….and here
Have
I , thy schoolmaster, made thee more profit
Than
other princess' can, that have more time
For
vainer hours, and tutors not so careful.
-Prospero
The Tempest Act
1, Scene ii, Line 72
This is Prospero explaining to his daughter, Miranda, about their
situation on the island. He’s giving her the backstory which is, of course, for
the sake of the audience. One would have thought that since they’ve been stuck
together on the island, just the two of them, for twelve years that they might
have previously broached this subject. But apparently not. Anyway, all he’s
saying is that he has been her teacher and that he’s done a good job at it. It’s
part of a longer tale of how they got to the island. Again, backstory.
Since Prospero was bragging about what a great teacher he was, I thought I'd show you a picture of my MAT diploma and brag that I'm at least qualified to teach (even if I'm not teaching). But I couldn't find the darn diploma, so here's a picture of the cowl (is that the right word?) that I got when I got my masters. I'll have to ask my wife where the diploma is. She'll know.
