Since I came to this ifle: and, in the morn,
I'll bring you to your ship; and so to Naples;
Where I have hope to fee the nuptials

[blocks in formation]

And promise you calm feas, aufpicious gales,
And fail fo expeditious, it fhall catch
Your royal fleet far off: my Ariel, chick,
That is thy charge: then to the elements

Be free, and fare thou well! Please you, draw near.

[Exeuut omnes.

EPILOGUE.

Spoken by PROSPERO.

[ocr errors]

OW my charms are all d'er-thrown,
And what strength I have's mine own;
Which is moft faint: and now, 'tis true,
I must be here confin'd by you,
Or fent to Naples. Let me not,
Since I have my dukedom got,
And pardon'd the deceiver, dwell
In this bare ifland by your spell;
But release me from my bands,
With the help of your good hands.
Gentle breath of yours my fails
Muft fill, or else my project fails,
Which was to pleafe. For now I want
Spirits t' enforce, art to enchant;
And my ending is defpair,

Unless I be reliev'd by prayer;

Which pierces fo, that it affaults

Mercy itself, and frees all faults.

As you from crimes would pardon'd be,
Let your indulgence fet me free.
