While You Here Do Snoring Lie - Act Two Scene One

[Ariel sings in Gonzalo's ear]

"While you here do snoring lie,
Open-eyed conspiracy
His time doth take.
If of life you keep a care,
Shake off slumber, and beware:
Awake, awake!"

(Here, Ariel awakens Gonzalo from an enchanted sleep with this song, and saves him from being murdered by Sebastian. Again, Gonzalo is confused by the spirit’s voice and believes he heard only a “humming”.)
