Trinculo [returning with food which he places before Caliban] Master Nobody is at his ancient tricks. An’ he be a devil, he hath an angel’s voice.

[Exeunt Trinculo and Stephano.
Ariel plays softly on a tabor, scatters poppy

Scene II.
A room in the palace at Naples.

[Enter Ferdinand and Miranda.

Ferdinand. Admir’d Miranda, you are sad, and sad

That I may kill ’t, or what untoward care

Weighs down your spirit, that I may kiss ’t away?
