As great to me as late; and, supportable
To make the dear loss, have I means much weaker
Than you may call to comfort you, for I
Have lost my daughter.
– William Shakespeare
The Tempest, Act 5, Scene 1. Prospero says that he recently lost his daughter, just as Alonso is experiencing the loss of his son. Prospero is referring to the fact that his daughter Miranda is getting married to Ferdinand, a loss that he feels badly.
