1 Thy brother was a furtherer in the act.
2 Then tell me If this might be a brother.
3 I remember You did supplant your brother Prospero.
4 My brother's servants Were then my fellows; now they are my men.
5 Those being all my study, The government I cast upon my brother And to my state grew stranger, being transported And rapt in secret studies.
6 The King, His brother, and yours abide all three distracted, And the remainder mourning over them, Brimful of sorrow and dismay; but chiefly Him that you termed, sir, the good old Lord Gonzalo.
7 --Flesh and blood, You, brother mine, that entertained ambition, Expelled remorse and nature, whom, with Sebastian, Whose inward pinches therefore are most strong, Would here have killed your king, I do forgive thee, Unnatural though thou art.
8 I, thus neglecting worldly ends, all dedicated To closeness and the bettering of my mind With that which, but by being so retired, O'erprized all popular rate, in my false brother Awaked an evil nature, and my trust, Like a good parent, did beget of him A falsehood in its contrary as great As my trust was, which had indeed no limit, A confidence sans bound.
