Often at the back of a Shakespeare text is a glossary of words deemed to be a bit difficult to understand or whose meaning may have changed over the years. Here I attempt a sound poem using some of the words from the glossary.
Tempest Sound
abroad abysm accidents
advance against an oracle
anger so distempered
barnacles bark bolt
Caliban candied canker
cast ceres certes charms
deliver demi-puppets
discharge distempered ditty
elements ending entertainment
exeunt exit extirpate
fancy fathom fearful
flote fowl weather frustrate
got hag-seed heaviness
Indi indulgence Iris issue
Jove justify laughter league
list liver
mid-season mind monster moon-calf
murrain Naples Neptune nymph
observation strange
pageant Paradise party pass of pate
perdition pickle plummet
presently probable professes project
properly Prospero provision
quaint quality quickens rabble
salvage sanctimonious sans save
scape Setebos
still-vexed sulphurous swabber Sycorax
tight and yare
topsail traffic travail Trinculo
trumpery vanity vast of night welkin
