CALIBAN.Pray you, tread softly, that the blind mole may not Hear a foot fall; we now are near his cell.STEPHANO.Monster, your fairy, which you say is a harmless fairy, has done little better than play'd the Jack with us.TRINCULO.Monster, I do smell all horse-piss at which my nose is in great indignation.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 thiscountry.'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, hunting 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 *******; for a littleFollow, and do me service.[Exeunt]
