D1 llnihemitg of Btwn uni CI Your Ariel sends, Prince Ferdinand, This tohen, from the desert sand FVhere he, for some misdeed, was sent lVithin a mortal body pent. If you accept his simple song, He cares not for the restless throng. If he could fly-as once he could, Ulhen Prospero ,freed him from the wood He 'd swiftly mount beyond the moon To fetch you star-dust for a boon. But ah! He has nor wings to mount Nor charms to reach the magic fount, S o this imperfect song of words I s all he has. The very birds May moclc at him, once free as they, As uncontrolled, as light, as gay. Yet, Ferdinand , what Ariel owns I s yours, and no fairy stones Through which the iridescent light Of translunary regions bright Forever plays, all air and fire, And drossless as an angel's lyre, Be his, accept this dusty shell In which, long since, was wont to dwell Some citizen of 0cean's caves, E 'er mountains stepped above theywabes, Wlien all this mighty Western world, Unknown to men, through space was hurled Unnumbered ages. Guard it well, For in its stony midst doth dwell The heart of Ariel, which to you He gives, as tribute justly due. A. B. M.
