Come-Amen! I will pour some in thy other mouth.TRINCULO.Stephano! STEPHANO.Doth thy other mouth call me? Mercy, mercy! This is a devil, and no monster; I will leave him; I have no long spoon.TRINCULO.Stephano! If thou beest Stephano, touch me, and speak to me; for I am Trinculo-be not afeard-thy good friend Trinculo.STEPHANO.If thou beest Trinculo, come forth; I'll pull the by the lesser legs; if any be Trinculo's legs, these are they.Thou art very Trinculo indeed! How cam'st thou to be the siege of this moon-calf? Can he vent Trinculos? TRINCULO.I took him to be kill'd with a thunderstroke.But art thou not drown'd, Stephano? I hope now thou are not drown'd.Is the storm overblown? I hid me under the dead moon-calf's gaberdine for fear of the storm.And art thou living, Stephano? O Stephano, two Neapolitans scap'd! STEPHANO.Prithee, do not turn me about; my stomach is not constant.CALIBAN.[Aside] These be fine things, an if they be not sprites.That's a brave god, and bears celestial liquor.I will kneel to him.STEPHANO.How didst thou scape? How cam'st thou hither? Swear by this bottle how thou cam'st hither-I escap'd upon a butt of sack, which the sailors heaved o'erboard- by this bottle, which I made of the bark of a tree, with mine own hands, since I was cast ashore.CALIBAN.I'll swear upon that bottle to be thy true subject, for the liquor is not earthly.STEPHANO.Here; swear then how thou escap'dst.TRINCULO.Swum ashore, man, like a duck; I can swim like a duck, I'll be sworn.STEPHANO.[Passing the bottle] Here, kiss the book.Though thou canst swim like a duck, thou art made like a goose.TRINCULO.O Stephano, hast any more of this? STEPHANO.The whole butt, man; my cellar is in a rock by th' seaside, where my wine is hid.How now, moon-calf! How does thine ague? CALIBAN.Hast thou not dropp'd from heaven? STEPHANO.Out o' th' moon, I do assure thee; I was the Man i' th' Moon, when time was.CALIBAN.I have seen thee in her, and I do adore thee.My mistress show'd me thee, and thy dog and thy bush.STEPHANO.Come, swear to that; kiss the book.I will furnish it anon with new contents.Swear.[CALIBAN drinks] TRINCULO.By this good light, this is a very shallow monster! I afeard of him! A very weak monster! The Man i' th' Moon! A most poor credulous monster! Well drawn, monster, in good sooth!
CALIBAN.I'll show thee every fertile inch o' th' island; and will kiss thy foot.I prithee be my god.TRINCULO.By this light, a most perfidious and drunken monster! When's god's asleep he'll rob his bottle.CALIBAN.I'll kiss thy foot; I'll swear myself thy subject.STEPHANO.Come on, then; down, and swear.TRINCULO.I shall laugh myself to death at this puppy- headed monster.A most scurvy monster! I could find in my heart to beat him- STEPHANO.Come, kiss.TRINCULO.But that the poor monster's in drink.An abominable monster! CALIBAN.I'll show thee the best springs; I'll pluck thee berries; I'll fish for thee, and get thee wood enough.A plague upon the tyrant that I serve! I'll bear him no more sticks, but follow thee, Thou wondrous man.TRINCULO.A most ridiculous monster, to make a wonder of a poor drunkard! CALIBAN.I prithee let me bring thee where crabs grow; And I with my long nails will dig thee pig-nuts; Show thee a jay's nest, and instruct thee how To snare the nimble marmoset; I'll bring thee To clust'ring filberts, and sometimes I'll get thee Young scamels from the rock.Wilt thou go with me? STEPHANO.I prithee now, lead the way without any more talking.Trinculo, the King and all our company else being drown'd, we will inherit here.Here, bear my bottle.Fellow Trinculo, we'll fill him by and by again.CALIBAN.[Sings drunkenly] Farewell, master; farewell, farewell! TRINCULO.A howling monster; a drunken monster! CALIBAN.No more dams I'll make for fish; Nor fetch in firing At requiring, Nor scrape trenchering, nor wash dish.'Ban 'Ban, Ca-Caliban, Has a new master-Get a new man.Freedom, high-day! high-day, freedom! freedom, high- day, freedom! STEPHANO.O brave monster! Lead the way.[Exeunt]
