Tempest
[I, 2]

Caliban

527

No, pray thee.
[Aside]
I must obey: his art is of such power,
It would control my dam's god, Setebos,
and make a vassal of him.

2

Tempest
[I, 2]

Prospero

586

[Aside] It goes on, I see,
As my soul prompts it. Spirit, fine spirit! I'll free thee
Within two days for this.

Tempest
[I, 2]

Prospero

611

[Aside]. The Duke of Milan
And his more braver daughter could control thee,
If now 'twere fit to do't. At the first sight
They have changed eyes. Delicate Ariel,
I'll set thee free for this.
[To FERDINAND]
A word, good sir;
I fear you have done yourself some wrong: a word.

4

Tempest
[I, 2]

Prospero

626

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
Make the prize light.
[To FERDINAND]
One word more; I charge thee
That thou attend me: thou dost here usurp
The name thou owest not; and hast put thyself
Upon this island as a spy, to win it
From me, the lord on't.

5

Tempest
[I, 2]

Prospero

686

[Aside] It works.
[To FERDINAND]
Come on.
Thou hast done well, fine Ariel!
[To FERDINAND]
Follow me.
[To ARIEL]
Hark what thou else shalt do me.

Tempest
[II, 1]

Francisco

814

Sir, he may live:
I saw him beat the surges under him,
And ride upon their backs; he trod the water,
Whose enmity he flung aside, and breasted
The surge most swoln that met him; his bold head
'Bove the contentious waves he kept, and oar'd
Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke
To the shore, that o'er his wave-worn basis bow'd,
As stooping to relieve him: I not doubt
He came alive to land.

Tempest
[II, 2]

Caliban

1203

[Aside] These be fine things, an if they be
not sprites.
That's a brave god and bears celestial liquor.
I will kneel to him.

Tempest
[III, 3]

Antonio

1565

[Aside to SEBASTIAN] I am right glad that he's so
out of hope.
Do not, for one repulse, forego the purpose
That you resolved to effect.

9

Tempest
[III, 3]

Sebastian

1569

[Aside to ANTONIO] The next advantage
Will we take throughly.

10

Tempest
[III, 3]

Antonio

1571

[Aside to SEBASTIAN] Let it be to-night;
For, now they are oppress'd with travel, they
Will not, nor cannot, use such vigilance
As when they are fresh.

11

Tempest
[III, 3]

Sebastian

1575

[Aside to ANTONIO] I say, to-night: no more.

12

Tempest
[III, 3]

Prospero

1602

[Aside] Honest lord,
Thou hast said well; for some of you there present
Are worse than devils.

13

Tempest
[III, 3]

Prospero

1609

[Aside]. Praise in departing.

14

Tempest
[IV, 1]

Prospero

1867

[Aside] I had forgot that foul conspiracy
Of the beast Caliban and his confederates
Against my life: the minute of their plot
Is almost come.
[To the Spirits]
Well done! avoid; no more!

15

Tempest
[V, 1]

Prospero

2159

You do yet taste
Some subtilties o' the isle, that will not let you
Believe things certain. Welcome, my friends all!
[Aside to SEBASTIAN and ANTONIO]
But you, my brace of lords, were I so minded,
I here could pluck his highness' frown upon you
And justify you traitors: at this time
I will tell no tales.

16

Tempest
[V, 1]

Sebastian

2167

[Aside] The devil speaks in him.

Tempest
[V, 1]

Ariel

2288

[Aside to PROSPERO] Sir, all this service
Have I done since I went.

18

Tempest
[V, 1]

Prospero

2290

[Aside to ARIEL] My tricksy spirit!

19

Tempest
[V, 1]

Ariel

2305

[Aside to PROSPERO] Was't well done?

20

Tempest
[V, 1]

Prospero

2306

[Aside to ARIEL] Bravely, my diligence. Thou shalt be free.
