THE TEMPEST
Alonso.
Hence, and bestow your luggage where you found it.
Sebastian.
Or stole it, rather. [Exeunt Caliban, Stephano, and Trinculo.
Prospero.
Sir, I invite your highness and your train
To my poor cell, where you shall take your rest
For this one night; which, part of it, I ‘ll waste
With such discourse as, I not doubt, shall make it
Go quick away; the story of my life
And the particular accidents gone by
Since I came to this isle: and in the morn
I ‘ll bring you to your ship and so to Naples,
Where I have hope to see the nuptial
Of these our dear-beloved solemnized;
And thence retire me to my Milan, where
Every third thought shall be my grave.

Alonso.
Every third thought shall be my grave. I long
To hear the story of your life, which must
Take the ear strangely.

Prospero.
Take the ear strangely.
I 'll deliver all;
And 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.
