The rude sea grew civil at her song,
And certain stars shot madly from their spheres
To hear the sea-maid's music.

Belarius

I am too blunt and saucy: here's my knee:
Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons;
Then spare not the old father. Mighty sir,
These two young gentlemen, that call me father
And think they are my sons, are none of mine;
They are the issue of your loins, my liege,
And blood of your begetting.
