- ACT THREE THE TEMPEST SCENE ONE
Miranda. Miranda. — O my father,
I have broke your hest to say so!
Ferdinand. Admired Miranda!
Indeed the top of admiration ! worth
What's dearest to the world! Full many a lady
I have eyed with best regard, and many a time
The harmony of their tongues hath into bondage
Brought my too diligent ear : for several virtues
Have I liked several women ; never any
With so full soul, but some defect in her
Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed,
And put it to the foil : but you, O you,
So perfect and so peerless, are created
Of every creature's best !Miranda. I do not know
One of my sex ; no woman's face remember,

More that I may call men than you, good friend,
And my dear father: how features are abroad,
I am skilless of; but, by my modesty,
The jewel in my dower, I would not wish
Any companion in the world but you ;
Nor can imagination form a shape,
Besides yourself, to like of But I prattle
Something too wildly, and my father's precepts

Ferdinand. I am, in my condition,
A prince, Miranda; I do think, a king;

This wooden slavery than to suffer
The flesh-fly blow my mouth. Hear my soul speak:
The very instant that I saw you, did
My heart fly to your service ; there resides,
To make me slave to it; and for your sake
Am I this patient log-man.
Miranda. Do you love me?
Ferdinand. O heaven, O earth, bear witness to this
sound,
And crown what I profess with kind event,
If I speak true ! if hollowly, invert
What best is boded me to mischief! I,60
