FERDINAND.
[Aside.] O! if a virgin,
And your affection not gone forth, I'll make you
The Queen of Naples.
PROSPERO.
Soft, sir; one word more —
[Aside] They are both in either's powers: but this swift
business I must uneasy make, lest too light winning
Make the prize light. [To FERDINAND] One word more:
I charge thee
That thou attend me. Thou dost here usurp
The name thou ow'st not; and hast put thyself
Upon this island as a spy, to win it
From me, the lord on't.
FERDINAND.
No, as I am a man.
MIRANDA.
There's nothing ill can dwell in such a temple:
If the ill spirit have so fair a house,
Good things will strive to dwell with't.
PROSPERO.
{To FERDINAND] Follow me. —
[To MIRANDA] Speak not you for him; he's a traitor. —
[To FERDINAND] Come;
I'll manacle thy neck and feet together:
Sea-water shalt thou drink; thy food shall be
The fresh-brook mussels, wither'd roots, and husks
Wherein the acorn cradled. Follow.
