If it should thunder as it did before, I know not where to hide my head: yond fame cloud cannot choofe but fall by pailfuls What have we here, a man or a fish; dead or alive? a fifh; he fmells like a fiih a very ancient and fish-like fmell. A kind of, not of the neweft, Poor John: a ftrange fish! Were I in England now, as once I was, and had but this fish painted, not a holiday fool there but would give a piece of filver. There would this monfter make a4man; any ftrange beaft there makes a man; when they will not give a doit to relieve a lame beggar, they will lay out ten to fee a dead Indian. Legg'd like a man! and his fins like arms! warm, o'my troth! I do now let loofe my opinion, hold it no longer, this is no fifh, but an Iflander that hath lately fuffer'd by a thunder-bolt.

Do not torment me, oh! Ste. What's the matter? have we devils here? do you put tricks upon's with favages, and men of Inde? ha? I have not fcap'd drowning to be afraid now of your four legs; for it hath been faid, As proper a man, as ever went upon four legs, cannot make him give ground; and it shall be faid fo again, while Stephano breathes at his noftrils. Cal. The spirit torments me: oh! Ste. This is fome monster of the Ifle with four legs, who has got, as I take it, an ague: where the devil fhould he learn our language? I will give him fome relief, if it be but for that: if I can recover him, and keep him tame, and get to Naples with him, he's a present prefent for any Emperor that ever trod on neats-lea ther. Cla. Do not torment me, pr'ythee; I'll bring my wood home faster. Ste. He's in his fit now; and does not talk after the wifeft: he shall tafte of my bottle.

Thou doft me yet but little hurt; Ste. Come on your ways; open your mouth; here is that which will give language to you, Cat; open your mouth this will shake your fhaking, I can tell you, and that foundly: you cannot tell who's your friend open your chaps again. Trin. Ifhould know that voice: it should be but he is drown'd; and these are devils: O! defend me. Ste. Four legs and two voices; a moft delicate monfter his forward voice now is to fpeak well of his friend; his backward voice is to fpatter foul speeches, and to detract. If all the wine in my bottle will recover him, I will help his ague: come: Amen! I will pour fome in thy other mouth. Trin. Stephano, Ste. Doth thy other mouth call me? mercy! mercy! this is a devil, and no monfter: I will leave him; I have no long spoon. Trin. Stephano! if thou beeft Stephano, touch me, aud speak to me; for I am Trinculo; be not afraid, thy good friend Trinculo. Ste. If thou beeft Trinculo, come forth, I'll pull thee by the leffer legs: if any be Trinculo's legs, these are they. Thou art very Trinculo, indeed: how cam'it thou thou to be the fiege of this moon-calf? can he vent Trinculo's? Trin. I took him to be kill'd with a thunder-stroke: but art thou not drown'd, Stephano? I hope now, thou art not drown'd: is the ftorm over-blown? I hid me under the dead moon-calf's gaberdine, for fear of the ftorm and art thou living, Stephano? O Stephano, two Neapolitans fcap'd ! Ste. Pr'ythee, do not turn me about, my stomach is not conftant. Cal. These be fine things, and if they be not fprights: That's a brave god, and bears celestial liquor : I will kneel to him. Ste.

Cal. I'll fwear upon that bottle, to be thy true fubject; for the liquor is not earthly. Ste. Here swear then, how efcap'dst thou? Trin. Swom a-fhore, man, like a duck; I can swim like a duck, I'll be sworn. Ste. Here, kifs the book. fwim like a duck, thou art made like a goose. Trin. O Stephano, haft any more of this? Ste. The whole, butt man; my cellar is in a rock by th' fea-fide, where my wine is hid. How now, moon-calf, how does thine ague? Though thou canst Cal. Haft thou not dropt from Heav'n? Ste. Out o'th' moon, I do affure thee. I was the man in th' moon, when time was. Cal. I have seen thee in her? and I do adore thee: my mistress fhew'd me thee, and thy dog and thy bufh. Ste. Come, fwear to that; kifs the book: I will furnish it anon with new contents: fwear. Trin. By this good light, this is a very fhallow mon. fter; 5 I afraid of him? a very shallow monster: the man i'th' moon —— a most poor credulous monfter : well drawn, monster, in good footh. Cal. I'll fhew thee every fertile inch o'th' Ifle, And I will kifs thy foot: I pr'ythee be my god. Trin. By this light, a moft perfidious and drunken monfter; when his god's afleep, he'll rob his bottle. Cal. I'll kifs thy foot. I'll fwear myself thy fub[ject. Ste. Come on then; down, and fwear. Trin. I fhall laugh myself to death at this puppyheaded monster; a most scurvy monster! I could find in my heart to beat him Ste. Come, kiss. Trin. But that the poor monster's in drink an abominable monster ! Cal. I'll fhew thee the best springs: I'll pluck thee berries, I'll fish for thee, and get thee wood enough. I'll bear him no more sticks, but follow thee, Trin. A most ridiculous monster, to make a wonder of a poor drunkard. Cal. I pr'ythee, let me bring thee where crabs grow; And I with my long nails will dig thee pig-nuts; Shew thee a jay's neft, and inftruct thee how To fnare the nimble marmazet ; I'll bring thee To cluft'ring filberds, and fometimes I'll get thee ture. 5 I afraid of him? a very this brag from him.
