   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   
      
   though it will have to be slow increasing. Also I   
   think my copy of the Collected Works of Shakespeare   
   might have “in the very end of harvest”.   
      
   Also with all the floods and drought and wildfires   
   and plagues of insects the last two verses are   
   less certain, depending on what we do. But perhaps   
   there can be a volcanic eruption which would cool   
   the planet for a few years, buying us a bit of time.
