Read the extract and answer this question.

If after every tempest come such calms.

May the winds blow till they have wakened death,

And let the labouring bark climb hills of seas

Olympus-high, and duck again as low

As hell's from heaven. If it were now to die, 
'T were now to be most happy: for I fear

My soul hath her content so absolute

That not another comfort like to this

Succeeds in unknown fate. 

(Act II, Scene One, lines 179 - 187)
