Collection 3: "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare, from Act 5, Scene 1

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...

...and you whose pastime
Is to make midnight mushrooms, that rejoice
To hear the solemn curfew...

...and you whose pastime
Is to make midnight mushrooms, that rejoice
To hear the solemn curfew...

I have bedimmed
The noontide sun, called forth the mutinous winds,
And ’twixt the green sea and the azured vault
Set roaring war—to the dread rattling thunder
Have I given fire, and rifted Jove’s stout oak
With his own bolt...

Set roaring war—to the dread rattling thunder

...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.

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.
