Antonio: Although this lord hath here almost persuaded the king his son's alive, 'tis as impossible that he's undrown'd as he that sleeps here swims.
Sebastian: I have no hope that he's undrown'd.
Antonio: O, out of that "no hope" what great hope have you! No hope that way is another way so high a hope that even ambition cannot pierce a wink beyond, but doubt discovery there. Will you grant with me that Ferdinand is drowned?
Sebastian: He's gone.
Antonio: Then tell me, who's the next heir of Naples?
Sebastian: Claribel.
Antonio: She that is queen of Tunis? She that dwells ten leagues beyond man's life? She that from whom we all were sea-swallow'd, though some cast again, and by that destiny to perform an act whereof what's past is prologue, what to come in yours and my discharge.
Sebastian: What stuff is this! How say you?
Antonio: Say this were death that now hath seized them. Why, they were no worse than now they are. There be that can rule Naples as well as he that sleeps. O, that you bore the mind that I do! What a sleep were this for your advancement. Do you understand me?
Sebastian: Methinks I do.
Antonio: Then how does your content tender your own good fortune?
Sebastian: I remember you did supplant your sister Prospera.
Antonio: True. And look how well my garments sit upon me. My sister's servants were then my fellows, now they are my men.
Sebastian: But, for your conscience?
Antonio: Ay, sir, where lies that? 20 consciences that stand 'twixt me and Milan, candied be they and melt ere they molest! Here lies your brother, no better than the earth he lies upon. If he were that which now he's like, that's dead, whom I, with this obedient steel, three inches of it, can lay to bed forever, whiles you, doing thus, to this ancient morsel, this Sir Prudence, who should not upbraid our course.
Sebastian: Thy case, dear friend, shall be my precedent. As thou got'st Milan, I'll come by Naples. Draw thy sword. One stroke shall free thee from the tribute which thou payest, and I, the king, shall love thee
