_Steph._ Monster, I will kill this man: his daughter and I will be king
and queen,--save our Graces!--and Trinculo and thyself shall be
viceroys.--Dost thou like the plot, Trinculo?
_Trin._ Excellent.
_Steph._ Give me thy hand: I am sorry I beat thee; but, while thou
livest, keep a good tongue in thy head.
_Cal._ Within this half-hour will he be asleep:
Wilt thou destroy him then?
_Steph._ Ay, on mine honour.
_Ari._ This will I tell my master.[428-19]
_Cal._ Thou makest me merry; I am full of pleasure:
Let us be jocund: will you troll the catch[428-20]
You taught me but while-ere?[428-21]
_Steph._ At thy request, monster, I will do reason,[428-22] any
reason.--Come on, Trinculo, let us sing.
[_Sings._
_Flout 'em and scout 'em, and scout 'em and flout 'em;
Thought is free._
_Cal._ That's not the tune.
[_ARIEL plays the tune on a tabor and pipe._
_Steph._ What is this same?[428-23]
_Trin._ This is the tune of our catch, play'd by the picture of
Nobody.[428-24]
_Steph._ If thou be'st a man, show thyself in thy likeness: if thou
be'st a devil--take't as thou list.[429-25]
_Trin._ O, forgive me my sins!
_Steph._ He that dies pays all debts: I defy thee.--Mercy upon us!
_Cal._ Art thou afeard?
_Steph._ No, monster, not I.
_Cal._ Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not.
Sometime[429-26] a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices,
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.
_Steph._ This will prove a brave kingdom to me, where I shall have my
music for nothing.
_Cal._ When Prospero is destroy'd.
_Steph._ That shall be by-and-by: I remember the story.
_Cal._ The sound is going away; let's follow it.
And after do our work.
_Steph._ Lead, monster; we'll follow.--I would I could see this taborer!
he lays it on.--Wilt come?
_Trin._ I'll follow, Stephano. [_Exeunt._
SCENE III.--_Another part of the Island._
_Enter ALONSO, SEBASTIAN, ANTONIO, GONZALO, ADRIAN, FRANCISCO, and
Others._
_Gonza._ By'r lakin,[430-1] I can go no further, sir;
