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.

ARIEL’S SONG.

Full fathom five thy father lies,

Of his bones are coral made:

Those are pearls that were his eyes,
