Miranda. O Ferdinand, the play was mine.

Ferdinand. I thought

’Twas mine, but it shall e’en be as you will;

I’ll take it back.

Miranda.Indeed, you should not, prince,

For whatso’er you do it seemeth right

To me, and now I see I did mistake.

Good sooth, I will not have it back. I say,

I will not have it back—but what are these

Tending their steps this way? a halting pair.
