STEPHANO

Put off that gown, Trinculo; by this hand, I'll have that gown.

Thy grace shall have it.

TRINCULO

CALIBAN

The dropsy drown this fool! what do you mean

To dote thus on such luggage? Let's alone,

And do the murder first: if he awake,

From toe to crown he'll fill our skins with pinches,
Make us strange stuff.

STEPHANO

Be you quiet, monster.-Mistress line, is not this my jerkin? Now is the jerkin under the line :—now, jerkin, you are like to lose your hair, and prove a bald jerkin.

TRINCULO

Do, do we steal by line and level, an 't like your grace.

STEPHANO

I thank thee for that jest; here's a garment for 't: wit shall not go unrewarded while I am king of this country. "Steal by line and level" is an excellent pass of pate; there's another garment

for 't.

TRINCULO

Monster, come, put some lime upon thy fingers, and away with

the rest.

CALIBAN

I will have none on 't: we shall lose our time,
And all be turn'd to barnacles, or to apes

With foreheads villanous low.

STEPHANO

where my

Monster, lay-to your fingers: help to bear this away where hogshead of wine is, or I'll turn you out of my kingdom: go to,

[blocks in formation]

of dogs and hounds, hunting them about; PROSPERO and
ARIEL setting them on

[blocks in formation]

Fury, Fury there, Tyrant, there! hark, hark!

[CALIBAN, STEPHANO, and TRINCULO 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 Than pard or cat o' mountain.

ARIEL

Hark, they roar !

PROSPERO

Let them be hunted soundly. At this hour

Lie at my mercy all mine enemies:

Shortly shall all my labours end, and thou
Shalt have the air at freedom: for a little
Follow, and do me service.

[Exeunt.
