for the name of king? To cabin: silence! trouble us not. |
GONZALO: |
Good, yet remember whom thou hast aboard. |
Boatswain: |
None that I more love than myself. You are a |
counsellor; if you can command these elements to |
silence, and work the peace of the present, we will |
not hand a rope more; use your authority: if you |
cannot, give thanks you have lived so long, and make |
yourself ready in your cabin for the mischance of |
the hour, if it so hap. Cheerly, good hearts! Out |
of our way, I say. |
GONZALO: |
I have great comfort from this fellow: methinks he |
hath no drowning mark upon him; his complexion is |
perfect gallows. Stand fast, good Fate, to his |
hanging: make the rope of his destiny our cable, |
for our own doth little advantage. If he be not |
born to be hanged, our case is miserable. |
Boatswain: |
Down with the topmast! yare! lower, lower! Bring |
her to try with main-course. |
A plague upon this howling! they are louder than |
the weather or our office. |
Yet again! what do you here? Shall we give o'er |
and drown? Have you a mind to sink? |
SEBASTIAN: |
A pox o' your throat, you bawling, blasphemous, |
incharitable dog! |
Boatswain: |
Work you then. |
ANTONIO: |
Hang, cur! hang, you whoreson, insolent noisemaker! |
We are less afraid to be drowned than thou art. |
GONZALO: |
I'll warrant him for drowning; though the ship were |
no stronger than a nutshell and as leaky as an |
unstanched wench. |
Boatswain: |
Lay her a-hold, a-hold! set her two courses off to |
sea again; lay her off. |
Mariners: |
All lost! to prayers, to prayers! all lost! |
Boatswain: |
What, must our mouths be cold? |
GONZALO: |
The king and prince at prayers! let's assist them, |
For our case is as theirs. |
SEBASTIAN: |
I'm out of patience. |
ANTONIO: |
We are merely cheated of our lives by drunkards: |
This wide-chapp'd rascal--would thou mightst lie drowning |
The washing of ten tides! |
GONZALO: |
He'll be hang'd yet, |
Though every drop of water swear against it |
And gape at widest to glut him. |
ANTONIO: |
Let's all sink with the king. |
SEBASTIAN: |
Let's take leave of him. |
GONZALO: |
Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea for an |
acre of barren ground, long heath, brown furze, any |
thing. The wills above be done! but I would fain |
die a dry death. |
MIRANDA: |
If by your art, my dearest father, you have |
Put the wild waters in this roar, allay them. |
The sky, it seems, would pour down stinking pitch, |
But that the sea, mounting to the welkin's cheek, |
Dashes the fire out. O, I have suffered |
With those that I saw suffer: a brave vessel, |
Who had, no doubt, some noble creature in her, |
Dash'd all to pieces. O, the cry did knock |
Against my very heart. Poor souls, they perish'd. |
Had I been any god of power, I would |
Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere |
It should the good ship so have swallow'd and |
The fraughting souls within her. |
