But ere his leave Geraldo tooke

Of the strange isle, he burnt his booke,
And broke his magicke wand:

His arte forbid he aye forswore
Never to deale in magicke more,

The while the earth should stand.

From that day forth the Isle has beene By wandering sailors never seene : Some say 'tis buried deepe

Beneath the sea, which breakes and rores

Above its savage rockie shores,

Nor ere is knowne to sleepe.

In Sicilie the paire was wed;
To Arragon there after sped

With fathers who them blesst.
Alfonso rulde for many a yeare:

His people lovde him farre and neare,

But Ida lovde him best.

SETEBOS.

SETEBOS, god of the witch Sycorax, was a Patagonian deity mentioned by Richard Eden in his History of Travayle in the West and East Indies, and other countreys lying eyther way towards the fruitfull and rich Moluccaes.”

LAMPEDUSA

is an island midway between Malta and the African coast, in which Mr. Joseph Hunter has argued that we may find Prospero's island. He says "it is precisely in the situation which the circumstances of every part of the story require. Sailors from Algiers land Sycorax on its shores ; Prospero, sailing from an Italian port, and beating about at the mercy of the waves, is found at last at Lampedusa; Alonso, sailing from Tunis, and steering his course for Naples, is driven by a storm a little out of his track, and lights on Lampedusa."
