Receiv'd a second life; and second father
This lady makes him to me.
Alon. I am hers: 196
But O! how oddly will it sound that I
Must ask my child forgiveness!
Pro. There, sir, stop:
Let us not burden our remembrances
With a heaviness that's gone.
Gon. I have inly wept, 200
Or should have spoke ere this. Look down, you gods,
And on this couple drop a blessed crown;
For it is you that have chalk'd forth the way
Which brought us hither!
Alon. I say, Amen, Gonzalo! 204
Gon. Was Milan thrust from Milan, that his issue
Should become kings of Naples? O, rejoice
Beyond a common joy, and set it down
With gold on lasting pillars. In one voyage 208
Did Claribel her husband find at Tunis,
And Ferdinand, her brother, found a wife
Where he himself was lost; Prospero his dukedom
In a poor isle; and all of us ourselves, 212
When no man was his own.
Alon. [To Fer. and Mira.] Give me your hands:
Let grief and sorrow still embrace his heart
That doth not wish you joy!
Gon. Be it so: Amen!
Enter Ariel, with the Master and Boatswain amazedly following.
O look, sir! look, sir! here is more of us. 216
I prophesied, if a gallows were on land,
This fellow could not drown.—Now, blasphemy,
213 was his own: was in his right senses
