Tempest, Epilogue lyrics

by

William Shakespeare


Now my charms are all overthrown,
And what strength I have's mine own,
Which is most faint
: now, 'tis true,
I must be here confined by you,
Or sent 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 (10)
With the help of your good hands:
Gentle breath of yours my sails
Must fill
, or else my project fails,
Which was to please.
Now I want
Spirits to enforce, art to enchant,

And my ending is despair,
Unless I be relieved by prayer,
Which pierces so that it assaults
Mercy itself and frees all faults.
As you from crimes would pardon'd be, (20)
Let your indulgence set me free.
