SCENE V.
Enter Ferdinand; and Ariel invisible, playing and singing.
ARIEL's SONG.
Come unto these yellow sands,
And then take hands:
Curt'sied when you have, and kist
(The wild waves whist;)
Foot it featly here and there,
And, sweet sprites, the burthen bear.
Burthen, dispersedly.
Hark, hark, bough-waugh: the watch-dogs bark,
Baugh-waugh.
Ari.
Hark, hark, I hear
The strain of strutting chanticlere
Cry, Cock-a-doodle-do.
Fer.
Where should this Musick be, i'th' 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,
-- 23 --
This musick 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.
ARIEL's SONG.
6 note
Full fathom five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made:
Those are pearls, that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
-- 24 --
But doth suffer a sea-change,
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell.
Hark, now I hear them, ding-dong, bell.
[Burthen: ding-dong.
Fer.
The ditty does remember my drown'd father;
This is no mortal business, nor no sound
That the earth owns: I hear it now above me.
