Mr Shakespeare with a Sat navMr Shakespeare's thanks for a Satellite Navigation System

My thanks to you for this most magic choice.

You say that knowledge, docile in my hand,

Will speak, will guide me with a human voice

To smooth my journey through this foreign land?

Must I attend to her, the Ariel

Confined within this box by Prospero?

Her honeyed phrases softly fall to tell

Me, the tired traveller, of the miles to go.

Although my feet comply, my heart rebels

For in my mind no woman holds such sway;

I should be seeking out her velvet dells

And sweetly talking her to walk my way,

Until, impatient of all public spaces,

She navigates me to her private places.
