SCENE VI. Opens to the entrance of Prospero's cell, and discovers Ferdinand and Miranda playing at chess.

MIRANDA.
Sweet lord, you play me false.

FERDINAND.
No, my dear love,
I would not for the world.

-- 41 --

MIRANDA.
Yes, for a score of kingdoms you shall wrangle,
And I would call it fair play.
AIR. FERDINAND.
If on those endless charms you lay
  The value that's their due,
Kings are themselves too poor to pay,
  A thousand worlds too few.
But if a passion without vice,
  Without disguise or art,
Miranda, if true love's your price,
  Behold it in my heart.
