e_. [456-29] He speaks to Gonzalo. [457-30] _Taste some subtilties_ means _feel some deceptions_. [457-31] _Justify you traitors_ means _prove that you are traitors_. [457-32] _Woe_ here means _sorry_. [458-33] _As late_ means _as recent_. [458-34] In this place _admire_ means _wonder_. [458-35] _Are natural breath_ means _are the breath of a human being_. The lords are still amazed; they cannot reason, they can scarcely believe their eyes or that the words they hear come from a living human being. [458-36] In this connection _yet_ means _now_ or _for the present_. [458-37] That is, it is a story to be told day after day. [459-38] Miranda playfully accuses Ferdinand of cheating in the game. [459-39] The exact meaning of _wrangle_ has not been determined, and critics still disagree. However, what Miranda says is, "you might cheat me for a score of kingdoms and yet I would call it fair play." [459-40] Alonzo means that if this sight of Ferdinand is one of the witcheries of the island, he will feel that he has lost his son a second time. [460-41] And this lady by becoming my wife makes him a second father to me. [462-42] That is, "all of us have found our senses, when no man was in possession of his own." [462-43] See Act I--Scene I. [462-44] This sentence means, "Now you blasphemous man who swore so on board the ship that we could be saved, have you not an oath to swear on shore?" [463-45] _Tricksy_ means _clever_. [463-46] _Capering to eye her_ means _dancing with joy at seeing her_. [463-47] _Moping_ here means _bewildered_. [463-48] _Conduct of_ is used for _conductor_ or _leader of_. [463-49] That is, "some wise man must make it clear to us." [463-50] This sentence means "Do not trouble your mind by hammering away at the strangeness of these happenings." [464-51] _At pick'd leisure_ is _at a chosen time when we have the opportunity_. [464-52] _Single I'll resolve_ means _I will explain singly_. [464-53] _Of every these happen'd accidents_ means _how every one of these things happened_. [464-54] Stephano is still a little drunk and his tongue uncertain in its speech. He means, _Let us every man shift for himself_. [464-55] _Coragio_ is used for _courage!_ [464-56] Trinculo means, "If my eyes do not deceive me." [465-57] _Without_ here means _outside of_ or _beyond_. [465-58] _Gilded_ is a word that was commonly applied to a man who was drunk. [465-
