You look wearily.

Fair encounter

Of two most rare affections! Heavens rain grace

Fer.

Wherefore weep you?

Mira. At mine unworthiness, that dare not offer
What I desire to give; and much less take
What I shall die to want: but this is trifling;
And all the more it seeks to hide itself

The bigger bulk it shews.

Hence, bashful cunning!
And prompt me, plain and holy innocence!
I am your wife, if you will marry me ;

If not, I'll die your maid: to be your fellow
You may deny me; but I'll be your servant,
Whether you will or no.

Fer.

And I thus humble ever.

My mistress, dearest,

Fer. Ay, with a heart as willing

As bondage e'er of freedom: here's my hand.

SCENE II.-Another part of the Island.

Enter STEPHANO and TRINCULO; CALIBAN following with a bottle.

Ste. Tell not me ;-when the butt is out, we will drink water; not a drop before: therefore bear up, and board 'em. Servantmonster, 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 the other two be brained like us, the state totters.

Ste. Drink, servant-monster, when I bid thee; thy eyes are almost set in thy head.

Trin. Where should they be set else? he were a brave monster indeed, if they were set in his tail.

Ste. My man-monster hath drowned 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.

Trin. Your lieutenant, if you list; he's no standard.

Ste. We'll not run, monsieur monster.

Trin. Nor go neither: but you'll lie, like dogs; and yet say nothing neither.

Ste. Moon-calf, speak once in thy life, if thou beest a good moon-calf.

Cal. How does thy honour? Let me lick thy shoe: I'll not serve him, he is not valiant.

Trin. Thou liest, most ignorant monster; I am in case to justle a constable. Why, thou deboshed fish thou, was there ever man a coward, that hath drunk so much sack as I to-day? Wilt thou tell a monstrous lie, being but half a fish and half a monster?

Cal. Lo, how he mocks me! wilt thou let him, my lord?

Trin. Lord, quoth he!-that a monster should be such a natural!

Cal. Lo, lo, again! bite him to death, I pr'ythee.

D

Ste. Trinculo, keep a good tongue in your head; if you prove

a mutineer, the next tree.-The poor monster's my subject, and he shall not suffer indignity.

{{}

Cal. I thank my noble lord. Wilt thou be pleased! To hearken once again the suit I made thee?

T

Ste. Marry will I: kneel and repeat it; I will stand, and so shall Trinculo.

Cal. As I told thee before, I am subject to a tyranta sorcerer, that by his cunning hath cheated me of the island.

Cal. Thou liest, thou jesting monkey, thou;

I would my valiant master would destroy thee: ut & JyQ I do not lie.

Ste. Trinculo, if you trouble him any more in his tale, by this hand, I will supplant some of your teeth.

Trin. Why, I said nothing..

Ste. Mum then, and no more. [To CALIBAN.] Proceed
Cal. I say, by sorcery he got this isle;

From me he got it. If thy greatness will
Revenge it on him-for, I know, thou dar'st ;
But this thing dare not.

Ste. That's most certain.

"

Cal. Thou shalt be lord of it, and I'll serve thee.

Ste. How now shall this be compassed? Canst thou bring me to the party?

Cal. Yea, yea, my lord; I'll yield him thee asleep, tebe A Where thou may'st knock a nail into his head.

Thou scurvy patch !

Ari. Thou liest, thou canst not.
Cal. What a pied ninny's this?
I do beseech thy greatness, give him blows,
And take his bottle from him: when that's gone,
He shall drink nought but brine; for I'll not shew him - I
Where the quick freshes are.

Ste. Trinculo, run into no further danger: interrupt the monster
