Tempest
[I, 2]

Prospero

577

No, wench; it eats and sleeps and hath such senses
As we have, such. This gallant which thou seest
Was in the wreck; and, but he's something stain'd
With grief that's beauty's canker, thou mightst call him
A goodly person: he hath lost his fellows
And strays about to find 'em.

Tempest
[I, 2]

Miranda

I might call him
A thing divine, for nothing natural
I ever saw so noble.

Tempest
[II, 2]

Stephano

Doth thy other mouth call me? Mercy, mercy! This is
a devil, and no monster: I will leave him; I have no
long spoon.

Tempest
[III, 1]

Miranda

1336

I do not know
One of my sex; no woman's face remember,
Save, from my glass, mine own; nor have I seen
More that I may call men than you, good friend,
And my dear father: how features are abroad,
I am skilless of; but, by my modesty,
The jewel in my dower, I would not wish
Any companion in the world but you,
Nor can imagination form a shape,
Besides yourself, to like of. But I prattle
Something too wildly and my father's precepts
I therein do forget.

[IV, 1]

Prospero

1753

Dearly my delicate Ariel. Do not approach
Till thou dost hear me call.

[V, 1]

Prospero

2168

No.
For you, most wicked sir, whom to call brother
Would even infect my mouth, I do forgive
Thy rankest fault; all of them; and require
My dukedom of thee, which perforce, I know,
Thou must restore.

Tempest
[V, 1]

Prospero

2188

As great to me as late; and, supportable
To make the dear loss, have I means much weaker
Than you may call to comfort you, for I
Have lost my daughter.

Tempest
[V, 1]

Miranda

2221

Yes, for a score of kingdoms you should wrangle,
And I would call it, fair play.
