1352Ste. Tell not me, when the But is out we will drinke

1353water, not a drop before; therefore beare vp, & boord

1354em' Seruant Monster, drinke to me.

1355Trin. Seruant Monster? the folly of this Iland, they

1356say there's but fiue vpon this Isle; we are three of them,

1357if th'other two be brain'd like vs, the State totters.

1358Ste. Drinke seruant Monster when I bid thee, thy

1359eies are almost set in thy head.

1360Trin. Where should they bee set else? hee were a

1361braue Monster indeede if they were set in his taile.

1362Ste. My man-Monster hath drown'd his tongue in

1363sacke: for my part the Sea cannot drowne mee, I swam

1364ere I could recouer the shore, fiue and thirtie Leagues

1365off and on, by this light thou shalt bee my Lieutenant

1366Monster, or my Standard.

1367Trin. Your Lieutenant if you list, hee's no standard.

1368Ste. Weel not run Monsieur Monster.

1369Trin. Nor go neither: but you'l lie like dogs, and yet

1370say nothing neither.

1371Ste. Moone-calfe, speak once in thy life, if thou beest

1372a good Moone-calfe.

1373Cal. How does thy honour? Let me licke thy shooe:

1374Ile not serue him, he is not valiant.

1375Trin. Thou liest most ignorant Monster, I am in case

1376to iustle a Constable: why, thou debosh'd Fish thou,

1377was there euer man a Coward, that hath drunk so much

1378Sacke as I to day? wilt thou tell a monstrous lie, being

1379but halfe a Fish, and halfe a Monster?

1380Cal. Loe, how he mockes me, wilt thou let him my

1381Lord?

1382Trin. Lord, quoth he? that a Monster should be such

1383a Naturall?

1384Cal. Loe, loe againe: bite him to death I prethee.

1385Ste. Trinculo, keepe a good tongue in your head: If

1386you proue a mutineere, the next Tree: the poore Mon-

1387ster's my subiect, and he shall not suffer indignity.

1388Cal. I thanke my noble Lord. Wilt thou be pleas'd

1389to hearken once againe to the suite I made to thee?

1390Ste. Marry will I: kneele, and repeate it,

1391I will stand, and so shall Trinculo.

1393Cal. As I told thee before, I am subiect to a Tirant,

1394A Sorcerer, that by his cunning hath cheated me

1395Of the Island.

1396Ariell. Thou lyest.

1397Cal. Thou lyest, thou iesting Monkey thou:

1398I would my valiant Master would destroy thee.

1399I do not lye.

1400Ste. Trinculo, if y ou trouble him any more in's tale,

1401By this hand, I will supplant some of your teeth.

1402Trin. Why, I said nothing.

1403Ste. Mum then, and no more: proceed.

1404Cal. I say by Sorcery he got this Isle

1405From me, he got it. If thy Greatnesse will

1406Reuenge it on him, (for I know thou dar'st)

1407But this Thing dare not.

1408Ste. That's most certaine.

1409Cal. Thou shalt be Lord of it, and Ile serue thee.

1410Ste. How now shall this be compast?

1411Canst thou bring me to the party?

1412Cal. Yea, yea my Lord, Ile yeeld him thee asleepe,

1413Where thou maist knocke a naile into his head.

1414Ariell. Thou liest, thou canst not.

1415Cal. What a py'de Ninnie's this? Thou scuruy patch:

1416I do beseech thy Greatnesse giue him blowes,

1417And take his bottle from him: When that's gone,

1418He shall drinke nought but brine, for Ile not shew him

1419Where the quicke Freshes are.

1420Ste. Trinculo, run into no further danger:

1421Interrupt the Monster one word further, and by this

1422hand, Ile turne my mercie out o'doores, and make a

1423Stockfish of thee.

1424Trin. Why, what did I? I did nothing:

1425Ile go farther off.

1426Ste. Didst thou not say he lyed?

1427Ariell. Thou liest.

1428Ste. Do I so? Take thou that,

1429As you like this, giue me the lye another time.

1430Trin. I did not giue the lie: Out o'your wittes, and

1431hearing too?

1432A pox o'your bottle, this can Sacke and drinking doo:

1433A murren on your Monster, and the diuell take your

1434fingers.

1435Cal. Ha, ha, ha.

1436Ste. Now forward with your Tale: prethee stand

1437further off.

1438Cal. Beate him enough: after a little time

1439Ile beate him too.

1440Ste. Stand farther: Come proceede.

1441Cal. Why, as I told thee, 'tis a custome with him

1442I'th afternoone to sleepe: there thou maist braine him,

1443Hauing first seiz'd his bookes: Or with a logge

1444Batter his skull, or paunch him with a stake,

1445Or cut his wezand with thy knife. Remember

1446First to possesse his Bookes; for without them

1447Hee's but a Sot, as I am; nor hath not

1448One Spirit to command: they all do hate him

1449As rootedly as I. Burne but his Bookes,

1450He ha's braue Vtensils (for so he calles them)

1451Which when he ha's a house, hee'l decke withall.

1452And that most deeply to consider, is

1453The beautie of his daughter: he himselfe

1454Cals her a non-pareill: I neuer saw a woman

1455But onely Sycorax my Dam, and she;

1456But she as farre surpasseth Sycorax,

1457As great'st do's least.

1458Ste. Is it so braue a Lasse?

1459Cal. I Lord, she will become thy bed, I warrant,

1460And bring thee forth braue brood.

1461Ste. Monster, I will kill this man: his daughter and

1462I will be King and Queene, saue our Graces: and Trin-

1463culo and thy selfe shall be Vice-royes:

1464Dost thou like the plot Trinculo?

1465Trin. Excellent.

1466Ste. Giue me thy hand, I am sorry I beate thee:

1467But while thou liu'st keepe a good tongue in thy head.

1468Cal. Within this halfe houre will he be asleepe,

1469Wilt thou destroy him then?

1470Ste. I on mine honour.

1471Ariell. This will I tell my Master.

1472Cal. Thou mak'st me merry: I am full of pleasure,

1473Let vs be iocond. Will you troule the Catch

1474You taught me but whileare?

1475Ste. At thy request Monster, I will do reason,

1476Any reason: Come on Trinculo, let vs sing.

1478Flout 'em, and cout 'em: and skowt 'em, and flout 'em,

1479Thought is free.

1480Cal. That's not the tune.

1482Ste. What is this same?

1483Trin. This is the tune of our Catch, plaid by the pic-

1484ture of No-body.

1485Ste. If thou beest a man, shew thy selfe in thy likenes:

1486If thou beest a diuell, take't as thou list.

1487Trin. O forgiue me my sinnes.

1488Ste. He that dies payes all debts: I defie thee;

1489Mercy vpon vs.

1490Cal. Art thou affeard?

1491Ste. No Monster, not I.

1492Cal. Be not affeard, the Isle is full of noyses,

1493Sounds, and sweet aires, that giue delight and hurt not:

1494Sometimes a thousand twangling Instruments

1495Will hum about mine eares; and sometime voices,

1496That if I then had wak'd after long sleepe,

1497Will make me sleepe againe, and then in dreaming,

1498The clouds methought would open, and shew riches

1499Ready to drop vpon me, that when I wak'd

1500I cri'de to dreame againe.

1501Ste. This will proue a braue kingdome to me,

1502Where I shall haue my Musicke for nothing.

1503Cal. When Prospero is destroy'd.

1504Ste. That shall be by and by:

1505I remember the storie.

1506Trin. The sound is going away,

1507Lets follow it, and after do our worke.

1508Ste. Leade Monster,

1509Wee'l follow: I would I could see this Taborer,

1510He layes it on.

1511Trin. Wilt come?

1512Ile follow Stephano. Exeunt.
