Ariel im »Sturm«: 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.

Woman alone from my curse can rescue me, Woman who true unto death will be. I have thy vow of constancy, But not in the Eternal’s presence; This from cruel fate will save thee; For those who break their vow to me, Damned in all eternity will be! Thou shalt be saved, thou only! Farewell, farewell! for all eternity My curse will cleave to hapless me! Zu Hülfe, rettet, rettet Sie! Help! help quick!
