Act I

Prospero
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. A word, good sir;
I fear you have done yourself some wrong: a word.
Aside.; To Ferdinand .
Miranda
Why speaks my father so ungently? This
Is the third man that e’er I saw, the first
That e’er I sigh’d for: pity move my father
To be inclined my way!
Ferdinand
O, if a virgin,
And your affection not gone forth, I’ll make you
The queen of Naples.
Prospero
Soft, sir! one word more.
They are both in either’s powers; but this swift business
I must uneasy make, lest too light winning
Make the prize light. 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.
Aside.; To Ferdinand .
Ferdinand
No, as I am a man.
