   Newfoundland celtic rock band Figgy Duff, on their album   
   After the Tempest, recorded Honour, Riches (song from   
   The Tempest, sung by Pamela Morgan).   
      
   The song from the Tempest goes:   
      
   Honour, riches, marriage blessing   
   Long continuance and increasing   
   Hourly joys be still upon you   
   Juno sings her blessings on you   
      
   Earth's increase foison plenty   
   Barns and garners never empty   
   Vines with clustering bunches growing   
   Plants with goodly burden bowing   
      
   Spring come to you at the farthest   
   At the very end of harvest   
   Scarcity and want shall shun you   
   Ceres blessing so is on you   
      
   (Except in The Tempest I think it might say “In the very end of harvest”   
   but I don’t have my Collected Works of Shakespeare handy to check it.)   
      
   When I was searching for the lyrics among my old   
   posts via http://groups.google.com I rediscovered   
   that from the night of September 14 to the morning   
   of September 15, 1995 I did a combined fall   
   equinox and new moon ritual in which I first taped   
   a compilation tape and then played it just before   
   and at dawn.   
      
   The tape ends with these three songs:   
   Rawlins Cross: Long Night   
   Thomas Trio &  the Red Albino: Sun Risin'   
   Figgy Duff: Honour, Riches (song from The Tempest, sung by Pamela Morgan)
