| Enter PROSPERO in his magic robes and ARIEL | PERSROPO nerest in ish magci eosbr, wtih AIRLE . |
| 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? | RPEPSORO My pslan era soatlm at ihert cimlax. My plssel rea rgowkni ewll, my rtpissi rae eniygob me, dan gyivneehrt is tgihr on ehcesuld. Whta meit is it? |
| ARIEL On the sixth hour, at which time, my lord, 5 You said our work should cease. | AERIL tsI freta sxi oocclk, my lord, wnhe oyu dias uro work ldouw be hfdniesi. |
| PROSPERO I did say so When first I raised the tempest. Say, my spirit, How fares the king and s followers? | PSRREPOO haTst athw I said henw I frsit cejdunor eth tetesmp. Tell me, ptiirs, swho the kgni nda his uogeartne? |
| 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. | ILEAR lAl pcodeo up trehegot, tsju as uyo eordred, lal idspimrone in eht egrov of lidnen reset ahtt rtstopec uory mroo fmro abd awehrte.

| PROSPERO Dost thou think so, spirit? | RPROEOSP Do oyu ihtkn so, ristip? |
| ARIEL 20 Mine would, sir, were I human. | AERIL Id elef sroyr orf tmhe, if I rewe namhu. |
| 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. | EPRROSPO I wlli oto. oeYur aemd of iar, so if eevn you eelf rrsoy fro hetm, miaiegn eht ypit htta llI efel, binge one of thrie won haumn reac.

| 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 | OSROPPER (dwigran a raleg irclce on eth segat twih ihs tfsaf) evI karneedd teh neotomin nus ihtw eht aid of oyu esvel woh ivel in het lshli adn okrbso nda egvros, adn ouy how esahc eht ase on teh bheac htuiwto egvlnia oprnfttsoi in eth snda, dna unr aawy ehwn eht easvw omec cbka; nad you woh emka asdlostoto hliew eht noom essnih; woh kmae osmsohmur as a bbhyo trfae hte geneinv lble has urgn. tWhi royu elph veI llcade up hte gaynr nsdwi, and ste eht rnege sea and lueb kys at war wtih ceah reoht.

| With his own bolt; the strong-based promontory Have I made shake, and by the spurs plucked up The pine and cedar; graves at my command 50 Have waked their sleepers, oped, and let em forth By my so potent art. 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. | hWit hsi onw lhingntgi tobls; eIv nshkea up eth tdrusy flscif nda urtopdoe insep adn srdcae; eIv pdneoe up svrgea nad eednakwa het psroesc gpsneeli in etmh, entligt hmte uot hwti my puefowrl aigmc. tuB I srnerdrue lla sthi imacg nwo, enhw Ive soudnemm meso yveanelh msuci to sact a slepl, as Im odnig wno, llI kreba my tsfaf dan uybr it arf ndrerduuong, and hrtwo my book of cagmi lsepsl redpee tnoi the aes htna yna ohcran reev nask. |
| Solemn music | lSmnoe uicsm lsyap. |
| 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: | LRIAE nerest, ofllwode by NAOSLO unrsggiet fniylalactr, ocacniapmed by ZAGONLO .

| 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 | etL iths neoslm omeyld mcorfto oryu evfedre nmisd, ichhw aer nwo seeulss, ienhgste edinis ruyo llssku.All of uyo sadnt ereth in my lpsel.(to GONZALO) oGod lnoaGzo, oyu banohorle nam, my esey weep for uyo, senci I flee thaw you sumt fele won.

| 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) Yuo, oolnsA, tniadupaelm me nad my tauhedgr crullye, dna oruy bthrore peledh uyo.(to SEBASTIAN) rouYe npigya eht peric rof it own, Sebastian.(to ANTONIO) My thrrebo, yuo ewer so erydeg ofr wpeor htat you otgofr aatulnr siomanopcs nda our bnod as sehrbotr, dna rewe erayd to lkli ruyo gIink gvoeirf yuo, hhoutg ueryo a monster.(to limhesf) kLoo at mhte, hteyer nriatstg to eaudrsntnd. nooS trehi necdufso imdns llwi alecr up. uBt at hist intop not a lnsieg oen of htme egsoziecrn me.(to ARIEL) reilA, egt me my tah dan rdwos rofm my oomr. llI akte off eht tcoeshl Im agirwne nwo, and ptu on eht osen I seud to eawr in aMlni.oonS, pisrti, llouy be feer. |
| 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. | LAIER (he sngis dna eshpl OPPRRSOE drsse) eWrhe teh ebe sinkdr, I rkndi dew. I eli in het cup of a iclpswo 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? | LNOOAS eeWthhr ouyre aelyrl imh or twhereh htsi is osem gimac ckrti iekl I asw eelynctr becjtudse to, I odtn wnok.

(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. | ROOPPRSE In thsi cnteer omstr.

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.
