THE TEMPEST

Ariel.

Thou hast howl’d away twelve winters. Pardon, master;
I will be correspondent to command
And do my spiriting gently.

Prospero.

And do my spiriting gently. Do so, and after two days
I will discharge thee.

Ariel.

I will discharge thee. That ’s my noble master!
What shall I do? say what; what shall I do?

Prospero.

Go make thyself like a nymph o’ the sea: be subject
To no sight but thine and mine, invisible
To every eyeball else. Go take this shape
And hither come in ’t: go, hence with diligence![Exit Ariel.
Awake, dear heart, awake! thou hast slept well;
Awake!

Miranda.

Awake! The strangeness of your story put
Heaviness in me.

Prospero.

Heaviness in me. Shake it off. Come on;
We ’ll visit Caliban my slave, who never
Yields us kind answer.

Miranda.

Yields us kind answer. ’Tis a villain, sir,
I do not love to look on.
