- ACT TWO THE TEMPEST scene two
This is a devil, and no monster : I will leave him ; I have
no long spoon.
Trinculo. Stephano! If thou beest Stephano, touch me, and
speak to me; for I am Trinculo,— be not afeard,— thy good
friend Trinculo.
Stephano. If thou beest Trinculo, come forth : I '11 pull thee
by the lesser legs: if any be Trinculo's legs, these are
they. Thou art very Trinculo indeed! How earnest
thou to be the siege of this moon-calf? can he vent
Trinculos?
Trinculo. I took him to be killed with a thunder-stroke. But
art thou not drowned, Stephano? I hope, now, thou art
not drowned. Is the storm overblown? I hid me under
the dead moon-calfs gaberdine for fear of the storm. And
art thou living, Stephano? O Stephano, two Neapolitans
scaped 1
Stephano. Prithee, do not turn me about; my stomach is not
constant.
Caliban. [Aside] These be fine things, an if they be not
sprites.
That's a brave god, and bears celestial liquor:I will kneel to him.
Stephano. How didst thou scape? How camest thou hither?
swear, by this bottle, how thou camest hither. I escaped
upon a butt of sack, which the sailors heaved o'erboard,
by this bottle ! which I made of the bark of a tree with
mine own hands, since I was cast ashore.
Caliban. I '11 swear, upon that bottle, to be thy true subject ;
for the liquor is not earthly.
Stephano. Here; swear, then, how thou escapedst
Trinculo. Swum ashore, man, like a duck: I can swim like a
duck, I'll be sworn.
Stephano. Here, kiss the book. Though thou canst swim like
a duck, thou art made like a goose.
Tripculo. O Stephano, hast any more of this?
Stephano. The whole butt, man : my cellar is in a rock by the
sea-side, where my wine is hid. How now, moon-calf!
how does thine ague?
Caliban. Hast thou not dropp'd from heaven ?
Stephano. Out o' the moon, I do assure thee: I was the man
i' the moon when time was.
