No longer for my flatterer; he is drown’d
Whom thus we stray to find, and the sea mocks
Our frustrate search on land. Well, let him go.

Antonio.
Will we take throughly. [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.

Alonso.

Gonzalo.
Marvellous sweet music!

Alonso.
Give us kind keepers; heavens! What were these?
