MIRANDA sleeps Come away,servant,come.I am ready now. Approach,my Ariel,come. Enter ARIEL ARIEL All hail,great master!grave sir,hail!I come To answer thy best pleasure;be't to fly, To swim,to dive into the fire,to ride On the curl'd clouds,to thy strong bidding task Ariel and all his quality. PROSPERO Hast thou,spirit, Perform'd to point the tempest that I bade thee? ARIEL To every article. I boarded the king's ship;now on the beak, Now in the waist,the deck,in every cabin, I flamed amazement:sometime I'ld divide, And burn in many places;on the topmast, The yards and bowsprit,would I flame distinctly, Then meet and join.Jove's lightnings,the precursors 0'the dreadful thunder-claps,more momentary And sight-outrunning were not;the fire and cracks Of sulphurous roaring the most mighty Neptune Seem to besiege and make his bold waves tremble, Yea,his dread trident shake.
