I have inly wept,
Or should have spoke ere this. Look down, you gods,
And on this couple drop a blessed crown!
For it is you that have chalk’d forth the way
Which brought us hither.
– William Shakespeare
The Tempest, Act 5, Scene 1. Gonzalo speaks these deeply felt words near the end of the play. He admits that he has been crying to himself, and he calls on the gods to look down on Miranda and Ferdinand and place a blessed crown on them. He credits the gods with orchestrating the happy resolution to events in the play, and especially the love union between Miranda and Ferdinand.
