Pros. Bravely the figure of this harpy hast thou Perform'd, my Ariel: a grace it had, devouring: Of my instruction hast thou nothing bated In what thou hadst to say: so, with good life And observation strange. my meaner ministers Their several kinds have done. My high charms work, And these my enemies are all knit up In their distractions; they now are in my power; Alon. Seb. I'll fight their legions o'er. But one fiend am Ant. I'll be thy second. [Exeunt Seb. and Ant. Gon. All three of them are desperate: their great guilt, Like poison given to work a great time after, Adr. Follow, I pray you. [Exeunt. ACT IV. SCENE I.
