[383-78] To Shakespeare and other writers of his time, the word _envy_ meant _malice_. [383-79] _Argier_ is an old name for Algiers. [383-80] _Blue-eyed_ means that the witch had dark blue circles around her eyes, not that she had real blue eyes. [383-81] _For_ means _because_. [384-82] _Hests_ means _behests_ or _commands_. [384-83] The witch confined Ariel _in_ a cloven pine tree. [384-84] This line means _save for the son that was born here_. [384-85] _Correspondent_ means _obedient_. [385-86] _Miss_ means _spare_. [385-87] _When_ was often used as an exclamation of impatience. [386-88] Old meanings for _quaint_ are _artful, ingenious_. [386-89] _Wicked dew_ probably means _poisonous dew_. [386-90] Caliban, in cursing his master, alludes to the common belief of that time that a southwest wind was unwholesome. [386-91] _Side stitches_ are _stitches_ or _pains_ in the side. [386-92] _Urchins_ were troublesome _sprites_ or _fairies_. [386-93] _Vast_ alludes to the middle hours of night when in the stillness and vacancy evil spirits can do their work. [386-94] Just what Caliban means here is uncertain. [387-95] _Sty_ here means _confine_, as in a sty. [387-96] This clause means _did'st not, savage, know the meaning of thine own words_. [387-97] _Rid_ means _destroy_. [388-98] _Old_ here, as often in the writings of Shakespeare's time, is used merely to make stronger the meaning of the word that follows it. [388-99] _Kiss'd the wild waves whist_ means _soothed the wild waves into peace_. [389-100] Ferdinand was suffering, and Shakespeare used the word _passion_ to express the idea as we use it in speaking of the Passion of Christ. [389-101] This line means _without suffering a change from the effects of the sea_. [389-102] _Owes_ here means _possesses_. [389-103] Prospero speaking to Miranda says, "Lift up your eyelids and tell me what you see yonder." [389-104] In this connection _brave_ means _fine_ or _noble_. [390-105] _Canker_ means _rust_ or _tarnish_. Prospero says, "Except for the fact that he's somewhat stained with grief, which tarnishes beauty, you might call him a goodly person." [390-106] Miranda, it must be remembered, has never seen any other man than her father. [390-107] Prospero sees his plan going on well and gives Ariel credit for it. Just what the plan is will soon become apparent. [390-108] Ferdinand speaks somewhat aside when he sees the beautiful Miranda, and then directly addresses her. He is embarrassed, calls her a goddess, asks her how he shall behave, calls her a wonder, but above all, wishes to know if she is mortal or not. [390-109] The word _Miranda_ means _wonderful_ [390-110] "She speaks my language!" [391-111] _A single thing_ means _a weak and companionless thing_. [391-112] _Myself am Naples_ means _I am now the King of Naples_. [391-113] Notice that this is the only mention of a son to Antonio, the usurping Duke of Milan.
