<H3>SCENE II. Another part of the island.</h3>

<p><blockquote>
<i>Enter CALIBAN with a burden of wood. A noise of thunder heard</i>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech1><b>CALIBAN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>All the infections that the sun sucks up</A><br>
<A NAME=2>From bogs, fens, flats, on Prosper fall and make him</A><br>
<A NAME=3>By inch-meal a disease! His spirits hear me</A><br>
<A NAME=4>And yet I needs must curse. But they'll nor pinch,</A><br>
<A NAME=5>Fright me with urchin--shows, pitch me i' the mire,</A><br>
<A NAME=6>Nor lead me, like a firebrand, in the dark</A><br>
<A NAME=7>Out of my way, unless he bid 'em; but</A><br>
<A NAME=8>For every trifle are they set upon me;</A><br>
<A NAME=9>Sometime like apes that mow and chatter at me</A><br>
<A NAME=10>And after bite me, then like hedgehogs which</A><br>
<A NAME=11>Lie tumbling in my barefoot way and mount</A><br>
<A NAME=12>Their pricks at my footfall; sometime am I</A><br>
<A NAME=13>All wound with adders who with cloven tongues</A><br>
<A NAME=14>Do hiss me into madness.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter TRINCULO</i></p>
<A NAME=15>Lo, now, lo!</A><br>
<A NAME=16>Here comes a spirit of his, and to torment me</A><br>
<A NAME=17>For bringing wood in slowly. I'll fall flat;</A><br>
<A NAME=18>Perchance he will not mind me.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech2><b>TRINCULO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=19>Here's neither bush nor shrub, to bear off</A><br>
<A NAME=20>any weather at all, and another storm brewing;</A><br>
<A NAME=21>I hear it sing i' the wind: yond same black</A><br>
<A NAME=22>cloud, yond huge one, looks like a foul</A><br>
<A NAME=23>bombard that would shed his liquor. If it</A><br>
<A NAME=24>should thunder as it did before, I know not</A><br>
<A NAME=25>where to hide my head: yond same cloud cannot</A><br>
<A NAME=26>choose but fall by pailfuls. What have we</A><br>
<A NAME=27>here? a man or a fish? dead or alive? A fish:</A><br>
<A NAME=28>he smells like a fish; a very ancient and fish-</A><br>
<A NAME=29>like smell; a kind of not of the newest Poor-</A><br>
<A NAME=30>John. A strange fish! Were I in England now,</A><br>
<A NAME=31>as once I was, and had but this fish painted,</A><br>
<A NAME=32>not a holiday fool there but would give a piece</A><br>
<A NAME=33>of silver: there would this monster make a</A><br>
<A NAME=34>man; any strange beast there makes a man:</A><br>
<A NAME=35>when they will not give a doit to relieve a lame</A><br>
<A NAME=36>beggar, they will lazy out ten to see a dead</A><br>
<A NAME=37>Indian. Legged like a man and his fins like</A><br>
<A NAME=38>arms! Warm o' my troth! I do now let loose</A><br>
<A NAME=39>my opinion; hold it no longer: this is no fish,</A><br>
<A NAME=40>but an islander, that hath lately suffered by a</A><br>
<A NAME=41>thunderbolt.</A><br>
<p><i>Thunder</i></p>
<A NAME=42>Alas, the storm is come again! my best way is to</A><br>
<A NAME=43>creep under his gaberdine; there is no other</A><br>
<A NAME=44>shelter hereabouts: misery acquaints a man with</A><br>
<A NAME=45>strange bed-fellows. I will here shroud till the</A><br>
<A NAME=46>dregs of the storm be past.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter STEPHANO, singing: a bottle in his hand</i></p>

<A NAME=speech3><b>STEPHANO</b></a>

<A NAME=47>   I shall no more to sea, to sea,</A><br>
<A NAME=48>Here shall I die ashore--</A><br>
<A NAME=49>This is a very scurvy tune to sing at a man's</A><br>
<A NAME=50>funeral: well, here's my comfort.</A><br>
<p><i>Drinks</i></p>
<p><i>Sings</i></p>
<A NAME=51>The master, the swabber, the boatswain and I,</A><br>
<A NAME=52>The gunner and his mate</A><br>
<A NAME=53>Loved Mall, Meg and Marian and Margery,</A><br>
<A NAME=54>But none of us cared for Kate;</A><br>
<A NAME=55>For she had a tongue with a tang,</A><br>
<A NAME=56>Would cry to a sailor, Go hang!</A><br>
<A NAME=57>She loved not the savour of tar nor of pitch,</A><br>
<A NAME=58>Yet a tailor might scratch her where'er she did itch:</A><br>
<A NAME=59>Then to sea, boys, and let her go hang!</A><br>
<A NAME=60>This is a scurvy tune too: but here's my comfort.</A><br>
<p><i>Drinks</i></p>

<A NAME=62>What's the matter? Have we devils here? Do you put</A><br>
<A NAME=63>tricks upon's with savages and men of Ind, ha? I</A><br>
<A NAME=64>have not scaped drowning to be afeard now of your</A><br>
<A NAME=65>four legs; for it hath been said, As proper a man as</A><br>
<A NAME=66>ever went on four legs cannot make him give ground;</A><br>
<A NAME=67>and it shall be said so again while Stephano</A><br>

<A NAME=70>This is some monster of the isle with four legs, who</A><br>
<A NAME=71>hath got, as I take it, an ague. Where the devil</A><br>
<A NAME=72>should he learn our language? I will give him some</A><br>
<A NAME=73>relief, if it be but for that. if I can recover him</A><br>
<A NAME=74>and keep him tame and get to Naples with him, he's a</A><br>
<A NAME=75>present for any emperor that ever trod on neat's leather.</A><br>

<A NAME=76>Do not torment me, prithee; I'll bring my wood home faster.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech9><b>STEPHANO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=77>He's in his fit now and does not talk after the</A><br>
<A NAME=78>wisest. He shall taste of my bottle: if he have</A><br>
<A NAME=79>never drunk wine afore will go near to remove his</A><br>
<A NAME=80>fit. If I can recover him and keep him tame, I will</A><br>
<A NAME=81>not take too much for him; he shall pay for him that</A><br>

<A NAME=83>Thou dost me yet but little hurt; thou wilt anon, I</A><br>
<A NAME=84>know it by thy trembling: now Prosper works upon thee.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech11><b>STEPHANO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=85>Come on your ways; open your mouth; here is that</A><br>
<A NAME=86>which will give language to you, cat: open your</A><br>
<A NAME=87>mouth; this will shake your shaking, I can tell you,</A><br>
<A NAME=88>and that soundly: you cannot tell who's your friend:</A><br>

<blockquote>
<A NAME=92>Four legs and two voices: a most delicate monster!</A><br>
<A NAME=93>His forward voice now is to speak well of his</A><br>

<A NAME=95>and to detract. If all the wine in my bottle will</A><br>
<A NAME=96>recover him, I will help his ague. Come. Amen! I</A><br>

<A NAME=101>long spoon.</A><br>

<A NAME=104>good friend Trinculo.</A><br>

<A NAME=111>art thou not drowned, Stephano? I hope now thou art</A><br>
<A NAME=112>not drowned. Is the storm overblown? I hid me</A><br>
<A NAME=113>under the dead moon-calf's gaberdine for fear of</A><br>
