Chapter 34 third act

Before the first scene of Prospero's cave Ferdinand on a log. Ferdinand: There is a kind of game that is very laborious, but interest will make people forget the hard work; there is a kind of humble work that is endured with a spirit of perseverance, and the humblest things often point to the most noble goals.My kind of servitude should be hard and disgusting to me, but the girls I serve make my life interesting, and I find that labor is a kind of pleasure.Ah, her tenderness was ten times that of her father's perverseness, and he was full of violence!He sternly ordered me to bring and pile up thousands of these logs; and my dear girl wept when she saw me toil, and said she never saw a man like me do such a low thing. Work.well!I forgot about work.But these sweet thoughts give me new strength, and my thoughts are most active when I am at work.

Enter Miranda; Prospero follows. Miranda: Oh, please don't work too hard!I wish a flash of lightning would burn up all the logs you've been asked to pile up!Please put it down for a while, sit down and rest.If this log were to burn, it would think of the toil it has given you and weep.My father is engrossed in his studies; please rest and rest, he will not come out for three hours. Ferdinand: Ah, dearest girl, the sun is going down before I have done the work I have to do. Miranda: If you'll sit down, I'll move the wood for you for a while, please give it to me; let me carry it up the pile.

Ferdinand: How can it be, precious one!I'd rather mutilate my bones and crush my back than have you do such a shabby job while I sit by with my hands empty. Miranda: If this kind of work is assigned to you, of course it is assigned to me.And I feel a little more comfortable doing it; because I do it myself, and you are cheated. Prospero: (narrator) Poor child, you are already possessed by passion!Your groan of pain speaks volumes. Miranda: You look tired. Ferdinand: No, noble lady!When you are by my side, the night turns into a fresh morning.I beg you to tell me your name so that I may put it in my prayers.

Miranda: Miranda. --Ugh!Father, I have disobeyed your order and told it! Ferdinand: Admirable Miranda!It is really the highest peak of all admiration, worth more than all the most precious treasures in the world!Many a girl my eye has gazed upon, and many a time their soft voices have captivated my oversensitive hearing: I have liked various girls for various beauty; but never In loving one with all your heart, there is always some defect that mars her sublime beauty.But you, so perfect and unparalleled, are created by gathering the best beauty points of everyone! Miranda: I've never met a man of my own sex, and I don't remember the face of any woman except my own face in a mirror; nor have I seen anyone but you, my friend, and my dear father Which one I can E for man's person.I don't know how people are born elsewhere, but by my most precious dowry, chastity, I expect no companion in this world but you; An image that would please me could no longer be produced.But my words went too far, and I forgot all my father's lessons.

Ferdinand: I am a prince in my place, Miranda; a king perhaps--but I hope I am not!I can't bear a fly staining the corners of my mouth, let alone suffer the drudgery of carrying wood.Hear my heart tell you: when I first saw you, my heart flew to your side, willingly served you, made me your slave; but for your sake, I Only then is he willing to let himself be this hard-working logger. Miranda: Do you love me? Ferdinand: Heaven is on top!The ground is underneath!Witness this wonderful voice for me.If what I said is true, may heaven and earth give me a happy result; if what I said is false, then please turn my destined luck into bad luck!Beyond the bounds of everything else in the world, I love you, value you, and adore you!

Miranda: I'm a fool, I cry when I hear something I really like! Prospero: (Aside.) A rendezvous of a rare marriage!God bless their descendants! Ferdinand: Why are you weeping? Miranda: Because I am too ordinary, I dare not give you what I am willing to give you, let alone accept from you what I desire.But this is bullshit; the more you cover it up, the more it reveals itself.Go, timid cunning!Let simple and holy innocence direct my words!If you will marry me, I will be your wife; if not, I will be your handmaid to the end of my life: you may refuse me to be your companion; but whether you will or not, I will be your handmaid.

Ferdinand: My dearest love!I will always bow my head before you. Miranda: So are you my husband? Ferdinand: Yes, I desire with all my heart, as one in bondage desires to be free.hold my hand. Miranda: Here is my hand, and my heart goes with it.It's time for us to part now, see you in half an hour. Ferdinand: Farewell a thousand times! (Down separately.) Prospero: Of course I couldn't be happier than they themselves, and they were quite unexpected; but nothing could please me more than this.I'm going to read my book, because I have some things to do before dinner. (Down.) Another place on the second island

Caliban with the bottle, Stephano and Trinculo enter. Stephano: Don't tell me; if the cask runs out, then let's drink the water; let's always drink the bar as long as there's a drop left.come one!two!three!Come on!Monster slave, congratulate me! Trinculo: Monster slave!The idiot that is a specialty of this island!It is said that there are only five people on this island, and we are already three; if the other two are as clever as we are, our country will be unstable. Stephano: Drink, monster slave!I tell you to drink and you drink.Your eyes are literally stuck on top of your head.

Trinculo: Where should the eyes be, if not on the head?What a splendid monster he would be if his eyes were in his tail! Stephano: The tongue of my monster slave is drowned in white wine; but I, the sea will not drown me: by this sun, I swim up and down more than a hundred miles of sea, and swim forever to the shore.You have to be my lieutenant, monster, or my standard bearer. Trinculo: Be an adjutant, if you like; he can't be an AEf. Stephano: We don't want to run, Mr. Monster. Trinculo: I don't want to walk either, you'd better lie down like a dog; don't say a word.

Stephano: Goblin, say a word, if you are a good goblin. Caliban: Greetings to my lord!Let me lick your boots.I don't want to serve him, he's a coward. Trinculo: You lie, you ignorant monster!I can beat a cop.Hey you stinky fish!People who drink as much liquor as I do today, are you still called a coward?Are you going to tell an absurd lie because you're an absurd thing that's half fish, half monster? Caliban: Look!How he made fun of me!Will you let him go on like that, sir? Trinculo: He said "Sir!"Who would have thought getting a monster would be such a fool! Caliban: Here, here, again!I beg you to kill him.

Stephano: Trinculo, gag you well!If you want to rebel, I will hang you on the tree in front of you!This poor monster is mine and cannot be bullied. Caliban: Thank you my lord!Would you like to listen to me again? Stephano: Play as you please; kneel down and speak.I stood, and Trinculo also stood. Enter Ariel invisibly. Caliban: As I have said, I am subject to a tyrant, a wizard, who has wrested the island from me by artifice. Ariel: You're lying! Caliban: You lie, you gag monkey!I wish my brave master to kill you.I did not lie. STEPHANO: Trinculo, if you pester him again while he's talking, by this hand I'll knock out your teeth. Trinculo: What?I didn't say a word. Stephano: Then be quiet, don't say any more. (to Caliban) Go on. CALIBAN: I say, he has enchanted the island, and wrested it from me; and if the lord will avenge him for me--I know you will, but the fellow has no guts-- Stephano: Naturally. Caliban: You can be the master of this island, and I am willing to serve you. Stephano: How can this be accomplished?Can you take me to that man's place? Caliban: Yes, yes, sir.I can deliver him to you while he is fast asleep, and you can drive a nail into his head. Ariel: You lie, you dare not! Caliban: That moron in fancy dress!The bastard!Beat him up, my lord, and take his bottle; and when he's out of wine, he'll have to drink the salt water of the sea, for I won't tell him where the spring is. Stephano: Trinculo, don't make fun of yourself!If you say another word to disturb this monster, I swear by this hand, and I will beat you into a fish in spite of all sympathy. Trinculo: What?What have I offended you?I didn't say a word.Let me go a little further. Stephano: Didn't you say he was lying? Ariel: You're lying! Stephano: Am I lying!Eat this! (Strikes Trinculo) If it tastes good to you, try it next time. Trinculo: I didn't say you were lying.Are you so dizzy that you can't even hear clearly?Damn bottle!Drinking makes you so groggy.May your monster die of rinderpest, and the devil bend your fingers! Caliban: Hahaha! Stephano: Now go on. --Please stand a little further away. CALIBAN: Hit him hard; I'll hit him after a while. Stephano: Stand back. --Come on, let's talk. CALIBAN: I told you that he had an old custom of going to bed in the afternoon; when you take his books first, you can smash his head, or break it with a piece of wood. Decapitate him, or stab his guts with a stick, or slit his throat with your knife.Remember, get his book first; for when he loses his book, he is a fool like me, and no elf will obey him: there is none of these elves who do not take his book as I do. Hate to the bone marrow.Just burn his books; and he has some excellent furniture--"furniture," he calls it--to be furnished when the house is built; but the first thing that should be thought of is his beautiful daughter.He himself said she was a beautiful woman; I never saw a woman, save my old mother Sycorax and her; but she I don't know how much better than Sycorax Yes, just like the difference between heaven and earth. Stephano: Is such a wonderful girl? Caliban: Yes, my lord; I can assure you that she will be the most suitable bed with you, and she will bear you fine children. Stephano: Monster, I must kill this man; his daughter is my kingdom King and Queen, God bless!Trinculo and you as governor.Do you approve of this plan, Trinculo? Trinculo: Excellent. Stephano: Let me shake your hand.I'm sorry I hit you; but when you're alive, it's better to speak less. CALIBAN: In half an hour he'll be asleep; will you kill him then? Stephano: Yes, on my honor. Ariel: I'm going to tell the master to go. Caliban: You make me very happy, and my heart is full of joy.Let's have a good time.Would you like to sing the roulette you just taught me? Stephano: You play it, monstrosity; I'll do whatever is reasonable.Come, Trinculo, let us sing. (sings) Mock them, taunt them, taunt them, taunt them, how free the mind! Caliban: This song is wrong. Ariel plays the drum and the flute, and plays to the tune. Stephano: What's that sound? Trinculo: This is the tune of our song, blowing in the air. Stephano: If you are a man, come out as a man; if you It's a ghost, so please show me whatever shape you want! Trinculo: Forgive me my sins! Stephano: When a man dies, everything is lost; I'm not afraid of you.But have mercy on us! Caliban: Are you afraid? Stephano: No, monster, what am I afraid of? Caliban: Don't be afraid.The island is full of sounds and melodies that are pleasant to listen to and do no harm to.Sometimes thousands of tinkling instruments ring in my ears.Sometimes when I woke up from a deep sleep, I heard that singing, and I fell into a deep sleep again; at that time, in my dream, it seemed like a door opened in the E end, and countless treasures were about to pour down on me; when I woke up, I literally burst into tears, wishing I had the dream all over again. Stephano: This is a wonderful country where you can listen to music for free. Caliban: But first you must kill Prospero. Stephano: We shall soon be able to do that; I remember. Trinculo: The voice fades away; let us follow it, and then go about our business. Stephano: Lead us, monster; we follow you.I'd love to meet this drum guy, he looks like he's playing pretty well. Trinculo: Are you coming?I followed it, Stephano. (same below.) Another place on the island of the third scene Enter Alonzo, Sebastian, Antonio, Gonzalo, Adrian, Francisco, and others. Gonzalo: My God!I can't walk, my lord; my old bones ache.The road here is straight and curved, which completely stuns people!If you're not surprised, I must take a break. Alonzo: I can't blame you, old man; I'm also disheartened and tired.Sit down and rest.Now I've given up my mind and stopped coaxing myself.He must have been drowned, though we groped for him; and the sea laughed at our futile quests on shore.Forget it, let him die and it's over! ANTONIO: (narrating to Sebastian) I'm glad he's so discouraged.Don't give up your decided plan just because of one failure. Sebastian: (narrating to Antonio) We must not miss the next opportunity. ANTONIO: (Aside to Sebastian) Just to-night; they are tired of walking now, and they must not, and cannot, be so alert. Sebastian: (narrating to Antonio) Well, to-night.Say no more.Majestic and disruptive music.Prospero enters from above, invisible.A number of grotesque spirits from the lower side brought in a banquet table; they danced around it, and made various gestures of salutation, inviting the king to eat and then retreat. Alonzo: What music is this?My friends, listen up! Gonzalo: God's sweet music! Alonzo: God bless us!what are these? Sebastian: A moving puppet show?Only now do I believe that there are unicorns with one horn in the world, and that there are trees where phoenixes live in Arabia, and there is a phoenix on it that is still king in the south. Antonio: I believe in both the unicorn and the phoenix; if there is anything beyond belief, tell me, and I will swear it is true.Travelers never tell lies, but fools who stay at home laugh at them. Gonzalo: If I were in Naples now and I told people this, would they believe me?If I said to them, I saw the people on the island like this--of course they must be the people on the island--although their appearance is very strange, they are very polite and kind. Also rarely seen. Prospero: (Aside.) You are right, good old man; for there are some among your own people who are worse than the devil. Alonzo: I couldn't be more amazed; they didn't speak, but with that shape, that gesture, that music, it was a beautiful E-drama. Prospero: (Aside.) Be slow to praise. Francisco: It's weird how they disappeared. Sebastian: Leave him alone, since they've left the food, we should eat it if we have stomachs. --Would you like to try it? Alonzo: I don't want to eat it. Gonzalo: Truly, my lord, you need not be timid.When we were children, who would have believed that there was a mountain-dwelling people with a meat bag at the throat like a cow?Who would believe that there is a kind of person whose head grows on the chest?But we now believe that every traveler can be sure that this statement is not false. Alonzo: Well, I'll eat, even if it's my last meal; what does it matter?My best days are behind me too.Brother, duke, come and eat with us.thunder and lightning.Ariel hit the table with her wings on the strange bird that turned into a female face, and the banquet disappeared immediately - using a special mechanism. Ariel: You are three sinful people; the destiny that manipulates all the lower worlds makes the raging sea of ​​greed spit you out again, and casts you on this uninhabited island. You are not worthy to live in the world. Middle.You have gone mad. (Alonzo, Sebastian, etc. draw their swords) Even brave men like you cannot escape death.You fools!My companions and I are messengers of fate; your swords, fused with wind and fire, cannot harm a feather on our body, As they cut them to the howling wind, and to the split and recombined water waves, It just looks ridiculous.My companions are also invulnerable.And even if they could hurt us, you don't have the strength to raise your arms now.Well remember, I have come to tell you this, you three are wicked men who usurped good Prospero at Milan, and cast him and his innocent babe at sea, and now you are being treated in the same way. retribution.For this evil deed, although Heaven did not punish you immediately, it did not let it go lightly. It has already caused the sea, land, and all living creatures to come against you.You, Alonzo, have lost your son; I declare to you again; the infinite pain of living hell--all death is not so bad together, will come step by step on the road of your life; unless you repent If you are wrong before, you will change your mind and be an innocent person in the future, otherwise, on this deserted island, the punishment of God is already in sight! Ariel disappeared amidst the thunder.The soft music resumes; re-enter the spirits, dancing and teasing, Take down the empty table. Prospero: (Aside.) You've played this strange bird well, my Ariel, and you've held this table well, and you haven't missed a word I've told you to say; even those elves They are all alive and well, and each contributes a lot.My magic has shown its strength, and my enemies are paralyzed with terror; they are all under my power.Now I will leave them in this state, to visit young Ferdinand, whom they thought drowned, and his darling who is also mine. (From top to bottom.) Gonzalo: In the name of holiness, my lord, why are you standing there like this? Alonzo: Ah, that's terrible!horrible!There I feel the tide tell me so; there the wind sings it to my ears; that deep, terrible, organ-like thunder is vibrating to me the name of Prospero, which proclaims in sonorous bass my sin.So my boy must be buried in the soft mud of the sea; I will seek him in the unfathomable depths, and sleep with him! (Down.) Sebastian: If these ghosts come one by one, I can beat them. Antonio: Let me help you. (Exit Sebastian and Antonio.) Gonzalo: All three of them looked desperate.Their great crimes are now beginning to gnaw at their souls like a long-lost poison.You are better at adapting to the situation, please catch up quickly and stop them from doing any crazy moves. Adrian: Come with me. (same below.)
