPHANO, and TRINCULO. Pro. Sir, I invite your highness, and your train, To my poor cell where you shall take your rest Alon. Pro. I'll deliver all; Your royal fleet far off.-[Aside.] My Ariel;chick, That is thy charge; then to the elements Be free, and fare thou well!-Please you draw near. [Exeunt. EPILOGUE. Spoken by PROSPERO.
