Geh Ariel
Prospero:
Geh Ariel bring den Sturm
zum Schweigen und
wirf die Betäubten an den Strand
Ich brauch sie
lebend, damit ich sie töten kann
Miranda:
Vater warum?
Go Ariel
Prospero
Go, Ariel, silence
the storm and
throw the stupefied onto the beach
I need them
Alive, that I might kill them
Miranda
Why, Father?
