To lay upon the damn’d, which Sycorax [290]
Could not again undo: it was mine Art,
When I arriv’d and heard thee, that made gape
The pine, and let thee out.

ARIEL
I thank thee, master.

PROSPERO
If thou more murmur’st, I will rend an oak,
And peg thee in his knotty entrails, till [295]
Thou hast howl’d away twelve winters.

ARIEL
Pardon, master:

I will be correspondent to command,
And do my spriting gently.

PROSPERO
Do so; and after two days
I will discharge thee.

ARIEL
That’s my noble master!
What shall I do? say what; what shall I do? [300]

PROSPERO
Go make thyself like a nymph o’ th’ sea:
Be subject to
No sight but thine and mine; invisible
To every eyeball else. Go take this shape,

And hither come in’t: go, hence [305]
With diligence.
Exit [Ariel].
Awake, dear heart, awake! thou hast slept well;

Awake!
