Ariel's Song

Come unto these yellow sands,

And then take hands;

Curt'sied when you have, and kiss'd,

(The wild waves whist;)

Foot it featly here and there;

And sweet sprites the burden bear.

[Burden dispersedly.]

Hark, hark! bowgh-wowgh: the watch-dogs bark,

Bowgh-wowgh.

Ariel. Hark, hark! I hear

The strain of strutting chanticleer

Cry cock-a-doodle-doo.

Ferdinand. Where should this music be? in air or earth?

It sounds no more: and sure it waits upon

Some god o' th' island. Sitting on a bank

Weeping against the king my father's wreck,

This music crept by me upon the waters,

Allaying both their fury and my passion

With its sweet air; thence I have follow'd it,

Or it hath drawn me rather:--but 'tis gone.--

No, it begins again.
