The Complete Works of William Shakespeare

Mira. Heavens thank you for't! And now, I
pray you, sir,-

For still 'tis beating in my mind, -your

Thou art inclin'd to sleep; 'tis a good dulness,
And give it way; -I know thou canst not

[MIRANDA sleeps.
Come away, servant, come! I'm ready now.
Approach, my Ariel; come!

Enter ARIEL.

Ari.

Close by, my master. 216

Pro. But are they, Ariel, safe?
Ari.

Not a hair perish'd;

On their sustaining garments not a blemish,
But fresher than before: and, as thou bad'st me,

To answer other business. Shrug'st thou, malice?
If thou neglect'st, or dost unwillingly
What I command, I'll rack thee with old cramps,
Fill all thy bones with aches; make thee roar,
That beasts shall tremble at thy din.

That burn by day and night: and then I lov'd

[Burden: Bow, wow, dispersedly.

The watch-dogs bark:

Cursed be I that did so! - All the charms
