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.

-Shakespeare, The Tempest
