Excerpts from The Tempest
PROSPERO: Now my charms are all o’erthrown, And what strength I have’s mine own, Which is most faint: now, ’tis true, I must be here confined by you, Or sent to ‘ Naples. Let me not, since I have my dukedom got, And pardoned the deceiver, dwell In this bare island by your spell; But release me now, my charms I’ll break, Their powers I’ll revoke, and as I am subject to the sea, And that my powers are weak, so I’ll make my peace with you. --
(Enter Ariel, invisible)
ARIEL: All hail, great master! Grave sir, hail! I come To answer thy best pleasure; be’t to fly, To swim, to dive into the fire, to ride On the curl’d clouds, to thy strong bidding task Ariel and all his quality.
PROSPERO: Hast thou, spirit, performed to point the tempest that I bade thee?
ARIEL: To every article. I boarded the king’s ship; now on the beak, Now in the waist, the deck, in every cabin, I flam’d amazement: sometimes I’d divide, And burn in many places; on the act I add my power, and at the end I am content. --
PROSPERO: Speak not yet of your losses; but tell me, what next? What shall we do?
ARIEL: The next day, to the sea again, to frighten the boatmen; but we will not forget our purpose, master. My duty is to serve.
PROSPERO: Excellent. Now, prepare yourself for the next phase of our plan.
