- ACT TWO THE TEMPEST SCENE ONE
Oonzalo. I would with such perfection govern, sir,
To excel the golden age.
Sebastian. 'Save his majesty!
Antonio. Long live Gonzalo !
Gonzalo. And, — do you mark me, sir?
Alonso. Prithee, no more : thou dost talk nothing to me.
Oonzalo. I do well believe your highness ; and did it to minister
occasion to these gentlemen, who are of such sensible and
nimble lungs that they always use to laugh at nothing.
Antonio. 'Twas you we laughed at.
Gonzalo. Who in this kind of merry fooling am nothing to
you : so you may continue, and laugh at nothing still.
Antonio. What a blow was there given !
Sebastian. An it had not fallen flat-long.
Oonzalo. You are gentlemen of brave metal ; you would lifl
the moon out of her sphere, if she would continue in it
five weeks without changing.
[Enter Ariel (invisible) playing solemn music]
Sebastian. We would so, and then go a bat-fowling.
Antonio. Nay, good my lord, be not angry.
Gonzalo. No, I warrant you ; I will not adventure my dis-
cretion so weakly. Will you laugh me asleep, for I am
very heavy?
Antonio. Go sleep, and hear us.
[All sleep except Alonso, Sebastian, and Antonio.
Alonso. What, all so soon asleep ! I wish mine eyes
Would, with themselves, shut up my thoughts : I find
They are inclined to do so.
Sebastian. Please you, sir,
Do not omit the heavy offer of it :
It seldom visits sorrow; when it doth,
It is a comforter.
Antonio. We two, my lord,
Will guard your person while you take your rest,
And watch your safety.
Alonso. Thank you. — ^Wondrous heavy.
[Alonso sleeps. Exit Ariel.
Sebastian. What a strange drowsiness possesses them 1
Antonio. It is the quality o' the climate.
