Begin to chace the ignorant fumes that mantle

Their cleerer reason. O good Gonzallo

My true preseruer, and a loyall Sir,

To him thou follow'st; I will pay thy graces

Home both in word, and deede: Most cruelly

Did thou Alonso, vse me, and my daughter:

Thy brother was a furtherer in the Act,

Thou art pinch'd for't now Sebastian. Flesh,

and bloud,

You, brother mine, that entertaine ambition,

Expelld remorse, and nature, whom, with Sebastian

(Whose inward pinches therefore are most strong)

Would heere haue kill'd your King: I do forgiue thee,

Vnnaturall though thou art: Their vnderstanding

Begins to swell, and the approching tide

Will shortly fill the reasonable shore
