Another part of the island.
[Enter CALIBAN, with a bottle, STEPHANO, and TRINCULO.]
STEPHANO.
Tell not me, when the butt is out we will drink water, not a drop before:
therefore bear up, and board 'em. Servant-monster, drink to me.
TRINCULO.
Servant-monster? The folly of this island, they say there's but five upon
this isle; we are three of them, if the other two be brained like us, the
state totters.
STEPHANO.
Drink servant-monster when I bid thee, thy eyes are almost set in thy
head.
TRINCULO.
Where should they be set else? He were a brave monster indeed if they were
set in his tail.
STEPHANO.
My man-monster hath drowned his tongue in sack: for my part the sea cannot
drown me, I swam ere I could recover the shore, five-and-thirty leagues
off and on, by this light thou shalt be my lieutenant monster, or my
standard.
TRINCULO.
Your lieutenant if you list, he's no standard.
STEPHANO.
We'll not run Monsieur monster.
TRINCULO.
Nor go neither: but you'll lie like dogs, and yet say nothing neither.
STEPHANO.
Moon-calf, speak once in thy life, if thou beest a good moon-calf.
CALIBAN.

How does | thy hon|or? Let | me lick | thy shoe:
,
, , ,
,
I'll not | serve^him,| he is | not val/iant.
TRINCULO.
Thou liest most ignorant monster, I am in case to justle a constable: why,
thou deboshed fish thou, was there ever man a coward that hath drunk so much
sack as I today? Wilt thou tell a monstrous lie, being but half a fish, and
half a monster?
CALIBAN.
Lo, how he mocks me, wilt thou let him, my lord?
TRINCULO.
Lord, quoth he? That a monster should be such a natural?
CALIBAN.
Lo, lo again: bite him to death I prithee.
STEPHANO.
Trinculo, keep a good tongue in your head: if you prove a mutineer, the next
tree: The poor monster's my subject, and he shall not suffer indignity.
CALIBAN.
I thank my noble lord. Wilt thou be pleased to hearken once again to the
suit I made to thee?
STEPHANO.

o
Marry will I: kneel, and repeat it,
, ,
, ,
,
I will stand, and so shall Trinculo.
[Enter ARIEL, invisible]
CALIBAN.
, ,
, ,
,
As I told thee before, I am subject to a tyrant,
, ,
, ,
,
A sorcerer, that by his
cunning hath cheated me
, ,
, ,
,
Of the island.
ARIEL.
, ,
, ,
,
Thou liest.
CALIBAN.
, ,
, ,
,
Thou liest, thou jesting monkey thou:
, ,
, ,
,
I would my valiant master would
destroy thee.
, ,
, ,
,
I do not lie.
STEPHANO.
, ,
, ,
,
Trinculo, if you trouble him any more in his tale,
, ,
, ,
,
By this hand, I will
supplant some of your teeth.
TRINCULO.
, ,
, ,
,
Why, I said nothing.
STEPHANO.
, ,
, ,
,
Mum then, and no more: Proceed.
CALIBAN.
, , ,
, ,
I say | by sor|cery | he got | this isle
, ,
, , ,
From me,| he got | it. If | thy great|ness will
, ,
, , ,
Revenge | it on | him (for | I know | thou darst)
, T T T
But this | thing dare not.
STEPHANO.
,
,
That's most | certain.
CALIBAN.
,
, , ,
,
Thou shalt | be lord | of it,| and I'll / serve
thee.
STEPHANO.
, ,
, ,
,
How now shall this be compassed?
, ,
, ,
,
Canst thou bring me to the party?
CALIBAN.
T T . T ,
, ,
Yea, yea my lord:| I'll yield | him thee | asleep,

Where thou | mayst knock | a nail | into | his head.

gone,

T T T ,

He shall | drink nought but | brine, for | I'll not ||
show him

Where the / quick fresh|es are.|
STEPHANO.
Trinculo, run into no further danger:
Interrupt the monster one word further,
and by this hand, I'll turn my mercy out of doors, and make a stock-fish of
thee.
TRINCULO.
Why, what did I? I did nothing:
I'll go farther off.
STEPHANO.
Didst thou not say he lied?
ARIEL.
Thou liest.
STEPHANO.
Do I so? Take thou that,
As you like this, give me the
lie another time.
TRINCULO.
I did not give the lie: out of your wits, and hearing too?
A pox on your bottle, this can sack and drinking do: A murrain on your
monster, and the devil take your fingers.
CALIBAN.
Ha, ha, ha.
STEPHANO.
Now forward with your tale: Prithee stand further off.
CALIBAN.
Beat him enough: after a little time
I'll beat him too.
STEPHANO.
Stand farther: Come proceed.

STEPHANO.
Monster, I will kill this man: his daughter and I will be king and queen,
save our graces: and Trinculo and thyself shall be viceroys:
Dost thou like
the plot Trinculo?
TRINCULO.
Excellent.
STEPHANO.

Give me thy hand, I am sorry I beat thee:

But while thou livst, keep a good
tongue in thy head.
CALIBAN.

Within | this half | hour will | he be | asleep,

Wilt thou | destroy | him then?

CALIBAN.
That's not the tune.
[ARIEL plays the tune on a Tabor and Pipe.]
STEPHANO.
What is this same?
TRINCULO.
This is the tune of our catch, played by the picture of Nobody.
STEPHANO.
If thou beest a man, show thyself in thy likeness: if thou beest a devil,
take it as thou list.
TRINCULO.
O forgive me my sins.
STEPHANO.
He that dies pays all debts: I defy thee. Mercy upon us.
CALIBAN.
Art thou afeard?
STEPHANO.
No monster, not I.
CALIBAN.
