Includes a sleeping Miranda. From Shakespeare’s The Tempest. ARIEL sings Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes: Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell

It's unusual to see a person of color so prominently featured in a mainstream publication at the time, even if it was as a servant. She is reading, though, which suggests that she's a more serious person than her sunbathing mistress.
