Strange People on this Island

 My master asked me to lure Ferdinand, a prince who swam to the shore after the ship-wreck caused by a “tempest,” to his cell. A strange fellow Ferdinand is. I don’t see a "thing divine" as Miranda might say, rather I see a fellow of sorrow who thinks his father is lost. I don’t know what Prospero will do to this gentleman, but I have a feeling that a matrimonial ceremony will be coming up soon. Ferdinand is not the only man I find strange. Sebastian, the brother of the King of Naples, and Antonio, the current Duke of Milan, have such devilish thoughts. I thought only Sycorax, a blue-ey’d hag, had such diabolic judgment. I never would have believed that mankind could think in a demonic way. To kill the King of Naples, Alonso, for power and ambition, what thoughts they are? Fortunately, my honorable master foresaw the danger that his friend was in; therefore, he sent me to save King Alonso’s soul. What would have happened if my master didn’t know? I have learned one thing in the past couple of minutes and that is humans also have ambition that overpowers the good in them. Some of mankind can be trusted; others must be carefully watched.

While you here do snoring lie, open ey'd conspiracy
His time doth take
If of life you keep a care, shake off slumber and beware:
Awake! Awake!

This is what I sang to wake up Gonzalo and save the king
