Why did'st thou not prevent at least foretell This fatal action then Ariel Pardon great Sir I meant to do it but I was forbidden By the ill Genius of Hippolito Who came and threatn'd me if I disclos'd it To bind me in the bottom of the Sea Far from the light some Regions of the Air My native fields above a hundred years Prosp. I 'le chain thee in the North for thy neglect Within the burning Bowels of Mount Heila I 'le sindge thy airy wings with sulph'rous flames And choak thy tender nostrils with blew smoak At ev'ry Hick-up of the belching Mountain Thou shalt be lifted up to taste fresh Air And then fall down agen Ariel Pardon dread Lord.

O Heavens what words are those I heard Yet cannot see who spoke 'em sure the Woman Whom I lov'd was like this some aiery Vision Prosp. No Murd'rer she 's like thee of mortal mould But much too pure to mix with thy black Crimes Yet she had faults and must be punish'd for ' em Miranda and Dorinda where are ye The will of Heaven's accomplish'd I have Now no more to fear and nothing left to hope Now you may enter Enter Miranda and Dorinda Mir. My Love is it permitted me to see you once again Prosp. You come to look your last I will For ever take him from your Eyes But on my blessing speak not nor approach him Dor.

My Father O sinister happiness Is it Decreed I should recover you alive just in that Fatal hour when this brave Youth is lost in Death And by my hand Ant. Heaven what new wonder 's this Gonz. This Isle is full of nothing else Alonz. I thought to dye and in the walks above Wand'ring by Star-light to have sought thee out But now I should have gone to Heaven in vain Whilst thou art here behind Ferd. You must indeed in vain have gone thither To look for me Those who are stain'd with such black Crimes as mine come seldom there Prosp. And those who are like him all foul with guilt More seldom upward go You stare upon me as You n'ere had seen me have fifteen years So lost me to your knowledge that you retain No memory of Prospero Gonz. The good old Duke of Millain Prosp. I wonder less that thou Antonio know'st me not Because thou did'st long since forget I was thy Brother Else I never had bin here Ant. Shame choaks my words Alonz. And wonder mine Prosp.

What do you mean Prosp. To execute Heav'ns Laws Here I am plac'd by Heav'n here I am Prince Though you have dispossess'd me of my Millain Blood calls for blood your Ferdinand shall dye And I in bitterness have sent for you To have the sudden joy of seeing him alive And then the greater grief to see him dye Alonz. And think'st thou I or these will tamely stand To view the execution Lays hand upon his Sword Ferd. Hold dear Father I cannot suffer you T' attempt against his life who gave her being Whom I love Prosp. Nay then appear my Guards I thought no more to Use their aids I

Then Spirit fetch me here my salvage Slave Ariel My Lord it does not need Prosp. Art thou then prone to mischief wilt thou be thy self the Executioner Ariel Think better of thy aiery Minister who For thy fake unbid this night has flown O're almost all the habitable World Prosp. But to what purpose was all thy diligence Ariel When I was chidden by my mighty Lord for my Neglect of young Hippolito I went to view His body and soon found his soul was but retir'd Not sally'd out and frighted lay at skulk in Th'inmost corner of his scarce-beating heart Prosp. Is he not dead Ariel Hear me my Lord I prun'd my wings and fitted for a journey from the next Isles of our Hesperides I gather'd Moly first thence shot my self to Palestine and watch'd the trickling Balm which caught I glided to the British Isles and there he purple Panacea found Prosp. All this to night Ariel All this my Lord I did Nor was Hippolito's good Angel wanting who Climbing up the circle of the Moon While I below got Simples for the Cure went to Each Planet which o're-rul'd those Herbs And drew it's virtue to increase their pow'r Long e're this hour had I been back again But that a Storm took me returning back And flag'd my tender Wings Prosp. Thou shalt have rest my spirit But hast thou search'd the wound Ariel My Lord I have and 't was in time I did it for The soul stood almost at life's door all bare And naked shivering like Boys upon a Rivers Bank and loth to tempt the cold air but I took Her and stop'd her in and pour'd into his mouth The healing juice of vulnerary Herbs Prosp. Thou art my faithful servant Ariel His only danger was his loss of blood but now He 's wak'd my Lord and just this hour He must be dress'd again as I have done it Anoint the Sword which pierc'd him with this Weapon-Salve and wrap it close from air till I have time to visit him again Prosp. It shall be done be it your task Miranda because your Sister is not present here while I go visit your Dear Ferdinand from whom I will a while conceal This news that it may be more welcome Mir. I obey you and with a double duty Sir for now You twice have given me life Prosp. My Ariel follow me Exeunt severally Hippolito discovered on a Couch Dorinda by him Dor. How do you find your self Hip. I 'm somewhat cold can you not draw me nearer To the Sun I am too weak to walk Dor. My Love I 'le try She draws the chair nearer the Audience I thought you never would have walk'd agen They told me you were gone away to Heaven Have you bin there Hip. I know not where I was Dor. I will not leave you till you promise me you Will not dye agen Hip. Indeed I will not Dor. You must not go to Heav'n unless we go together For I 've heard my Father say that we must strive To be each others Guide the way to it will else Be difficult especially to those who are so young But I much wonder what it is to dye Hip. Sure 't is to dream a kind of breathless sleep When once the Soul 's gone out Dor. What is the Soul Hip. A small blew thing that runs about within us Dor. Then I have seen it in a frosty morning run Smoaking from my mouth Hip. But if my soul had gone it should have walk'd upon A Cloud just over you and peep'd and thence I would have Call'd you Dor. But I should not have heard you 't is so far Hip. Why then I would have rain'd and snow'd upon you And thrown down Hail-stones gently till I hit you And made you look at least But dear Dorinda What is become of him who fought with me Dor. O I can tell you joyful news of him My Father means to make him dye to day For what he did to you Hip. That must not be my dear Dorinda go and beg your Father he may not dye it was my fault he hurt me I urg'd him to it first Dor. But if he live he 'll never leave killing you Hip. O no! I just remember when I fell asleep I heard Him calling me a great way off and crying over me as You wou'd do besides we have no cause of quarrel now Dor. Pray how began your difference first Hip. I fought with him for all the Women in the World Dor. That hurt you had was justly sent from Heaven For wishing to have any more but me Hip. Indeed I think it was but I repent it the fault Was only in my blood for now 't is gone I find I do not love so many Dor. In confidence of this I 'le beg my Father that he May live I 'm glad the naughty blood that made You love so many is gone out Hip. My Dear go quickly lest you come too late Exit Dor. Enter Miranda at the other door with Hippolito's Sword wrapt up Hip. Who 's this who looks so fair and beautiful as Nothing but Dorinda can surpass her O! I believe it is that Angel Woman Whom she calls Sister Mir. Sir I am sent hither to dress your wound How do you find your strength Hip. Fair Creature I am faint with loss of blood Mir. I 'm sorry for 't Hip. Indeed and so am I for if I had that blood â— then Should find a great delight in loving you Mir. But Sir I am anothers and your love is given Already to my Sister Hip. Yet I find that if you please I can love fâ—ll a little Mir. I cannot be unconstant nor shou'd you Hip. O my wound pains me Mir. I am come to ease you She unwraps the Sword Hip. Alas I feel the cold air come to me My wound shoots worse than ever She wipes and anoints the Sword Mir. Does it still grieve you Hip. Now methinks there 's something laid just upon it Mir. Do you find no ease Hip. Yes yes upon the sudden all the pain Is leaving me sweet Heaven how I am eas'd Enter Ferdinand and Dorinda to them Ferd. to Dor. Madam I must confess my life is yours I owe it to your generosity Dor. I am o'rejoy'd my Father lets you live and proud Of my good fortune that he gave your life to me Mir. How gave his life to her Hip. Alas I think she said so and he said he ow'd it To her generosity Ferd. But is not that your Sister with Hippolito Dor. So kind already Ferd. I came to welcome life and I have met the Cruellest of deaths Hip. My dear Dorinda with another man Dor. Sister what bus'ness have you here
but those which Man was Lord of Why then should I fear Prosp. But here are creatures which I nam'd not to thee Who share man's soveraignty by Nature's Laws And oft depose him from it Hip. What are those Creatures Sir Prosp. Those dangerous enemies of men call'd women Hip. Women I never heard of them before But have I Enemies within this Isle and do you Keep me from them do you think that I want Courage to encounter ' em Prosp. No courage can resist ' em Hip. How then have you Sir Liv'd so long unharm'd among them Prosp. O they despise old age and spare it for that reason It is below their conquest their fury falls Alone upon the young Hip. Why then the fury of the young should fall on them again Pray turn me loose upon 'em but good Sir What are women like Prosp. Imagine something between young men and Angels Fatally beauteous and have killing Eyes Their voices charm beyond the Nightingales They are all enchantment those who once behold 'em Are made their slaves for ever Hip. Then I will wink and fight with ' em Prosp. 'T is but in vain for when your eyes are shut They through the lids will shine and pierce your soul Absent they will be present to you They 'l haunt you in your very sleep Hip. Then I 'le revenge it on 'em when I wake Prosp. You are without all possibility of revenge They are so beautiful that you can ne're attempt Nor wish to hurt them Hip. Are they so beautiful Prosp. Calm sleep is not so soft nor Winter Suns Nor Summer Shades so pleasant Hip. Can they be fairer than the Plumes of Swans Or more delightful than the Peacocks Feathers Or than the gloss upon the necks of Doves Or have more various beauty than the Rain-bow These I have seen and without danger wondred at Prosp. All these are far below 'em Nature made Nothing but Woman dangerous and fair Therefore if you should chance to see 'em Avoid 'em streight I charge you Hip. Well since you say they are so dangerous I 'le so far shun 'em as I may with safety of the Unblemish'd honour which you taught me But let 'em not provoke me for I 'm sure I shall Not then forbear them Prosp. Go in and read the Book I gave you last Tomorrow I may bring you better news Hip. I shall obey you Sir Exit Hippolito Prosp. So so I hope this lesson has secur'd him For I have been constrain'd to change his Lodging From yonder Rock where first I bred him up And here have brought him home to my own Cell Because the Shipwrack happen'd near his Mansion I hope he will not stir beyond his limits For hither to he hath been all obedience The Planets seem to smile on my designs And yet there is one sullen cloud behind I would it were disperst Enter Miranda and Dorinda How my daughters I thought I had instructed Them enough Children retire Why do you walk this way Mir. It is within our bounds Sir Prosp. But both take heed that path is very dangerous Remember what I told you Dor. Is the man that way Sir Prosp. All that you can imagine is ill there The curled Lyon and the rugged Bear Are not so dreadful as that man Mir. Oh me why stay we here then Dor. I 'le keep far enough from his Den I warrant him Mir. But you have told me Sir you are a man And yet you are not dreadful Prosp. I child but I am a tame man old men are tame By Nature but all the danger lies in a wild Young man Dor. Do they run wild about the Woods Prosp. No they are wild within Doors in Chambers And in Closets Dor. But Father I would stroak 'em and make 'em gentle Then sure they would not hurt me Prosp. You must not trust them Child no woman can come Neer 'em but she feels a pain full nine Months Well I must in for new affairs require my Presence be you Miranda your Sister's Guardian Exit Prospero Dor. Come Sister shall we walk the other way The man will catch us else we have but two legs And he perhaps has four Mir. Well Sister though he have yet look about you And we shall spy him e're he comes too near us Dor. Come back that way is towards his Den. Mir. Let me alone I 'le venture first for sure he can Devour but one of us at once Dor. How dare you venture Mir. We 'll find him sitting like a Hare in 's Form And he shall not see us Dor. I but you know my Father charg'd us both Mir. But who shall tell him on 't we 'll keep each Others Counsel Dor. I dare not for the world Mir. But how shall we hereafter shun him if we do not Know him first Dor. Nay I confess I would fain see him too I find it in my Nature because my Father has forbidden me Mir. I there 's it Sister if he had said nothing I had been quiet Go softly and if you see him first be quick and becken me away Dor. Well if he does catch me I 'le humble my self to him And ask him pardon as I do my Father When I have done a fault Mir. And if I can but scape with life I had rather be in pain nine Months as my Father threatn'd than lose my longing Exeunt The Scene changes and discovers Hippolito in a Cave walking his face from the Audience Hip. Prospero has often said that Nature makes Nothing in vain why then are women made Are they to suck the poyson of the Earth As gaudy colour'd Serpents are I 'le ask that Question when next I see him here Enter Miranda and Dorinda peeping Dor. O Sister there it is it walks about like one of us Mir. I just so and has legs as we have too Hip. It strangely puzzles me yet 't is most likely Women are somewhat between men and spirits Dor. Heark it talks sure this is not it my Father meant For this is just like one of us methinks I am not half So much afraid on 't as I was see now it turns this way Mir. Heaven what a goodly thing it is Dor. I 'le go nearer it Mir. O no 't is dangerous Sister I 'le go to it I would not for the world that you should venture My Father charg'd me to secure you from it Dor. I warrant you this is a tame man dear Sister He 'll not hurt me I see it by his looks Mir. Indeed he will but go back and he shall eat me first Fye are you not asham'd to be so much inquisitive Dor. You chide me for 't and wou'd give your self Mir. Come back or I will tell my Father Observe how he begins to stare already I 'le meet the danger first and then call you Dor. Nay Sister you shall never vanquish me in kindness I 'le venture you no more than you will me Prosp. within Miranda Child where are
sighs were poysonous they infected you You say they griev'd you to the heart Dor. 'T is true but yet his looks and words were gentle Prosp. These are the Day-dreams of a maid in love But still I fear the worst Dor. O fear not him Sir I know he will not hurt you for my sake I 'le undertake to tye him to a hair And lead him hither as my Pris'ner to you Prosp. Take heed Dorinda you may be deceiv'd This Creature is of such a Salvage race That no mild usage can reclaim his wildness But like a Lyon's whelp bred up by hand When least you look for 't Nature will present The Image of his Fathers bloody Paws Wherewith he purvey'd for his couching Queen And he will leap into his native fury Dor. He cannot change from what I left him Sir Prosp. You speak of him with too much passion tell me And on your duty tell me true Dorinda What past betwixt you and that horrid creature Dor. How horrid Sir if any else but you should call it so indeed I should be angry Prosp. Go too you are a foolish Girl but answer to what I ask what thought you when you saw it Dor. At first it star'd upon me and seem'd wild And then I trembled yet it look'd so lovely that when I would have fled away my feet seem'd fasten'd to the ground Then it drew near and with amazement askt To touch my hand which as a ransom for my life I gave but when he had it with a furious gripe He put it to his mouth so eagerly I was afraid he Would have swallow'd it Prosp. Well what was his behaviour afterwards Dor. He on a sudden grew so tame and gentle That he became more kind to me than you are Then Sir I grew I know not how and touching his hand Agen my heart did beat so strong as I lackt breath To answer what he ask'd Prosp. You have been too fond and I should chide you for it Dor. Then send me to that creature to be punisht Prosp. Poor Child thy passion like a lazy Ague Has seiz'd thy blood instead of striving thou humour'st And feed'st thy languishing disease thou fight'st The Battels of thy Enemy and 't is one part of what I threatn'd thee not to perceive thy danger Dor. Danger Sir If he would hurt me yet he knows not how He hath no Claws nor Teeth nor Horns to hurt me But looks about him like a Callow-bird Just straggl'd from the Nest pray trust me Sir To go to him agen Prosp. Since you will venture I charge you bear your self reserv'dly to him Let him not dare to touch your naked hand But keep at distance from him Dor. This is hard Prosp. It is the way to make him love you more He will despise you if you grow too kind Dor. I 'le struggle with my heart to follow this But if I lose him by it will you promise To bring him back agen Prosp. Fear not Dorinda But use him ill and he 'l be yours for ever Dor. I hope you have not couzen'd me agen Exit Dorinda Prosp. Now my designs are gathering to a head My spirits are obedient to my charms What Ariel my servant Ariel where art thou Enter Ariel Ariel What wou'd my potent Master here I am Prosp. Thou and thy meaner fellows your last service Did worthily perform and I must use you in such another Work how goes the day Ariel On the fourth my Lord and on the sixth you said our work should cease Prosp. And so it shall And thou shalt have the open air at freedom Ariel Thanks my great Lord. Prosp. But tell me first my spirit How fares the Duke my Brother and their followers Ariel Confin'd together as you gave me order In the Lime-Grove which weather-fends your Cell Within that Circuit up and down they wander But cannot stir one step beyond their compass Prosp. How do they bear their sorrows Ariel The two Dukes appear like men distracted their Attendants brim-full of sorrow mourning over 'em But chiefly he you term'd the good Gonzalo His tears run down his Beard like Winter-drops From Eaves of Reeds your Vision did so work 'em That if you now beheld 'em your affections Would become tender Prosp. Dost thou think so Spirit Ariel Mine would Sir were I humane Prosp. And mine shall Hast thou who art but air a touch a feeling of their Afflictions and shall not I a man like them one Who as sharply relish passions as they be kindlier Mov'd than thou art though they have pierc'd Me to the quick with injuries yet with my nobler Reason 'gainst my fury I will take part The rarer action is in virtue than in vengeance Go my Ariel refresh with needful food their Famish'd bodies With shows and cheerful Musick comfort ' em Ariel Presently Master Prosp. With a twinckle Ariel Ariel Before you can say come and go And breath twice and cry so so Each spirit tripping on his toe Shall bring 'em meat with mop and moe Do you love me Master I or no Prosp. Dearly my dainty Ariel but stay spirit What is become of my Slave Caliban And Sycorax his Sister Ariel Potent Sir They have cast off your service and revolted To the wrack'd Mariners who have already Parcell'd your Island into Governments Prosp. No matter I have now no need of 'em But spirit now I stay thee on the Wing Haste to perform what I have given in charge But see they keep within the bounds I set ' em Ariel I 'le keep 'em in with Walls of Adamant Invisible as air to mortal Eyes But yet unpassable Prosp.

He 's murder'd by the man who lov'd your Sister Now both of you may see what 't is to break A Father's precept you would needs see men and by That sight are made for ever wretched Hippolito is dead and Ferdinand must dye For murdering him Mir.

Sister I say agen 't was long of you That all this mischief happen'd Dor. Blame not me for your own fault your Curiosity brought me to see the man Mir. You safely might have seen him and retir'd but You wou'd needs go near him and converse you may Remember my Father call'd me thence and I call'd you Dor. That was your envy Sister not your love You call'd me thence because you could not be Alone with him your self but I am sure my Man had never gone to Heaven so soon but That yours made him go Crying Mir. Sister I could not wish that either of 'em shou'd Go to Heaven without us but it was his fortune And you must be satisfi'd Dor. I 'le not be satisfi'd My Father says he 'l make Your man as cold as mine is now and when he Is made cold my Father will not let you strive To make him warm agen Mir. In spight of you mine never shall be cold Dor. I 'm sure 't was he that made me miserable And I will be reveng'd Perhaps you think 't is Nothing to lose a man Mir. Yes but there is some difference betwixt My Ferdinand and your Hippolito Dor. I there 's your judgment Your's is the oldest Man I ever saw except it were my Father Mir. Sister no more It is not comely in a Daughter When she says her Father 's old Dor. But why do I stay here whilst my cold Love Perhaps may want me I 'le pray my Father to make yours cold too Mir. Sister I 'e never sleep with you agen Dor. I 'le never more meet in a Bed with you But lodge on the bare ground and watch my Love Mir.

Enter Prospero and Miranda Prosp. YOu beg in vain I cannot pardon him He has offended Heaven Mir. Then let Heaven punish him Prosp. It will by me Mir. Grant him at least some respite for my sake Prosp. I by deferring Justice should incense the Deity Against my self and you Mir. Yet I have heard you say The Powers above are slow In punishing and shou'd not you resemble them Prosp. The Powers above may pardon or reprieve As Sovereign Princes may dispense with Laws Which we as Officers must execute Our Acts of grace To Criminals are Treason to Heavens prerogative Mir. Do you condemn him for shedding blood Prosp. Why do you ask that question you know I do Mir. Then you must be condemn'd for shedding his And he who condemns you must dye for shedding Yours and that 's the way at last to leave none living Prosp. The Argument is weak but I want time To let you see your errours retire and if you love him Pray for him He 's going Mir. O stay Sir I have yet more Arguments Prosp. But none of any weight Mir. Have you not said you are his Judge Prosp. 'T is true I am what then Mir. And can you be his Executioner If that be so then all men may declare their Enemies in fault and Pow'r without the Sword Of Justice will presume to punish what e're
