CALIBAN:
-
Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices(140)
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked
I cried to dream again.(145)

Don’t be afraid: the island is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight, and don’t hurt.
Sometimes a thousand twanging instruments
Will hum about my ears; and sometimes voices,
That, if I then had wakened after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds I thought would open and show riches
Ready to drop on me; that, when I wakened,
I cried to dream again.
