Caliban,
For aye thy foot-licker.
_Ste._ Give me thy hand. I do begin to have bloody
thoughts. 220
_Trin._ O King Stephano! O peer! O worthy Stephano!
look what a wardrobe here is for thee!
_Cal._ Let it alone, thou fool; it is but trash.
_Trin._ O, ho, monster! we know what belongs to a frippery.
O King Stephano! 225
_Ste._ Put off that gown, Trinculo; by this hand, I'll
have that gown.
_Trin._ Thy Grace shall have it.
_Cal._ The dropsy drown this fool! what do you mean
To dote thus on such luggage? Let's alone, 230
And do the murder first: if he awake,
From toe to crown he'll fill our skins with pinches,
Make us strange stuff.
_Ste._ Be you quiet, monster. Mistress line, is not this
my jerkin? Now is the jerkin under the line: now, jerkin, 235
you are like to lose your hair, and prove a bald jerkin.
_Trin._ Do, do: we steal by line and level, an't like your
Grace.
_Ste._ I thank thee for that jest; here's a garment for't:
wit shall not go unrewarded while I am king of this country. 240
'Steal by line and level' is an excellent pass of pate;
there's another garment for't.
_Trin._ Monster, come, put some lime upon your fingers,
and away with the rest.
_Cal._ I will have none on't: we shall lose our time, 245
And all be turn'd to barnacles, or to apes
With foreheads villanous low.
_Ste._ 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. 250
_Trin._ And this.
_Ste._ Ay, and this.
_A noise of hunters heard. Enter divers Spirits, in shape of
dogs and hounds, and hunt them about, PROSPERO and ARIEL setting
them on._
_Pros._ Hey, Mountain, hey!
_Ari._ Silver! there it goes, Silver!
_Pros._ Fury, fury! there, Tyrant, there! hark, hark! 255
[_Cal., Ste., and Trin. 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
Then pard or cat o' mountain.
_Ari._ Hark, they roar!
_Pros._ Let them be hunted soundly. At this hour 260
Lie at my mercy all mine enemies:
Shortly shall all my labours end, and thou
Shalt hav
