- ACT THREE THE TEMPEST SCENE THREE
Alonso. Old lord, I cannot blame thee,
Who am myself attach'd with weariness,
To the dulling of my spirits : sit down, and rest.
Even here I will put off my hope, and keep it
No longer for my flatterer : he is drown'd
Whom thus we stray to find: and the sea mocks
Our frustrate search on land. Well, let him go.
Antonio. [Aside to Sebastian] I am right glad that he 's SO out
of hope.
Do not, for one repulse, forego the purpose
That you resolved to effect.
Sebastian. [Aside to Antonio^ The next advantage
Will we take throughly.
Antonio. [Aside to Sebastian] Let it be to-night;
For, now they are oppress'd with travel, they
Will not, nor cannot, use such vigilance
As when they are fresh.
Sebastian. [Aside to Antonio] I say, to-night : no more.
[Solemn and strange music.
Alonso. What harmony is this ?— My good friends, hark !
Gonzalo. Marvellous sweet music !
[Enter Prospero above, invisible. Enter several strange
Shapes, bringing in a banquet: they dance about it
with gentle actions of salutation; and, inviting the
King, etc., to eat, they depart.]
Alonso. Give us kind keepers, heavens !— What were these ?
Sebastian. A living drollery. Now I will believe
That there are unicorns; that in Arabia
There is one tree, the phoenix' throne : one phoenix
At this hour reigning there.
Antonio. I '11 believe both ;
And what does else want credit, come to me.
And I '11 be sworn 'tis true : travellers ne'er did lie,
Though fools at home condemn 'em.
Gonzalo. If in Naples
I should report this now, would they believe me ?
If I should say, I saw such islanders, —
For, certes, these are people of the island, —
Who, though they are of monstrous shape, yet, note.
Their manners are more gentle-kind than of
