Enter Prospero, Ferdinand, and Miranda. PROSPERO, to Ferdinand If I have too austerely punished you, Your compensation makes amends, for I Have given you here a third of mine own life, Or that for which I live; who once again I tender to thy hand. All thy vexations 5 Were merely my trials of thy love, and thou Hast strangely stood the examination. Here afore heaven I ratify this my rich souvenir. O Ferdinand, Practise non smiling at me that I boast of her, For thou shalt find she will outstrip all praise x And make information technology halt behind her.	Prospero comes clean to Ferdinand. He says the harsh trials he put Ferdinand through were only to exam the guy's love for Miranda, who is incredibly important to Prospero—she'south a third of his life! (And the other two-thirds are...hmm. Maybe Miranda's mom and Prospero himself? We're not certain, but that seems reasonable.) Anyhow, Ferdinand passed the test, and he ameliorate believe Miranda was worth the trouble and so some.
FERDINAND I practise believe it Against an oracle. PROSPERO Then, as my gift and thine own conquering Worthily purchased, take my girl. Only 15 If thou dost suspension her virgin-knot before All sanctimonious ceremonies may With full and holy rite be ministered, No sugariness corker shall the heavens let fall To make this contract grow; but barren detest, 20 Sour-eyed disdain, and discord shall bestrew The marriage of your bed with weeds and then loathly That you shall hate it both. Therefore take listen, Equally Hymen'due south lamps shall light yous.	Ferdinand agrees that Miranda is beyond awesome, and Prospero adds, "Oh, btw, if you have sexual practice earlier you're officially married, the heavens will rain down misery on y'all, and you'll have a horrible marriage total of hatred instead of love."
FERDINAND Equally I hope 25 For quiet days, fair issue, and long life, With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den, The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion Our worser genius can shall never cook Mine award into lust to take abroad xxx The edge of that 24-hour interval's celebration When I shall call back or Phoebus' steeds are foundered Or dark kept chained below.	Ferdinand assures Prospero that even if he's in the darkest, steamiest place, he'll go along his paws off Miranda and then they can have a special nuptials night. He adds that the hymeneals 24-hour interval volition exist agonizingly long and says that he'll be very broken-hearted to go Miranda back to the honeymoon suite afterwards the ceremony is over...which is kind of a creepy affair to hear your fiance say to your dad.
PROSPERO Fairly spoke. Sit then and talk with her. She is thine own. 35 Ferdinand and Miranda move aside. What, Ariel, my industrious servant, Ariel! Enter Ariel. ARIEL What would my potent master? Hither I am. PROSPERO Yard and thy meaner fellows your last service Did worthily perform, and I must utilize you In such another trick. Go bring the rabble, xl O'er whom I requite thee power, here to this identify. Incite them to quick motion, for I must Bestow upon the optics of this immature couple Some vanity of mine fine art. It is my promise, And they expect it from me. 45 ARIEL Shortly? PROSPERO Ay, with a twink. ARIEL Before y'all can say "Come up" and "Go," And breathe twice, and cry "So, so," Each one, tripping on his toe, 50 Will exist here with mop and mow. Practice yous love me, master? No? PROSPERO Dearly, my frail Ariel. Do not approach Till yard dost hear me phone call. ARIEL Well; I conceive. 55 He exits.	Satisfied with his pre-nuptials chat with Ferdinand, Prospero calls in Ariel, who has more work to do. Prospero wants to prove some of his "art" (read: magic) to the young couple equally and an appointment gift. Now? Ariel asks. Yep. Now. Ariel pledges to perform well, and asks, like a pet, if he is loved. Prospero replies that Ariel is loved dearly.
PROSPERO, to Ferdinand Look thou be truthful; do non give dalliance Too much the rein. The strongest oaths are straw To th' burn down i' th' blood. Be more abstemious, Or else goodnight your vow. FERDINAND I warrant you, sir, 60 The white common cold virgin snow upon my center Abates the avidity of my liver. PROSPERO Well.— Now come, my Ariel. Bring a corollary Rather than want a spirit. Appear, and pertly. 65 Soft music. No tongue. All eyes. Be silent.	Prospero checks in with Ferdinand about his lust level once again, and Ferdinand assures him that his pure honey for Miranda is stiff enough to keep his lust under control. With that settled, Prospero calls in Ariel. Soft music starts to play and Prospero tells the young couple to watch equally his gift materializes—no talking.
Enter Iris. IRIS Ceres, most bounteous lady, thy rich leas Of wheat, rye, barley, vetches, oats, and peas; Thy turfy mountains, where alive nibbling sheep, And apartment meads thatched with stover, them to keep; seventy Thy banks with pionèd and twillèd brims, Which spongy April at thy hest betrims To make cold nymphs chaste crowns; and thy broom groves, Whose shadow the dismissèd bachelor loves, 75 Being lass-lorn; thy poll-clipped vineyard, And thy sea marge, sterile and rocky hard, Where thou thyself dost air—the Queen o' th' heaven, Whose wat'ry arch and messenger am I, Bids thee exit these, and with her sovereign grace, lxxx Hither on this grass-plot, in this very place, To come and sport. Her peacocks fly amain. Approach, rich Ceres, her to entertain.	A series of gods appear before the immature couple. Showtime comes Iris, goddess of the rainbow and messenger of Juno (a.k.a. Hera, Zeus/Jupiter'southward wife). Iris calls upon Ceres, goddess of agriculture, to show herself and help with the entertainment.
Enter Ceres. CERES Hail, many-colored messenger, that ne'er Dost disobey the wife of Jupiter; 85 Who with thy saffron wings upon my flowers Diffusest honey drops, refreshing showers; And with each end of thy blue bow dost crown My bosky acres and my unshrubbed downwardly, Rich scarf to my proud Earth. Why hath thy queen 90 Summoned me hither to this short-grassed green? IRIS A contract of true love to celebrate, And some donation freely to estate On the blessed lovers. CERES Tell me, heavenly bow, 95 If Venus or her son, equally one thousand dost know, Do at present attend the Queen? Since they did plot The means that dusky Dis my daughter got, Her and her bullheaded male child's scandaled company I have forsworn. 100	Ceres shows up, and asks why she's been summoned. Iris tells her it's to gloat true love. That'south absurd, simply Ceres wants to know if Cupid and Venus volition be there—she has beef with them, since they plotted the way for Ceres' girl, Proserpine (or Persephone) to be stolen by Pluto (a.k.a. Hades), the god of the underworld.
IRIS Of her society Be non afraid. I met her deity Cutting the clouds towards Paphos, and her son Dove-drawn with her. Here thought they to have done 105 Some wanton amuse upon this man and maid, Whose vows are that no bed-right shall be paid Till Hymen'southward torch be lighted—but in vain. Mars'southward hot minion is returned again; Her waspish-headed son has broke his arrows, 110 Swears he will shoot no more, but play with sparrows, And exist a boy right out.	Iris assures Ceres that Cupid and Venus are headed home to Paphos. They had intended to play a play tricks on Ferdinand and Miranda, who've sworn not to sleep together until they're married, simply their scheme failed. So they left, and Cupid broke all his arrows, promising not to shoot them anymore. He's simply going to exist a normal lilliputian boy from now on.
Juno descends. CERES Highest queen of state, Not bad Juno, comes. I know her by her gait. 115 JUNO How does my bounteous sis? Become with me To bless this twain, that they may prosperous be And honored in their issue. They sing. JUNO "Honour, riches, marriage-blessing, Long continuance and increasing, 120 Hourly joys be still upon you. Juno sings her blessings on you." CERES "Earth's increase, foison plenty, Barns and garners never empty, Vines with clust'ring bunches growing, 125 Plants with goodly brunt bowing; Bound come to you at the farthest In the very end of harvest. Scarcity and desire shall shun you. Ceres' blessing so is on you."130	Juno, who has been lingering to a higher place, and so descends to shower blessings on the couple forth with Ceres.
FERDINAND This is a nearly majestic vision, and Harmonious charmingly. May I exist bold To think these spirits? PROSPERO Spirits, which by mine art I accept from their confines called to enact 135 My present fancies. FERDINAND Let me live here ever. Then rare a wondered father and a wise Makes this place paradise. Juno and Ceres whisper, and send Iris on employment. PROSPERO Sweetness now, silence. 140 Juno and Ceres whisper seriously. At that place'due south something else to practice. Hush, and be mute, Or else our spell is marred. IRIS You nymphs, called naiads of the windring brooks, With your sedged crowns and ever-harmless looks, 145 Get out your crisp channels and on this dark-green state Respond your summons, Juno does control. Come up, temperate nymphs, and help to celebrate A contract of truthful love. Be non too late. Enter certain Nymphs. Y'all sunburned sicklemen, of August weary, 150 Come hither from the furrow and be merry. Make vacation: your rye-harbinger hats put on, And these fresh nymphs encounter every i In country footing. Enter certain Reapers, properly habited. They bring together with the Nymphs in a graceful trip the light fantastic toe, towards the finish whereof Prospero starts all of a sudden and speaks.	Ferdinand and Miranda are amazed, and Prospero says these are spirits he has called upward on behalf of the young lovers. Nymphs and land reapers are and then summoned, and they perform a beautiful dance. We interrupt this magical performance for a encephalon snack: In the wintertime of 1612-1613,The Tempest (along with xiii other plays) was performed in honour of the matrimony of King James I's daughter Elizabeth to Frederick (the Elector Palatine). Some scholars think that Prospero's "masque" was added past Shakespeare just for this performance, but other critics say at that place's no evidence that information technology wasn't an original part of the play.
PROSPERO I had forgot that foul conspiracy 155 Of the fauna Caliban and his confederates Against my life. The minute of their plot Is near come up.—Well done. Avoid. No more. To a strange, hollow, and dislocated dissonance, the spirits heavily vanish.	Suddenly Prospero jumps with surprise, and all the spirits vanish. Prospero has realized that, oopsy-daisy, he's forgotten Caliban's plot against his life! He'd ameliorate cease messing around and become to halting that scheme.
FERDINAND, to Miranda This is strange. Your father's in some passion That works him strongly. 160 MIRANDA Never till this day Saw I him touched with anger, so distempered. PROSPERO, to Ferdinand You practise await, my son, in a moved sort, Equally if you were dismayed. Exist cheerful, sir. Our revels now are ended. These our actors, 165 Every bit I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air; And like the groundless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, 170 Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are fabricated on, and our niggling life Is rounded with a sleep. Sir, I am vexed. 175 Bear with my weakness. My onetime brain is troubled. Be not disturbed with my infirmity. If you be pleased, retire into my cell And at that place placidity. A turn or ii I'll walk To still my beating listen. 180 FERDINAND/MIRANDA Nosotros wish your peace. They exit.	Ferdinand is surprised by Prospero's sudden mood change, and Miranda says she's never seen him quite and then agitated. Prospero explains the sudden shift to Ferdinand in a beautiful spoken communication. He says that that his magic, much like life, is just temporary. Everything somewhen melts into thin air, leaving no trace behind. This is where he speaks the famous line, "We are such stuff as dreams are made on," and so he tells Ferdinand and Miranda his brain is troubled and he has a few things to figure out. They leave and wish him peace.
Enter Ariel. PROSPERO Come with a thought. I thank thee, Ariel. Come up. ARIEL Thy thoughts I cleave to. What's thy pleasure? PROSPERO Spirit, We must prepare to meet with Caliban. 185 ARIEL Ay, my commander. When I presented Ceres, I thought to have told thee of information technology, merely I feared Lest I might anger thee. PROSPERO Say again, where didst thou leave these varlets? ARIEL I told you, sir, they were ruddy-hot with drinking, 190 So full of valor that they smote the air For breathing in their faces, beat the basis For kissing of their feet; yet e'er angle Towards their project. So I crush my tabor, At which, similar unbacked colts, they pricked their 195 ears, Avant-garde their eyelids, lifted upwardly their noses Every bit they smelt music. So I charmed their ears That, dogie-like, they my lowing followed through Toothed briers, sharp furzes, pricking gorse, and 200 thorns, Which entered their fragile shins. At last I left them I' th' filthy-mantled pool across your jail cell, At that place dancing up to th' chins, that the foul lake O'erstunk their feet. 205	Prospero has a chat with Ariel, who says that Stephano, Trinculo, and Caliban were hot with rage (and completely drunk) when he last saw them. Ariel led them to just outside Prospero'south cell with his music, and left them wading in a filthy, scummy pool.
PROSPERO This was well washed, my bird. Thy shape invisible retain one thousand still. The trumpery in my business firm, go bring it here For stale to catch these thieves. ARIEL I go, I become. He exits. 210	Prospero instructs Ariel to fix his nice linens and fineries outside the cell equally bait for the thieves and would-be murderers.
PROSPERO A devil, a born devil, on whose nature Nurture tin can never stick; on whom my pains, Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost; And as with age his body uglier grows, And then his heed cankers. I volition plague them all 215 Fifty-fifty to roaring. Enter Ariel, loaden with glistering apparel, etc. Come up, hang them on this line.	Prospero and then curses Caliban for being a devil and promises to plague all of the men plotting against his life. You practicenonwant to get on this guy's bad list.
Enter Caliban, Stephano, and Trinculo, all wet, every bit Prospero and Ariel look on. CALIBAN Pray y'all, tread softly, that the blind mole may non hear a footfall. We now are near his jail cell. STEPHANO Monster, your fairy, which you say is a 220 harmless fairy, has done footling better than played the jack with us. TRINCULO Monster, I do smell all horse piss, at which my nose is in cracking indignation. STEPHANO So is mine.—Do you hear, monster. If I 225 should accept a displeasure against you lot, look you— TRINCULO G wert only a lost monster. CALIBAN Proficient my lord, requite me thy favor still. Exist patient, for the prize I'll bring thee to Shall hoodwink this mischance. Therefore speak 230 softly. All'south hushed as midnight withal. TRINCULO Ay, merely to lose our bottles in the pool! STEPHANO There is not only disgrace and dishonor in that, monster, but an infinite loss. 235 TRINCULO That's more than to me than my wetting. Withal this is your harmless fairy, monster! STEPHANO I will fetch off my bottle, though I exist o'er ears for my labor. CALIBAN Prithee, my king, exist quiet. Seest 1000 here, 240 This is the mouth o' th' jail cell. No noise, and enter. Exercise that good mischief which may make this island Thine ain forever, and I, thy Caliban, For yep thy foot-licker.	Caliban, Trinculo, and Stephano accept escaped from the nasty puddle, and while they all olfactory property of "equus caballus piss," the greatest tragedy—as far as Trinculo and Stephano are concerned—was losing their wine in the pond. Caliban assures them that their prize will be worth it, and eggs them on to Prospero's cell.
STEPHANO Requite me thy mitt. I do begin to take encarmine 245 thoughts. TRINCULO, seeing the wearing apparel O King Stephano, O peer, O worthy Stephano, look what a wardrobe here is for thee! CALIBAN Permit it lonely, k fool. It is but trash. 250 TRINCULO Oho, monster, nosotros know what belongs to a frippery. He puts on one of the gowns. O King Stephano! STEPHANO Put off that gown, Trinculo. By this paw, I'll have that gown. 255 TRINCULO Thy Grace shall take it. CALIBAN The dropsy drown this fool! What practise you mean To dote thus on such luggage? Permit 't alone, And do the murder first. If he awake, From toe to crown he'll fill our skins with pinches, 260 Make us strange stuff. STEPHANO Be you quiet, monster.—Mistress Line, is not this my jerkin? He takes a jacket from the tree. Now is the jerkin nether the line.—At present, jerkin, you are like to lose your pilus and prove a bald jerkin. 265 TRINCULO Practise, do. Nosotros steal by line and level, an 't like your Grace. STEPHANO I give thanks thee for that jest. Here's a garment for 't. Wit shall non go unrewarded while I am king of this country. "Steal by line and level" is an excellent 270 laissez passer of pate. There'south another garment for 't. TRINCULO Monster, come up, put some lime upon your fingers, and away with the remainder. CALIBAN I will take none on 't. We shall lose our time And all exist turned to barnacles or to apes 275 With foreheads villainous depression. STEPHANO Monster, lay to your fingers. Help to bear this abroad where my hogshead of wine is, or I'll turn y'all out of my kingdom. Become to, behave this. TRINCULO And this. 280 STEPHANO Ay, and this.	Just every bit Stefano begins to have thoughts of bloody murder, Trinculo points out what prissy things in that location are for a rex'southward wardrobe hanging outside, and the 2 get distracted. Caliban panics at their lack of focus; he is sure Prospero volition wake up, find them all out, and torture them.
A noise of hunters heard. Enter defined spirits in shape of dogs and hounds, hunting them near, Prospero and Ariel setting them on. PROSPERO Hey, Mountain, hey! ARIEL Silver! At that place information technology goes, Argent! PROSPERO Fury, Fury! In that location, Tyrant, there! Hark, hark! Caliban, Stephano, and Trinculo are driven off. Go, charge my goblins that they grind their joints 285 With dry out convulsions, shorten up their sinews With agèd cramps, and more compression-spotted make them Than pard or true cat o' mountain. ARIEL Hark, they roar. 290 PROSPERO Allow them be hunted soundly. At this hr Lies at my mercy all mine enemies. Before long shall all my labors finish, and thou Shalt have the air at freedom. For a little Follow and practice me service. 295 They exit.	Sure enough, Ariel and Prospero conjure upward spirit-dogs and hounds that chase the iii off. Prospero promises they'll have plenty of cramps, pinches, and convulsions as they run abroad, hunted past the spirits. And he promises, likewise, that Ariel will accept his freedom...before long.
