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
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.

CALIBAN
Don’t be scared. This island is full of noises, strange
sounds and sweet melodies that make you feel good and
don’t hurt anyone. Sometimes I hear a thousand twanging
instruments hum at my ears, and sometimes voices that send me back
to sleep even if I had just woken up—and then I dreamed
of clouds opening up and dropping such riches on me that when I woke
up, I cried because I wanted to dream again.

This’ll be a wonderful kingdom to live in, where they
play music for free.

Lead us, monster; we’ll follow. I wish I could see this
