That is thy charge: then to the elements

Be free, and fare thou well! Please you, draw near.

EPILOGUE.

Spoken by PROSPERO.

NOW

OW my charms are all d'er-thrown,
And what strength I have's mine own;

Which is most faint: and now, 'tis true,
I must be here confin'd by you,
Or fent to Naples. Let me not,
Since I have my dukedom got,
And pardon'd the deceiver, dwell
In this bare island by your spell;
But release me from my bands,
With the help of your good hands.
Gentle breath of yours my fails
Must fill, or else my project fails,
Which was to please. For now I want
Spirits t' enforce, art to enchant ;
And my ending is despair,

Unless I be reliev'd by prayer;

Which pierces fo, that it afsfaults

Mercy itself, and frees all faults.

As you from crimes would pardon'd be,
Let your indulgence fet me free.
