man!

_Pros._ Now I arise:[378-50]
Sit still, and hear the last of our sea-sorrow.
Here in this island we arrived; and here
Have I, thy schoolmaster, made thee more profit[378-51]
Than other princesses can, that have more time
For vainer hours, and tutors not so careful.

_Mira._ Heavens thank you for't! And now, I pray you, sir,--
For still 'tis beating in my mind,--your reason
For raising this sea-storm?

_Pros._ Know thus far forth:
By accident most strange, bountiful Fortune--
Now my dear lady--hath mine enemies
Brought to this shore; and by my prescience
I find my zenith[379-52] doth depend upon
A most auspicious star, whose influence
If now I court not, but omit, my fortunes
Will ever after droop.[379-53] Here cease more questions:
Thou art inclined to sleep; 'tis a good dulness,
And give it way: I know thou canst not choose.[379-54]
[_MIRANDA sleeps._
Come away, servant, come! I'm ready now:
Approach, my Ariel; come!

_Enter ARIEL._

_Ari._ All hail, great master! grave sir, hail! I come
To answer thy best pleasure; be't to fly,
To swim, to dive into the fire, to ride
On the curl'd clouds: to thy strong bidding task
Ariel and all his quality.[379-55]

_Pros._ Hast thou, spirit,
Perform'd to point[379-56] the tempest that I bade thee?

_Ari._ To every article.
I boarded the King's ship; now on the beak,[379-57]
Now in the waist,[380-58] the deck, in every cabin,
I flamed amazement: sometime I'd divide,
And burn in many places; on the top-mast,
The yards, and bowsprit, would I flame distinctly,[380-59]
Then meet and join. Jove's lightnings, the precursors
O' the dreadful thunder-claps, more momentary[380-60]
And sight-outrunning were not: the fire, and cracks
Of sulphurous roaring, the most mighty Neptune
Seem'd to besiege, and make his bold waves tremble.
Yea, his dread trident shake.

_Pros._ My brave spirit!
Who was so firm, so constant, that this coil[380-61]
Would not infect his reason?

_Ari._ Not a soul
But felt a fever of the mad,[380-62] and play'd
Some tricks of desperation. All but mariners
Plunged in the foaming brine, and quit the vessel.
Then all a-f
