THE TEMPEST
Prospero.
His arms in this sad knot. Of the king’s ship
The mariners say how thou hast disposed
And all the rest o’ the fleet.

And all the rest o’ the fleet.
Ariel.
And all the rest o’ the fleet. Safely in harbour
Is the king’s ship; in the deep nook, where once
Thou call’dst me up at midnight to fetch dew
From the still-vex’d Bermoothes, there she ’s hid:
The mariners all under hatches stow’d;
Who, with a charm join’d to their suffer’d labour,
I have left asleep: and for the rest o’ the fleet
Which I dispersed, they all have met again
And are upon the Mediterranean flote,
Bound sadly home for Naples,
Supposing that they saw the king’s ship wreck’d
And his great person perish.

And his great person perish. Ariel, thy charge
Exactly is perform’d: but there ’s more work.
What is the time o’ the day?

Ariel.
What is the time o’ the day? Past the mid season.
Prospero.
At least two glasses. The time ’twixt six and now
Must by us both be spent most preciously.

Ariel.
Is there more toil? Since thou dost give me pains,
