The wolves have preyed: and look, the gentle day, Before the wheels of Phoebus, round about Dapples the drowsy east with spots of gray. TAMING OF THE SHREW. INDUCTION. HOUNDS. THY hounds shall make the welkin answer them, And fetch shrill echoes from the hollow earth. PAINTING. Dost thou love pictures? we will fetch thee straight Adonis painted by a running brook: And Cytherea all in sedges hid; Which seem to move and wanton with her breath, Even as the waving sedges play with wind.

Tra. What said the wench, when he arose again? Gre Trembled and shook; for why, he stamp'd, and swore, As if the vicar meant to cozen him. But after many ceremonies done, He calls for wine: A health, quoth he, as if But that his beard grew thin and hungerly, ACT IV. THE MIND ALONE VALUABLE.

THAT now he was The ivy, which had hid my princely trunk, ARIEL'S DESCRIPTION OF MANAGING THE STorm.

PROSPERO REPROVING ARIEL. Thou dost; and think'st It much, to tread the ooze of the salt deep; * Gentle tempers. CALIBAN'S CURSES. Cal As wicked dew as e'er my mother brush'd With raven's feather from unwholesome fen, Drop on you both! a south-west blow on ye, And blister you all o'er! Pro. For this, be sure, to-night thou shalt have cramps, Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up; urchins Shall, for that vast of night that they may work, All exercise on thee: thou shalt be pinch'd As thick as honeycombs, each pinch more stinging Than bees that made them. Cal. I must eat my dinner. This island's mine, by Sycorax my mother, Which thou taks't from me. When thou cam'st first, Thou strok'dst me, and mad'st much of me; give me would'st Water with berries in't; and teach me how The fresh springs, brine pits, barren place, and fertile; Cursed be I that did so!-All the charms Of Sycorax, toads, beetles, bats, light on you!
