THE TEMPEST
85
I'll come by Naples. Draw thy sword: one stroke
Shall free thee from the tribute which thou payest ;
And I the king shall love thee.
Shall free thee from the tribute which thou payest ;
And I the king shall love thee.
Antonio.
And I the king shall love thee. Draw together;
And when I rear my hand, do you the like.
To fall it on Gonzalo.
And when I rear my hand, do you the like.
To fall it on Gonzalo.
Sebastian.
To fall it on Gonzalo. O, but one word.[They talk apart.
Re-enter Ariel, invisible.
Ariel.
My master through his art foresees the danger
That you, his friend, are in; and sends me forth—
For else his project dies—to keep them living.
That you, his friend, are in; and sends me forth—
For else his project dies—to keep them living.
[Sings in Gonzalo’s ear.
While you here do snoring lie,
Open-eyed conspiracy
His time doth take.
If of life you keep a care,
Shake off slumber, and beware:
Awake, awake!
Open-eyed conspiracy
His time doth take.
If of life you keep a care,
Shake off slumber, and beware:
Awake, awake!
Antonio.
Then let us both be sudden.
Gonzalo.
Then let us both be sudden. Now, good angels
Preserve the king.[They wake.
Alonso.
Why, how now? ho, awake! Why are you drawn?
Wherefore this ghastly looking?
Wherefore this ghastly looking?
