iend, are in; and sends me forth--
For else his project dies--to keep thee living.

[_Sings in GONZALO'S ear._

While you here do snoring lie,
Open-eyed conspiracy
His time doth take.
If of life you keep a care,
Shake off slumber, and beware:
Awake! Awake!

_Anto._ Then let us both be sudden.

_Gonza._ [_Waking._] Now, good angels
Preserve the King!--[_To SEBAS. and ANTO._] Why, how now!--[_To
ALON._] Ho, awake!--
[_To SEBAS. and ANTO._] Why are you drawn?[409-74] wherefore this
ghastly looking?[409-75]

_Alon._ [_Waking._] What's the matter?

_Sebas._ Whiles we stood here securing your repose,
Even now, we heard a hollow burst of bellowing
Like bulls, or rather lions: did't not wake you?
It struck mine ear most terribly.

_Alon._ I heard nothing.

_Anto._ O, 'twas a din to fright a monster's ear,
To make an earthquake! sure, it was the roar
Of a whole herd of lions.

_Alon._ Heard you this, Gonzalo?

_Gonza._ Upon mine honour, sir, I heard a humming,
And that a strange one too, which did awake me:
I shaked you, sir, and cried: as mine eyes open'd,
I saw their weapons drawn: there was a noise,
That's verity. 'Tis best we stand upon our guard,
Or that we quit this place: let's draw our weapons.

_Alon._ Lead off this ground; and let's make further search
For my poor son.

_Gonza._ Heavens keep him from these beasts!
For he is, sure, i' the island.

_Alon._ Lead away.
[_Exit with the others._

_Ari._ Prospero my lord shall know what I have done:--
So, King, go safely on to seek thy son. [_Exit._

SCENE II.--_Another part of the Island._

_Enter CALIBAN, with a burden of wood. A noise of Thunder heard._

_Cal._ All the infections that the Sun sucks up
From bogs, fens, flats, on Prosper fall, and make him
By inch-meal[410-1] a disease! His spirits hear me,
And yet I needs must curse. But they'll nor pinch,
Fright me with urchin-shows,[410-2] pitch me i' the mire,
Nor lead me, like a fire-brand,[410-3] in the dark
Out of my way, unless he bid 'em: but
For every trifle are they set upon me;
Sometime[410-4] like apes, that mow[410-5] and chatter a
