 270:<LINE>The sky, it seems, would pour down stinking pitch,</LINE>
 271:<LINE>But that the sea, mounting to the welkin's cheek,</LINE>

 273:<LINE>With those that I saw suffer: a brave vessel,</LINE>
 274:<LINE>Who had, no doubt, some noble creature in her,</LINE>
 275:<LINE>Dash'd all to pieces. O, the cry did knock</LINE>
 276:<LINE>Against my very heart. Poor souls, they perish'd.</LINE>
 277:<LINE>Had I been any god of power, I would</LINE>
 278:<LINE>Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere</LINE>

 339:<LINE>The hour's now come;</LINE>

 360:<SPEAKER>MIRANDA</SPEAKER>
 361:<LINE>'Tis far off</LINE>

 428:<LINE>The manage of my state; as at that time</LINE>
 429:<LINE>Through all the signories it was the first</LINE>
 430:<LINE>And Prospero the prime duke, being so reputed</LINE>
 431:<LINE>In dignity, and for the liberal arts</LINE>
 432:<LINE>Without a parallel; those being all my study,</LINE>
 433:<LINE>The government I cast upon my brother</LINE>
 434:<LINE>And to my state grew stranger, being transported</LINE>

 448:<LINE>To trash for over-topping, new created</LINE>
 449:<LINE>The creatures that were mine, I say, or changed 'em,</LINE>
 450:<LINE>Or else new form'd 'em; having both the key</LINE>
 451:<LINE>Of officer and office, set all hearts i' the state</LINE>
 452:<LINE>To what tune pleased his ear; that now he was</LINE>
 453:<LINE>The ivy which had hid my princely trunk,</LINE>

 467:<LINE>With that which, but by being so retired,</LINE>
 468:<LINE>O'er-prized all popular rate, in my false brother</LINE>
 469:<LINE>Awaked an evil nature; and my trust,</LINE>
 470:<LINE>Like a good parent, did beget of him</LINE>
 471:<LINE>A falsehood in its contrary as great</LINE>
 472:<LINE>As my trust was; which had indeed no limit,</LINE>
 473:<LINE>A confidence sans bound. He being thus lorded,</LINE>
 474:<LINE>Not only with what my revenue yielded,</LINE>
 475:<LINE>But what my power might else exact, like one</LINE>
 476:<LINE>Who having into truth, by telling of it,</LINE>
 477:<LINE>Made such a sinner of his memory,</LINE>
 478:<LINE>To credit his own lie, he did believe</LINE>
 479:<LINE>He was indeed the duke; out o' the substitution</LINE>
 480:<LINE>And executing the outward face of royalty,</LINE>
 481:<LINE>With all prerogative: hence his ambition growing--</LINE>

 496:<LINE>He thinks me now incapable; confederates--</LINE>
 497:<LINE>So dry he was for sway--wi' the King of Naples</LINE>
 498:<LINE>To give him annual tribute, do him homage,</LINE>

 530:<LINE>Out of the dukedom and confer fair Milan</LINE>
 531:<LINE>With all the honours on my brother: whereon,</LINE>
