SCENE I. The Sea.—A Ship in a Tempest. Ariel firing the Ship. Spirits of the Winds dancing.
Chorus by Spirits of the Storm.
Arise, ye terrors of the storm,
  Appall the guilty eye!
Tear the wild waves, ye mighty winds,
  Ye blasting lightnings, fly!
Dart thro' the Tempest of the deep,
  And rocks and seas confound!
[Loud Thunder.
Hark, how the vengeful thunders roll!
  Amazement flames around.
Behold,—the fate-devoted bark
  Dash'd on the trembling shore!
Mercy!—the sinking wretches cry,—
  Mercy!—they're heard no more.
[The Ship seems to founder.—Ariel and all the other Spirits disappear.
