thanks crow. just "cj" will be fine in the future 
i've read The Tempest many times using different lenses, so to speak,
and i get something different from it each time.
i purposely used blank verse with tetrameter
to give it a little musicality and lilt instead of
coming off prosaic, that might account for some
of the awkward phrasing you highlight.
i'm grateful for the close read and analysis, it makes me want to work harder.
