You nymphs, called Naiads, of the windring brooks,
With your sedged crowns and ever-harmless looks,
Leave your crisp channels and on this green land
Answer your summons; Juno does command:
Come, temperate nymphs, and help to celebrate
A contract of true love; be not too late.
– William Shakespeare
The Tempest, Act 4, Scene 1. The messenger goddess Iris asks the Naiads, or water spirits, to leave their rippling brooks and be present on the green land to celebrate the union of true lovers Miranda and Ferdinand.
