MIRANDA If by your art, my dearest father,
you have Put the wild waters in this roar,
allay them. The sky, it seems, would pour
down stinking pitch, But that the sea,
mounting to the welkin's cheek, Dashes the
fire out. O, I have suffered With those that
I saw suffer a brave vessel, Who had, no
doubt, some noble creature in her, Dash'd all
to pieces. O, the cry did knock Against my
very heart. Poor souls, they perish'd. Had I
been any god of power, I would Have sunk the
sea within the earth or ere It should the
good ship so have swallow'd and The
fraughting souls within her. PROSPERO Be
collected No more amazement tell your
piteous heart There's no harm done.
