THE TEMPEST


Gonzalo.

It is foul weather in us all, good sir,
When you are cloudy.

Sebastian.

When you are cloudy. Foul weather?

Antonio.

When you are cloudy. Foul weather? Very foul.

Gonzalo.

Had I plantation of this isle, my lord,

Antonio.

He ’ld sow ’t with nettle-seed.

Sebastian.

He ’ld sow ’t with nettle-seed. Or docks, or mallows.

Gonzalo.

And were the king on ’t, what would I do?

Sebastian.

’Scape being drunk for want of wine.

Gonzalo.

I’ the commonwealth I would by contraries
Execute all things; for no kind of traffic
Would I admit: no name of magistrate;
Letters should not be known; riches, poverty,
And use of service, none; contract, succession,
Bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard, none;
No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil;
