What, I say,
My foot my tutor? – Put thy sword up, traitor,
Who mak’st a show, but dar’st not strike, thy conscience
Is so possessed with guilt. Come from thy ward,
For I can here disarm thee with this stick
And make thy weapon drop.
– William Shakespeare
The Tempest, Act 1, Scene 2. After Ferdinand draws his sword and says he will resist Prospero’s threats to manacle and enslave him, Prospero puts a magic spell on Ferdinand that stops him from moving. Once again Prospero shows the considerable powers that he has when he uses his magic to protect himself.
