ACT FOUR THE TEMPEST SCENE ONE Being lass-lorn ; thy pole-clipt vineyard ; And thy sea-marge, sterile and rocky-hard, Where thou thyself dost air;— the queen o' the sky, Whose watery arch and messenger am I, Bids thee leave these ; and with her sovereign grace, Here on this grass-plot, in this very place. To come and sport :— her peacocks fly amain : Approach, rich Ceres, her to entertain. [Enter Ceres."] Ceres. Hail, many-colour'd messenger, that ne'er Dost disobey the wife of Jupiter ; Who, with thy saffron wings, upon my flowers Diffusest honey-drops, refreshing showers ; And with each end of thy blue bow dost crown My bosky acres and my unshrubb'd down. Rich scarf to my proud earth ;— why hath thy queen Summon'd me hither, to this short -grass'd green ? Iris. A contract of true love to celebrate ; And some donation freely to estate On the blest lovers. Ceres. Tell me, heavenly bow. If Venus or her son, as thou dost know, Do now attend the queen ? Since they did plot The means that dusky Dis my daughter got, Her and her blind boy's scandal'd companyI have forsworn. Iris. Of her society Be not afraid : I met her deity Cutting the clouds towards Paphos, and her son Dove-drawn with her. Here thought they to have done Some wanton charm upon this man and maid. Whose vows are, that no bed-right shall be paid Till Hymen's torch be lighted : but in vain ; Mar's hot minion is return'd again; Her waspish-headed son has broke his arrows. Swears he will shoot no more, but play with sparrows, And be a boy right out. Ceres. High'st queen of state, Great Juno, comes ; I know her by her gait. F 8l
