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-wawgh: the watch-dogs bark,
Bough-wawgh.
Ari.
Hark, hark, I hear
The strain of strutting chanticlere,
Cry Cock-a-doodle-do.
-- 20 --
Fer.
Where should this musick be? in air, or earth?
It sounds no more: and sure it waits upon
Some God o'th' Island. Sitting on a bank,
Weeping c note'against the King my father's wreck,
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.
Full fathom five thy father lyes,
Of his bones are coral made:
Those are pearls that were his eyes,
Nothing of him that doth fade,
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.
