r this.

_Fer._ Most sure, the goddess
On whom these airs attend! Vouchsafe my prayer
May know if you remain upon this island;
And that you will some good instruction give
How I may bear me here: my prime request, 425
Which I do last pronounce, is, O you wonder!
If you be maid or no?

_Mir._ No wonder, sir;
But certainly a maid.

_Fer._ My language! heavens!
I am the best of them that speak this speech,
Were I but where 'tis spoken.

_Pros._ How? the best? 430
What wert thou, if the King of Naples heard thee?

_Fer._ A single thing, as I am now, that wonders
To hear thee speak of Naples. He does hear me;
And that he does I weep: myself am Naples,
Who with mine eyes, never since at ebb, beheld 435
The king my father wreck'd.

_Mir._ Alack, for mercy!

_Fer._ Yes, faith, and all his lords; the Duke of Milan
And his brave son being twain.

_Pros._ [_Aside_] The Duke of Milan
And his more braver daughter could control thee,
If now 'twere fit to do't. At the first sight 440
They have changed eyes. Delicate Ariel,
I'll set thee free for this. [_To Fer._] A word, good sir;
I fear you have done yourself some wrong: a word.

_Mir._ Why speaks my father so ungently? This
Is the third man that e'er I saw; the first 445
That e'er I sigh'd for: pity move my father
To be inclined my way!

_Fer._ O, if a virgin,
And your affection not gone forth, I'll make you
The queen of Naples.

_Pros._ Soft, sir! one word more.
[_Aside_] They are both in either's powers:
but this swift business 450
I must uneasy make, lest too light winning
Make the prize light. [_To Fer._] One word more; I charge thee
That thou attend me: thou dost here usurp
The name thou owest not; and hast put thyself
Upon this island as a spy, to win it 455
From me, the lord on't.

_Fer._ No, as I am a man.

_Mir._ There's nothing ill can dwell in such a temple:
If the ill spirit have so fair a house,
Good things will strive to dwell with't.

_Pros._ Follow me.
Speak not you for him; he's a traitor. Come; 460
I'll manacle thy neck and feet together:
Sea-water shalt thou dr
