from Metamorphoses
Ye Elves of hils, brooks, standing lakes and groves,
And ye, that on the sands with printlesse foote
Doe chase the ebbing Neptune, and do flie him
When he comes backe: you demy-Puppets, that
By Moone-shine doe the greene sowre Ringlets make,
Whereof the Ewe not bites: and you, whose pastime
Is to make midnight Mushrumps, that rejoyce
To heare the solemne Curfewe, by whose ayde
(Weake Masters though ye be) I have bedymn'd
The Noone-tide Sun, call'd forthe the mutenous windes,
And twixt the greene Sea, and the azur'd vault
Set roaring warre: To the dread ratling Thunder
Have I given fire, and rifted Joves stowt Oke
With his owne Bolt: The strong bass'd promontorie
Have I made shake, and by the spurs pluckt up
The Pyne, and Cedar. Graves at my command
Have wak'd their sleepers, op'd, and let 'em forth
By my so potent Art.
– Ovid (43 BC-AD 17), adapted by William Shakespeare (1612)
(Medea's invocation in Ovid becomes Prospero's in The Tempest)
