The Tempest, I. ii

Pro. [Aside.] The Duke of Milan,
And his more braver daughter could control thee,
If now 'twere fit to do 't.—At the first sight 437
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. 440

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

Fer. O! if a virgin, 444
And your affection not gone forth, I'll make you
The Queen of Naples.

Pro. Soft, sir: one word more—
[Aside.] They are both in either's powers: but this swift business
I must uneasy make, lest too light winning 448
Make the prize light—[To Fer.] One word more: I charge thee
That thou attend me. Thou dost here usurp
The name thou ow'st not; and hast put thyself
Upon this island as a spy, to win it 452
From me, the lord on 't.

Fer. No, as I am a man.

Mira. 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.

Pro. Follow me.— 456
Speak not you for him; he's a traitor—Come;

436 control: confute
440 done . . . wrong: erred in your account of yourself
