Widow! a pox o’ that! How came that widow in? widow Dido! [75]

SEBASTIAN
What if he had said «widower Aeneas» too? Good Lord, how you take it!

ADRIAN
«Widow Dido» said you? you make me study of that: she was of Carthage,
not of Tunis.

GONZALO
This Tunis, sir, was Carthage. [80]

ADRIAN
Carthage?

GONZALO
I assure you, Carthage.

ANTONIO
His word is more than the miraculous harp.

SEBASTIAN
He hath rais’d the wall, and houses too.

ADRIAN
What impossible matter will he make easy [85] next?

SEBASTIAN
I think he will carry this island home in his pocket, and give it his son for an
apple.

ANTONIO
And, sowing their kernels of it in the sea, bring forth more islands.

GONZALO

I. [90]
