SCENE II.—The Cypress Trees and Cave.
Enter Prospero and Miranda.
Prosp. Excuse it not, Miranda, for to you (The elder, and, I thought, the more discreet,) I gave the conduct of your sister's actions.
Mir. Sir, when you called me thence, I did not fail To mind her of her duty to depart.
Prosp. How can I think you did remember hers, When you forgot your own? did you not see The man, whom I commanded you to shun?
Mir. I must confess I saw him at a distance.
Prosp. Did not his eyes infect and poison you? What alteration found you in yourself?
Mir. I only wondered at a sight so new.
Prosp. But have you no desire once more to see him? Come, tell me truly what you think of him. Come, tell me truly what you think of him.
