If the ill spirit have so fair a house, Good things will strive to dwell with't. - The Tempest (Miranda at I, ii) [Beauty] 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 loved thee And showed thee all the qualities o' th' isle, The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile. - The Tempest (Caliban at I, ii) [Astronomy] You taught me language, and my profit on't Is, I know how to curse.
