Ay, my lord, and fear
               We have landed in ill time: the skies look grimly,
               And threaten present blusters. In my conscience,
               The heavens with that we have in hand are angry, [5]

               And frown upon ’s.



              ANTIGONUS
               Their sacred wills be done! Go, get aboard;
               Look to thy bark: I’ll not be long before
               I call upon thee.



              MARINER
               Make your best haste, and go not [10]

               Too far i’ th’ land: ’tis like to be loud weather;
               Besides, this place is famous for the creatures
               Of prey that keep upon ’t.



              ANTIGONUS
                               Go thou away:
               I’ll follow instantly.




              MARINER
                               I am glad at heart
               To be so rid o’ th’ business.
                                                                                                             Exit.



              ANTIGONUS
                               Come, poor babe: [15]

               I have heard, but not believ’d, the spirits o’ th’ dead
               May walk again: if such thing be, thy mother
               Appear’d to me last night; for ne’er was dream
               So like a waking. To me comes a creature,
               Sometimes her head on one side, some another; [20]

               I never saw a vessel of like sorrow,
               So fill’d, and so becoming: in pure white robes,
               Like very sanctity, she did approach

               My cabin where I lay: thrice bow’d before me,
