em.[423-1] Servant-monster, drink to me. _Trin._ Servant-monster! the folly of this island! They say there's but five upon this isle: we are three of them; if th' other two be brain'd like us, the State totters. _Steph._ Drink, servant-monster, when I bid thee: thy eyes are almost set[424-2] in thy head. [_CALIBAN drinks._ _Trin._ Where should they be set else? he were a brave monster indeed, if they were set in his tail. _Steph._ My man-monster hath drown'd his tongue in sack: for my part, the sea cannot drown me; I swam, ere I could recover the shore, five-and-thirty leagues, off and on, by this light.--Thou shalt be my lieutenant, monster, or my standard.[424-3] _Trin._ Your lieutenant, if you list: he's no standard.[424-4] _Steph._ We'll not run, Monsieur Monster. _Trin._ Nor go neither: but you'll lie like dogs, and yet say nothing neither. _Steph._ Moon-calf, speak once in thy life, if thou be'st a good moon-calf. _Cal._ How does thy Honour?

Wilt thou be pleased To hearken once again the suit I made thee? _Steph._ Marry, will I: kneel, and repeat it; I will stand, and so shall Trinculo. _Enter ARIEL, invisible._ _Cal._ As I told thee before, I am subject to a tyrant; a sorcerer, that by his cunning hath cheated me of the island. _Ari._ Thou liest.[425-9] _Cal._ Thou liest, thou jesting monkey, thou: I would my valiant master would destroy thee! I do not lie. _Steph._ Trinculo, if you trouble him any more in's tale, by this hand, I will supplant some of your teeth. _Trin._ Why, I said nothing. _Steph._ Mum, then, and no more.-- [_To CAL._] Proceed. _Cal._ I say,
