STEPHANO. So is mine. Do you hear, monster? If I should |
take a displeasure against you, look you- |
TRINCULO. Thou wert but a lost monster. |
CALIBAN. Good my lord, give me thy favour still. |
Be patient, for the prize I'll bring thee to |
Shall hoodwink this mischance; therefore speak softly. |
All's hush'd as midnight yet. |
TRINCULO. Ay, but to lose our bottles in the pool! |
STEPHANO. There is not only disgrace and dishonour in |
that, monster, but an infinite loss. |
TRINCULO. That's more to me than my wetting; yet this is |
your harmless fairy, monster. |
STEPHANO. I will fetch off my bottle, though I be o'er |
ears for my labour. |
CALIBAN. Prithee, my king, be quiet. Seest thou here, |
This is the mouth o' th' cell; no noise, and enter. |
Do that good mischief which may make this island |
Thine own for ever, and I, thy Caliban, |
For aye thy foot-licker. |
STEPHANO. Give me thy hand. I do begin to have bloody |
thoughts. |
TRINCULO. O King Stephano! O peer! O worthy Stephano! |
Look what a wardrobe here is for thee! |
CALIBAN. Let it alone, thou fool; it is but trash. |
TRINCULO. O, ho, monster; we know what belongs to a |
frippery. O King Stephano! |
STEPHANO. Put off that gown, Trinculo; by this hand, I'll |
have that gown. |
TRINCULO. Thy Grace shall have it. |
CALIBAN. The dropsy drown this fool! What do you mean |
To dote thus on such luggage? Let 't alone, |
And do the murder first. If he awake, |
From toe to crown he'll fill our skins with pinches; |
Make us strange stuff. |
STEPHANO. Be you quiet, monster. Mistress line, is not |
this my jerkin? Now is the jerkin under the line; now, |
jerkin, you are like to lose your hair, and prove a bald |
jerkin. |
TRINCULO. Do, do. We steal by line and level, an't like |
your Grace. |
STEPHANO. I thank thee for that jest; here's a garment |
for't. Wit shall not go unrewarded while I am king of |
this country. 'Steal by line and level' is an excellent |
pass of pate; there's another garmet for't. |
TRINCULO. Monster, come, put some lime upon your fingers, |
and away with the rest. |
CALIBAN. I will have none on't. We shall lose our time, |
And all be turn'd to barnacles, or to apes |
With foreheads villainous low. |
STEPHANO. Monster, lay-to your fingers; help to bear this |
away where my hogshead of wine is, or I'll turn you out |
of my kingdom. Go to, carry this. |
TRINCULO. And this. |
STEPHANO. Ay, and this. |
A noise of hunters beard. Enter divers SPIRITS, in |
shape of dogs and hounds, bunting them about; |
PROSPERO and ARIEL setting them on |
PROSPERO. Hey, Mountain, hey! |
ARIEL. Silver! there it goes, Silver! |
PROSPERO. Fury, Fury! There, Tyrant, there! Hark, hark! |
[CALIBAN, STEPHANO, and TRINCULO are driven out] |
Go charge my goblins that they grind their joints |
With dry convulsions, shorten up their sinews |
With aged cramps, and more pinch-spotted make them |
Than pard or cat o' mountain. |
ARIEL. Hark, they roar. |
PROSPERO. Let them be hunted soundly. At this hour |
Lies at my mercy all mine enemies. |
Shortly shall all my labours end, and thou |
Shalt have the air at freedom; for a little |
Follow, and do me service. Exeunt |

ACT V. SCENE 1 |
Before PROSPERO'S cell |
Enter PROSPERO in his magic robes, and ARIEL |
PROSPERO. Now does my project gather to a head; |
My charms crack not, my spirits obey; and time |
Goes upright with his carriage. How's the day? |
ARIEL. On the sixth hour; at which time, my lord, |
You said our work should cease. |
PROSPERO. I did say so, |
