<h3>SCENE I. On a ship at sea: a tempestuous noise</H3>

<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>of thunder and lightning heard.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter a Master and a Boatswain</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech1><b>Master</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=2>Boatswain!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech2><b>Boatswain</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=3>Here, master: what cheer?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech3><b>Master</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=4>Good, speak to the mariners: fall to't, yarely,</A><br>
<A NAME=5>or we run ourselves aground: bestir, bestir.</A><br>
<p><i>Exit</i></p>
<p><i>Enter Mariners</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech4><b>Boatswain</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=6>Heigh, my hearts! cheerly, cheerly, my hearts!</A><br>
<A NAME=7>yare, yare! Take in the topsail. Tend to the</A><br>
<A NAME=8>master's whistle. Blow, till thou burst thy wind,</A><br>
<A NAME=9>if room enough!</A><br>
<p><i>Enter ALONSO, SEBASTIAN, ANTONIO, FERDINAND, GONZALO, and others</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech5><b>ALONSO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=10>Good boatswain, have care. Where's the master?</A><br>
<A NAME=11>Play the men.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech6><b>Boatswain</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=12>I pray now, keep below.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech7><b>ANTONIO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=13>Where is the master, boatswain?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech8><b>Boatswain</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=14>Do you not hear him? You mar our labour: keep your</A><br>
<A NAME=15>cabins: you do assist the storm.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech9><b>GONZALO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=16>Nay, good, be patient.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech10><b>Boatswain</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=17>When the sea is. Hence! What cares these roarers</A><br>
<A NAME=18>for the name of king? To cabin: silence! trouble us not.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech11><b>GONZALO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=19>Good, yet remember whom thou hast aboard.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech12><b>Boatswain</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=20>None that I more love than myself. You are a</A><br>
<A NAME=21>counsellor; if you can command these elements to</A><br>
<A NAME=22>silence, and work the peace of the present, we will</A><br>
<A NAME=23>not hand a rope more; use your authority: if you</A><br>
<A NAME=24>cannot, give thanks you have lived so long, and make</A><br>
<A NAME=25>yourself ready in your cabin for the mischance of</A><br>
<A NAME=26>the hour, if it so hap. Cheerly, good hearts! Out</A><br>
<A NAME=27>of our way, I say.</A><br>
<p><i>Exit</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech13><b>GONZALO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=28>I have great comfort from this fellow: methinks he</A><br>
<A NAME=29>hath no drowning mark upon him; his complexion is</A><br>
<A NAME=30>perfect gallows. Stand fast, good Fate, to his</A><br>
<A NAME=31>hanging: make the rope of his destiny our cable,</A><br>
<A NAME=32>for our own doth little advantage. If he be not</A><br>
<A NAME=33>born to be hanged, our case is miserable.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt</i></p>
<p><i>Re-enter Boatswain</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech14><b>Boatswain</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=34>Down with the topmast! yare! lower, lower! Bring</A><br>
<A NAME=35>her to try with main-course.</A><br>
<p><i>A cry within</i></p>
<A NAME=36>A plague upon this howling! they are louder than</A><br>
<A NAME=37>the weather or our office.</A><br>
<p><i>Re-enter SEBASTIAN, ANTONIO, and GONZALO</i></p>
<A NAME=38>Yet again! what do you here? Shall we give o'er</A><br>
<A NAME=39>and drown? Have you a mind to sink?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech15><b>SEBASTIAN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=40>A pox o' your throat, you bawling, blasphemous,</A><br>
<A NAME=41>incharitable dog!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech16><b>Boatswain</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=42>Work you then.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech17><b>ANTONIO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=43>Hang, cur! hang, you whoreson, insolent noisemaker!</A><br>
<A NAME=44>We are less afraid to be drowned than thou art.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech18><b>GONZALO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=45>I'll warrant him for drowning; though the ship were</A><br>
<A NAME=46>no stronger than a nutshell and as leaky as an</A><br>
<A NAME=47>unstanched wench.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech19><b>Boatswain</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=48>Lay her a-hold, a-hold! set her two courses off to</A><br>
<A NAME=49>sea again; lay her off.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter Mariners wet</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech20><b>Mariners</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=50>All lost! to prayers, to prayers! all lost!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech21><b>Boatswain</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=51>What, must our mouths be cold?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech22><b>GONZALO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=52>The king and prince at prayers! let's assist them,</A><br>
<A NAME=53>For our case is as theirs.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech23><b>SEBASTIAN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=54>I'm out of patience.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech24><b>ANTONIO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=55>We are merely cheated of our lives by drunkards:</A><br>
<A NAME=56>This wide-chapp'd rascal--would thou mightst lie drowning</A><br>
<A NAME=57>The washing of ten tides!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech25><b>GONZALO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=58>He'll be hang'd yet,</A><br>
<A NAME=59>Though every drop of water swear against it</A><br>
<A NAME=60>And gape at widest to glut him.</A><br>
<p><i>A confused noise within:   'Mercy on us!'--  'We split, we split!'--'Farewell, my wife and  children!'-- 'Farewell, brother!'--'We split, we split, we split!'</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech26><b>ANTONIO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=61>Let's all sink with the king.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech27><b>SEBASTIAN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=62>Let's take leave of him.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt ANTONIO and SEBASTIAN</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech28><b>GONZALO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=63>Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea for an</A><br>
<A NAME=64>acre of barren ground, long heath, brown furze, any</A><br>
<A NAME=65>thing. The wills above be done! but I would fain</A><br>
<A NAME=66>die a dry death.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt</i></p>
