THE TEMPEST
Which, but three glasses since, we gave out split,—
Is tight and yare and bravely rigg’d as when
We first put out to sea.

[Aside to Prospero.] Sir, all this service
Have I done since I went.
Have I done since I went.
Prospero.
Have I done since I went. [Aside to Ariel.] My tricksy spirit!
Alonso.
These are not natural events; they strengthen
From strange to stranger. Say, how came you hither?

Boatswain.
If I did think, sir, I were well awake,
I 'ld strive to tel! you. We were dead of sleep,
And—how we know not—all clapp’d under hatches;
Where but even now with strange and several noises
Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains,
And more diversity of sounds, all horrible,
We were awaked; straightway, at liberty;
Where we, in all her trim, freshly beheld
Our royal, good and gallant ship, our master
Capering to eye her; on a trice, so please you,
Even in a dream, were we divided from them
And were brought moping hither
I 'ld strive to tel! you. We were dead of sleep,
And—how we know not—all clapp’d under hatches;
Where but even now with strange and several noises
Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains,
And more diversity of sounds, all horrible,
We were awaked; straightway, at liberty;
Where we, in all her trim, freshly beheld
Our royal, good and gallant ship, our master
Capering to eye her; on a trice, so please you,
Even in a dream, were we divided from them
And were brought moping hither
Ariel.
[Aside to Prospero.] Was’t well done?
Prospero.
[Aside to Ariel.] Bravely, my diligence. Thou shalt be free.
