O, rejoice
Beyond a common joy, and set it down
With gold on lasting pillars: In one voyage
Did Claribel her husband find at Tunis,
And Ferdinand, her brother, found a wife
Where he himself was lost, Prospero his dukedom
In a poor isle and all of us ourselves
When no man was his own.
– William Shakespeare
The Tempest, Act 5, Scene 1. Ever the beacon of hope, it is left to Gonzalo to sum up all the positive results that came out of one ship voyage and the upheaval of the tempest. He calls on everyone to rejoice that Claribel found a husband, her brother Ferdinand a wife where he was shipwrecked, Prospero found his dukedom on a poor island, and all of them found themselves.
