[Re-enter ARIEL like a water-nymph]

Fine apparition! My quaint Ariel, Hark in thine ear.ARIEL.My lord, it shall be done.[Exit] PROSPERO.Thou poisonous slave, got by the devil himself Upon thy wicked dam, come forth!

[Enter CALIBAN]

CALIBAN.As wicked dew as e'er my mother brush'd With raven's feather from unwholesome fen Drop on you both! A south-west blow on ye And blister you all o'er! PROSPERO.For this, be sure, to-night thou shalt have cramps, Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up; urchins Shall, for that vast of night that they may work, All exercise on thee; thou shalt be pinch'd As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging Than bees that made 'em.CALIBAN.I must eat my dinner.This island's mine, by Sycorax my mother, Which thou tak'st from me.When thou cam'st first, Thou strok'st me and made much of me, wouldst give me Water with berries in't, and teach me how To name the bigger light, and how the less, That burn by day and night; and then I lov'd thee, And show'd thee all the qualities o' th' isle, The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile.Curs'd be I that did so! All the charms Of Sycorax, toads, beetles, bats, light on you! For I am all the subjects that you have, Which first was mine own king; and here you sty me In this hard rock, whiles you do keep from me The rest o' th' island.PROSPERO.Thou most lying slave, Whom stripes may move, not kindness! I have us'd thee, Filth as thou art, with human care, and lodg'd thee In mine own cell, till thou didst seek to violate The honour of my child.CALIBAN.O ho, O ho! Would't had beendone.Thou didst prevent me; I had peopl'd else This isle with Calibans.MIRANDA.Abhorred slave, Which any print of goodness wilt not take, Being capable of all ill! I pitied thee, Took pains to make thee speak, taught thee each hour One thing or other.When thou didst not, savage, Know thine own meaning, but wouldst gabble like A thing most brutish, I endow'd thy purposes With words that made them known.But thy vile race, Though thou didst learn, had that in't which good natures Could not abide to be with; therefore wast thou Deservedly confin'd into this rock, who hadst Deserv'd more than a prison.CALIBAN.You taught me language, and my profit on't Is, I know how to curse.The red plague rid you For learning me your language! PROSPERO.Hag-seed, hence! Fetch us in fuel.And be quick, thou 'rt best, To answer other business.Shrug'st thou, malice? If thou neglect'st, or dost unwillingly What I command, I'll rack thee with old cramps, Fill all thy bones with aches, make thee roar, That beasts shall tremble at thy din.CALIBAN.No, pray thee.[Aside] I must obey.His art is of such pow'r, It would control my dam's god, Setebos, And make a vassal of him.PROSPERO.So, slave; hence! [Exit CALIBAN]

[Re-enter ARIEL invisible, playing and singing; FERDINAND following] ARIEL'S SONG.Come unto these yellow sands, And then take hands; Curtsied when you have and kiss'd, The wild waves whist, Foot it featly here and there, And, sweet sprites, the burden bear.Hark, hark! [Burden dispersedly: Bow-wow.] The watch dogs bark.[Burden dispersedly: Bow-wow.] Hark, hark! I hear The strain of strutting chanticleer Cry, Cock-a-diddle-dow.FERDINAND.Where should this music be? I' th' air or th' earth? It sounds no more; and sure it waits upon Some god o' th' island.Sitting on a bank, Weeping again the King my father's wreck, This music crept by me upon the waters, Allaying both their fury and my passion With its sweet air; thence I have follow'd it, Or it hath drawn me rather.But 'tis gone.No, it begins again.

[ARIEL'S SONG] Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange.Sea- nymphs hourly ring his knell: [Burden: Ding-dong.] Hark! now I hearthem-Ding-dong bell.

    基层农村档案发见记

    2012年岁末,受台湾中央研究院谢国兴先生之邀,我第三次来中研院进行学术访问。此次访问除参加由明清研究推动委员会举办的“十字路口的明清研究”座谈会为“规定动作”外,其余时间均属“自选动作”了。“朝读易一卦,时钞史数行”,如此闲适的学术之旅不仅使人感到摆脱喧嚣日常后的放松,而且似乎体味到了那种信马由缰思绪飞扬的内中自由。随谢先生一起去台南考察民俗、到位于台北市中心的诚品书店购书、再去台湾大学及台大周围数不清的小书店看看,再就是在中研院傅斯年图书馆、近代史所图书馆和档案馆查资料看书了。
