What howling whirlwinds rend the sky!

The conscious sun turns back his eye,
And nature, trembling, owns their pow'r.

7. Thomas Linley - Arise! ye spirits of the storm
Music for The Tempest - Thomas Linley
Chorus:
Arise! ye spirits of the storm,
Appal the guilty eye;
Tear the wild waves, ye mighty winds,
Ye fated lightnings fly,
Dart thro' the tempest of the deep,
And rocks and seas confound,
Hark how the vengeful thunder roars,
Amazement flames around.
Behold! the fate-devoted bark
Dash'd on the trembling shore;
Mercy! the sinking wretches cry!
Mercy! - they're heard no more.
Paul Nicholson/Peter Holman The Parley of Instruments Baroque Orchestra and Choir
