- ACT FIVE THE TEMPEST SCENE ONE
[Here Prospero discovers Ferdinand and Miranda
playing at chess.]
Miranda. Sweet lord, you play me false.
Ferdinand. No, my dear'st love,I would not for the world.
Miranda. Yes, for a score of kingdoms you should wrangle
And I would call it fair play.
Alonso. If this prove
A vision of the island, one dear son
Shall I twice lose.
Sebastian. A most high miracle !
Ferdinand. Though the seas threaten, they are merciful ;
I have cursed them without cause. [Kneels.
Alonso. Now all the blessings
Of a glad father compass thee about !
Arise, and say how thou tamest here.
Miranda. O, wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is ! O brave new world.
That has such people in't!
Prospero. 'Tis new to thee.
Alonso. What is this maid with whom thou wast at play?
Your eld'st acquaintance cannot be three hours:
Is she the goddess that hath sever'd us,
And brought us thus together?
Ferdinand. Sir, she is mortal;
But by immortal Providence she 's mine :
I chose her when I could not ask my father
For his advice, nor thought I had one. She
Is daughter to this famous Duke of Milan,
Of whom so often I have heard renown.
But never saw before ; of whom I have
Received a second life ; and second father
This lady makes him to me.
Alonso. I am hers :
But, O, how oddly will it sound that I
Must ask my child forgiveness !
Prospero. There, sir, stop:
Let us not burthen our remembrances with
A heaviness that's gone. 99
