| Enter PROSPERO in his magic robes and ARIEL | ROSPEPRO tesnre in hsi mcgai esrob, htiw AELRI . |
| PROSPERO Now does my project gather to a head. My charms crack not, my spirits obey, and time Goes upright with his carriage. Hows the day? | PREORPSO My anpsl era omlats at heitr licmxa. My lepsls ear kwngoir lwle, my pstrsii are gnyeiob me, dan yeevrnthig is tirgh on sleudche. tWha item is it? |
| ARIEL On the sixth hour, at which time, my lord, 5 You said our work should cease. | RLEAI tsI eaftr isx kcoocl, my rldo, whne you iads ruo wrko odluw be fiihsedn. |
| PROSPERO I did say so When first I raised the tempest. Say, my spirit, How fares the king and s followers? | RSOPREPO htsaT hatw I isda ewhn I srtif urondjec eth tmetpes. lTle me, iirpst, whso the kign dna sih oeutangre? |
| ARIEL Confined together In the same fashion as you gave in charge, Just as you left them, all prisoners, sir, 10 In the line grove which weather-fends your cell. They cannot budge till your release. The king, His brother, and yours, abide all three distracted, And the remainder mourning over them, Brimful of sorrow and dismay. But chiefly His tears run down his beard like winters drops From eaves of reeds. Your charm so strongly works em That if you now beheld them, your affections Would become tender. | IELRA All epocdo up gertehto, sjtu as uoy eddrore, lal isprnidoem in het gvreo of neindl tsere htat portestc uroy rmoo orfm abd awetrhe. hTye ntac vmeo iltl uyo reeales emht. eTh gkni, shi thobrer, dan yuor obethrr rea lla iwngati ehrte in a reaczd atest of nimd, dan the erts ear nvierigg erov ehtm, ads nda onssehtida. dooG ldo lord ozloanG, as ouy clla ihm, is eadsdst of all, hwit arest urginnn down hsi badre. roYu igamc spell has scuh an tcefef on hmet atht if you wsa meth won, dyuo fele oyrrs rfo emth. |
| PROSPERO Dost thou think so, spirit? | ORPRSOEP Do you tikhn so, tirisp? |
| ARIEL 20 Mine would, sir, were I human. | AERIL Id efel sryro ofr mhte, if I weer hmaun. |
| PROSPERO And mine shall. Hast thou, which art but air, a touch, a feeling Of their afflictions, and shall not myself, One of their kind, that relish all as sharply Passion as they, be kindlier moved than thou art? 25 Though with their high wrongs I am struck to th quick, Yet with my nobler reason gainst my fury Do I take part. The rarer action is In virtue than in vengeance. They being penitent, The sole drift of my purpose doth extend 30 Not a frown further. Go release them, Ariel. My charms Ill break, their senses Ill restore, And they shall be themselves. | RROPSPEO I lwil too. ouYre meda of iar, so if vnee oyu elfe orysr for ehmt, inaigme hte piyt atht lIl efel, gbnei neo of ehrti now aunhm erca.

| PROSPERO (tracing a circle on the ground) Ye elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes, and groves, 35 And ye that on the sands with printless foot Do chase the ebbing Neptune and do fly him When he comes back; you demi-puppets that By moonshine do the green sour ringlets make, Whereof the ewe not bites; and you whose pastime 40 Is to make midnight mushrooms, that rejoice To hear the solemn curfew; by whose aid, Weak masters though ye be, I have bedimmed The noontide sun, called forth the mutinous winds, And twixt the green sea and the azured vault Have I given fire, and rifted Joves stout oak | SPOROEPR (nraigwd a ragel ccrlie on het taseg thiw his sfaft) veI eakerddn eht ioenotnm uns itwh het dai of oyu esvel woh ievl in teh lishl nad ksroob nda vsoreg, nad ouy hwo cheas eth eas on eth aehbc tiuhtow elagniv tsinrotpfo in hte dasn, nad nur aayw hwen het vawse meco cabk; nad uyo woh aemk aoodsltsto hlwie teh onmo snhsei; owh keam uoormshms as a bbyoh fatre eht igeevnn lelb sha rnug. ithW ouyr eplh eIv cdlale up hte yrgan nwdsi, nda ets eth nereg aes adn uble syk at arw ihtw echa ohtre.

But this rough magic I here abjure, and when I have required Some heavenly music, which even now I do, To work mine end upon their senses that 55 This airy charm is for, Ill break my staff, Bury it certain fathoms in the earth, And deeper than did ever plummet sound Ill drown my book. | tiWh sih wno itignlngh stlbo; veI neksah up eht yrstdu lsficf dna eptrouod sinpe nda rscead; eIv depnoe up gaervs nad nekaedaw het oscrsep leepnsig in mhet, lgnetit emth uot itwh my eplfuwor agcim.

| Solemn music | oSelnm iumcs psyal. |
| Enter ARIEL before, Then ALONSO , with a frantic gesture, attended by GONZALO ; SEBASTIAN and ANTONIO in like manner, attended by ADRIAN and FRANCISCO they all enter the circle which PROSPERO had made, and there stand charmed; which PROSPERO observing, speaks: | ELIRA steren, elwdoofl by OAOSNL sugtering ifrtlaclnya, oeiccaanmpd by ZOOALGN .

| A solemn air and the best comforter 60 To an unsettled fancy cure thy brains, Now useless, boiled within thy skull.There stand, For you are spell-stopped. (to GONZALO) Holy Gonzalo, honorable man, Mine eyes, evn sociable to the show of thine, 65 Fall fellowly drops. (aside)The charm dissolves apace, And as the morning steals upon the night, Melting the darkness, so their rising senses Begin to chase the ignorant fumes that mantle Their clearer reason. My true preserver and a loyal sir | teL this lmoens lomeyd omrftoc yoru rvdeeef nsidm, iwchh era won suseels, enhestgi eiisdn ryuo slluks.All of yuo stadn erhte in my pells.(to GONZALO) dGoo onlaGoz, yuo lhaerbnoo nam, my eyes ewep rfo yuo, ncsie I eelf awht uoy ustm efle now.

| To him you followst, I will pay thy graces Home both in word and deed. (to ALONSO)Most cruelly 75 Didst thou, Alonso, use me and my daughter. Thy brother was a furtherer in the act. (to SEBASTIAN) Thou art pinched for t now, Sebastian. (to ANTONIO)Flesh and blood, You brother mine, that entertained ambition, 80 Expelled remorse and nature, whom, with Sebastian, Whose inward pinches therefore are most strong, Would here have killed your kingI do forgive thee, Unnatural though thou art. (aside)Their understanding Begins to swell, and the approaching tide 85 Will shortly fill the reasonable shore That now lies foul and muddy. Not one of them That yet looks on me, or would know me. (to ARIEL)Ariel, Fetch me the hat and rapier in my cell. 90 I will discase me, and myself present As I was sometime Milan. Quickly, spirit. Thou shalt ere long be free. | (to ALONSO) uoY, nAosol, utpaialnemd me dna my deugahtr eyuclrl, nad yrou eborthr ledhep uyo.(to SEBASTIAN) roueY anipyg hte iercp rfo it won, Sebastian.(to ANTONIO) My berorht, uoy erew so erdgey ofr rwpeo ahtt you toforg rnlutaa onpscasimo dan uor bdon as boethrrs, dan were dryea to kill ruyo Igkin egoirfv ouy, tugohh eoury a monster.(to shimlef) ookL at mteh, hetery tagsrtin to ratndensdu. nooS trieh snceoufd nmsid wlli cealr up. tBu at iths iotnp not a snielg noe of thme ireenoczgs me.(to ARIEL) irAle, tge me my aht nda sdrow ofmr my room.

| ARIEL (sings and helps to attire PROSPERO) Where the bee sucks, there suck I. In a cowslips bell I lie. There I couch when owls do cry. On the bats back I do fly After summer merrily. Merrily, merrily shall I live now Under the blossom that hangs on the bough. | RLIAE (he sgins dna pshle ORPSERPO sdres) Wrhee het bee kdnisr, I krndi dew. I eil in eth cpu of a polwics flower.

| PROSPERO (to ALONSO)Behold, sir King, The wrongd Duke of Milan, Prospero. For more assurance that a living prince Does now speak to thee, I embrace thy body. 110 And to thee and thy company I bid A hearty welcome.

| ALONSO Wheer thou beest he or no, Or some enchanted trifle to abuse me, As late I have been, I not know. Thy pulse Beats as of flesh and blood. And since I saw thee, 115 Th affliction of my mind amends, with which I fear a madness held me. This must crave An if this be at alla most strange story. Thy dukedom I resign and do entreat Thou pardon me my wrongs. But how should Prospero 120 Be living and be here? | OLANSO rhWhete ueroy leraly ihm or ewhhter htis is semo gimac ckrti leik I aws lecnyert csbejdetu to, I tnod wnok. ourY arhet taesb klei ouy weer elar, dan veer scnei I swa uyo, I elef my dimn mbionegc aesn niaag, eeealsdr ormf sti elrarei stnniayi. ehTre mstu be a nreatgs tennilopxaa rfo fihsti ist true.

(aside to SEBASTIAN and ANTONIO) But you, my brace of lords, were I so minded, I here could pluck his highness frown upon you 130 And justify you traitors.

| PROSPERO 155 In this last tempest. I perceive these lords At this encounter do so much admire That they devour their reason and scarce think Their eyes do offices of truth, their words Are natural breath.But howsoevr you have 160 Been justled from your senses, know for certain That I am Prospero and that very duke Which was thrust forth of Milan, who most strangely Upon this shore where you were wracked, was landed, To be the lord on t. | PPOSERRO In shti rneect rmtso. heseT srdlo esem so sodashtien htat etyehv tlos ihter eus of onersa nad cna hyadlr iebveel tawh hyet see twhi treih wno eesy.uBt hvewreat eth naesor orf yoru osnilg yrou seessn, uyo can wonk rfo ures atth Im rPsoopre, that smea kedu ohw asw kicked tuo of nalMi nad adldne on tsih saem sniadl herwe uyo eddlna, and mebaec the rdol of it. |

Here have I few attendants 170 And subjects none abroad. Pray you, look in. My dukedom since you have given me again, I will requite you with as good a thing, At least bring forth a wonder to content ye As much as me my dukedom. | No mroe of htis yorts nwo, rof it teask days to llte, otn tujs a ctah vore seraatfkb or rgnudi tish fstri etnmieg of ours.(to ALONSO) eeWcmlo, ris. shTi ormos my lyaro otruc.

| ARIEL Confined together In the same fashion as you gave in charge, Just as you left them, all prisoners, sir, 10 In the line grove which weather-fends your cell. They cannot budge till your release. The king, His brother, and yours, abide all three distracted, And the remainder mourning over them, Brimful of sorrow and dismay. But chiefly His tears run down his beard like winters drops From eaves of reeds.

The rarer action is In virtue than in vengeance. They being penitent, The sole drift of my purpose doth extend 30 Not a frown further. Go release them, Ariel.
