THE TEMPEST
165
There I couch when owls do cry.
On the bat’s back I do fly
After summer merrily.
Merrily, merrily shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.

After summer merrily.
Merrily, merrily shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
Prospero.
Why, that’s my dainty Ariel! I shall miss thee;
But yet thou shalt have freedom: so, so, so.
To the king’s ship, invisible as thou art:
There shalt thou find the mariners asleep
Under the hatches; the master and the boatswain
Being awake, enforce them to this place,
And presently, I prithee.

Ariel.
I drink the air before me, and return
Or ere your pulse twice beat.
Or ere your pulse twice beat.
Gonzalo.
All torment, trouble, wonder and amazement
Inhabits here; some heavenly power guide us
Out of this fearful country!
Inhabits here; some heavenly power guide us
Out of this fearful country!
Prospero.
Out of this fearful country! Behold, sir king,
The wronged Duke of Milan, Prospero:
For more assurance that a living prince
Does now speak to thee, I embrace thy body;
And to thee and thy company I bid
A hearty welcome.

Alonso.
A hearty welcome. Whether thou be’st he or no,
Or some enchanted trifle to abuse me,
As late I have been, I not know: thy pulse
Or some enchanted trifle to abuse me,
As late I have been, I not know: thy pulse
