What is IRONIC about the Cyclops's comment about traffic? Heres the lines " 'Strangers,' he said, 'who are you?And where from? What brings you here by seaways-A FAIR TRAFFIC? Or are you wandering rogues, who cast your lives like dice, and ravage other folk by sea?" Fair traffic means a good, fair and honest trade but whats ironic about the lines?
