The spell is quickly dissipating, and like dawn sneaking up on the night and melting the darkness, their normal senses begin to creep up past the daze that right now clouds their minds. Good Gonzalo, you honorable man, I sympathize with what your crying eyes show that you are feeling, and my eyes cry too. Some solemn music is the best for comforting and curing restless minds, which right now are useless-burning with passions inside your skulls. I will discase me, and myself present As I was sometime Milan. Ariel, Fetch me the hat and rapier in my cell. Not one of them That yet looks on me, or would know me. Their understanding Begins to swell, and the approaching tide Will shortly fill the reasonable shore That now lies foul and muddy. Flesh and blood, You brother mine, that entertained ambition, Expelled remorse and nature, whom, with Sebastian, Whose inward pinches therefore are most strong, Would here have killed your king-I do forgive thee, Unnatural though thou art. Most cruelly Didst thou, Alonso, use me and my daughter. O good Gonzalo, My true preserver and a loyal sir To him you follow’st, I will pay thy graces Home both in word and deed. 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. Holy Gonzalo, honorable man, Mine eyes, ev'n sociable to the show of thine, Fall fellowly drops. Then I'll bury it deep underground, and throw my book of magic into the sea so that it sinks farther than any anchor has ever reached.Ī solemn air and the best comforter To an unsettled fancy cure thy brains, Now useless, boiled within thy skull. And after I have conjured some heavenly music-as I’m doing now- to achieve my goal of affecting the senses of those at whom I aim my spell, I’ll break my staff.
With my strong magic, I've woken the dead and opened their graves to let them out. I've made the sturdy cliffs shake, and pulled up pine and cedar trees by the roots. I've shot off the dreadful rumbling thunderbolt, and burned up Jupiter's strong oak with his own lightning.

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 This airy charm is for, I’ll break my staff, Bury it certain fathoms in the earth, And deeper than did ever plummet sound I’ll drown my book. Ye elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes, and groves, 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 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 Set roaring war-to th' dread rattling thunder Have I given fire, and rifted Jove’s stout oak 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 Have waked their sleepers, oped, and let 'em forth By my so potent art.
