SCENE VI.
A wild and beautiful Part of the Island, on the Seashore.Enter Ariel and other Spirits.
SONG—BY ARIEL.
Come unto these yellow sands,
And then take hands;
Enter other Spirits, dancing.
Foot it featly here and there;
And, sweet sprites, the burden bear.
Chorus of Spirits.
Hark! hark!
The watch-dogs bark:
Hark! hark! I hear
The strain of Chanticleer.
Enter Ferdinand, with his Sword drawn.—Ariel and the other Spirits are invisible to him.
Come unto these yellow sands,
And then take hands;
31
Foot it featly here and there;
And, sweet sprites, the burden bear.
Chorus of Spirits.
Hark! hark!
The watch-dogs bark:
Hark! hark! I hear
The strain of Chanticleer.
Fer.
Where should this music be? I'the air, or the earth?
It sounds no more:—and sure, it waits upon
Some god o'th' island. Sitting on a bank,
Weeping again 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—
[Music.
No, it begins again—
SONG—BY ARIEL.
Full fathom five, thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that does fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change,
Into something rich and strange.
32
Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell;
Hark! now I hear them,—ding-dong, bell.
Fer.
This ditty does remember my drown'd father:—
This is no mortal business, nor no sound
That the earth owes.
[Ariel waves Ferdinand after him.
Chorus of Spirits.
Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell;
Hark! now I hear them,—ding-dong, bell.
[Exeunt.
