Seem to besiege and make his bold waves tremble,
Yea, his dread trident shake.

A

This island’s mine, by Sycorax my mother,
Which thou takest from me. When thou camest first,
Thou strokedst me and madest much of me, wouldst give me
Water with berries in’t, and teach me how
To name the bigger light, and how the less,
That burn by day and night: and then I loved thee
And show’d thee all the qualities o’ the isle,
The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile:
Cursed be I that did so!

To the most of men this is a Caliban
And they to him are angels.

And women too, but innocent and pure;
No sovereignty;--
SEBASTIAN
Yet he would be king on't.
61
Q

All things in common….feed my innocent people

A

All things in common nature should produce
Without sweat or endeavour: treason, felony,

Of its own kind, all foison, all abundance,
To feed my innocent people.

He’s but a sot, as I am, nor hath not
One spirit to command: they all do hate him
As rootedly as I.

78
Q

Be not afeard/…dream again

Whole speech

A

Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.

That deep and dreadful organ pipe…there lie mudded

Alonso, like Prospero?

I’ll seek him deeper than e’er plummet sounded
And with him there lie mudded.

81
Q

If I have too austerely…ratify this my rich gift

A 
If I have too austerely punish'd you,
Your compensation makes amends, for I
Have given you here a third of mine own life,
...
I ratify this my rich gift.
82
Q

As my gift thine own acquisition…that you shall hate it both

A

as my gift and thine own acquisition
Worthily purchased take my daughter: but
If thou dost break her virgin-knot before
All sanctimonious ceremonies may
With full and holy rite be minister’d,
No sweet aspersion shall the heavens let fall
To make this contract grow: but barren hate,
Sour-eyed disdain and discord shall bestrew
The union of your bed with weeds so loathly
That you shall hate it both:

83
Q

Do you love me?…dost hear me call

A

Do you love me, master? no?
PROSPERO
Dearly my delicate Ariel. Do not approach
Till thou dost hear me call.

Q

These our actors….is rounded with a sleep

A

These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Ye all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

87
Q

Thy thoughts…thy pleasure?

A

Thy thoughts I cleave to. What’s thy pleasure?

88
Q

89
Q

I have bedimmed…by my so potent art

A

I have bedimm’d
The noontide sun, call’d forth the mutinous winds,
And ‘twixt the green sea and the azured vault
Set roaring war: to the dread rattling thunder
Have I given fire and rifted Jove’s stout oak
With his own bolt; the strong-based promontory
Have I made shake and by the spurs pluck’d up
The pine and cedar: graves at my command
Have waked their sleepers, oped, and let ‘em forth
By my so potent art

90
Q

But this rough magic…drown my book

A 
But this rough magic
I here abjure, and, when I have required
Some heavenly music, which even now I do,
To work mine end upon their senses that
This airy charm is for, I'll break my staff,
Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
And deeper than did ever plummet sound
I'll drown my book.
