MIRANDA

               The strangeness of your story put
               Heaviness in me.



              PROSPERO
                               Shake it off. Come on;
               We’ll visit Caliban my slave, who never [310]

               Yields us kind answer.



              MIRANDA
                               ’Tis a villain, sir,
               I do not love to look on.



              PROSPERO
                               But, as ’tis,
               We cannot miss him: he does make our fire,

               Fetch in our wood, and serves in offices
               That profit us. What, ho! slave! Caliban! [315]
               Thou earth, thou! speak.



              CALIBAN
               [Within]

                               There’s wood enough within.


              PROSPERO

               Come forth, I say! there’s other business for thee;
               Come, thou tortoise! when?


                                        [Re-]enter Ariel like a water-nymph.



               Fine apparition! My quaint, Ariel,
               Hark in thine ear.



              ARIEL
                               My lord, it shall be done. [320]

                                                                                                          [Exit.]
