ALONSO I
long
To hear the story of your life, which must
Take the ear strangely.
|
ALONSO I’m dying to hear your life story, which must be a
strange tale.
|
|
PROSPERO I’ll
deliver all,
330And promise you calm seas, auspicious gales,
And sail so expeditious that shall catch
Your royal fleet far
off.—(aside
to
ARIEL) My Ariel, chick,
That is thy charge. Then to the elements
Be free, and fare thou well!—Please you, draw
near.

PROSPERO I’ll tell you everything, and I promise to give you
calm seas and favorable winds for your trip. You’ll sail
so fast that you’ll catch up with the royal
navy.—(speaking so that
only
ARIEL can hear) My Ariel, baby, that
job’s for you. After that you’ll be free as
the air. Farewell!—Please, all the rest of you, come
closer.
