- ACT TWO THE TEMPEST SCENE ONE
I fear, for ever: Milan and Naples have
Mo widows in them of this business' making
Than we bring men to comfort them :
The fault 's your own.
Alonso. So is the dear'st o' the loss.
Gonzalo. My lord Sebastian,
The truth you speak doth lack some gentleness,
And time to speak it in: you rub the sore,
When you should bring the plaster.
Sebastian. Very well.
Antonio. And most chirurgeonly.
Gonzalo. It is foul weather in us all, good sir,
When you are cloudy.
Sebastian. Foul vreather ?
Antonio. Very fouL
Gonzalo. Had I plantation of this isle, my lord,—
Antonio. He 'Id sow't with nettle-seed.
Sebastian. Or docks, or mallows.
Gonzalo. And were the king on 't, what would I do ?
Sebastian. 'Scape being drunk for want of wine.
Gonzalo. V the commonwealth I would by contraries
Execute all things ; for no kind of traffic
Would I admit ; no name of magistrate ;
Letters should not be known ; riches, poverty,
And use of service, none ; contract, succession.
Bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard, none ;
No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil ;
No occupation ; all men idle, all ;
And women too, but innocent and pure ;
No sovereignty;—
Sebastian. Yet he would be king on't.
Antonio. The latter end of his commonwealth forgets the
beginning.
Gonzalo. All things in common nature should produce
Without sweat or endeavour : treason, felony,
Sword, pike, knife, gun, or need of any engine.
Would I not have ; but nature should bring forth,
Of its own kind, all foison, all abundance.
To feed my innocent people.
Sebastian. No marrying 'mong his subjects?
Antonio. None, man; all idle; whores and knaves.
