TEXT FERDINAND Where should this music be? I’th’air or th’earth?

Sitting on a bank, Weeping again the King my father’s wrack, This music crept by me upon the waters, Allaying both their fury and my passion With its sweet air. Thence I have followed it, Or it hath drawn me, rather. But ’tis gone.

No, it begins again.

ARIEL Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange.

Shakespeare: The Tempest
