Stephano.

Mum, then, and no more. Proceed.

Caliban.

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 darest,
But this thing dare not,—

Stephano.

That ’s most certain.

Caliban.

Thou shalt be lord of it and I ’ll serve thee.

Stephano.

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

Caliban.

Yea, yea, my lord: I ’ll yield him thee asleep,
Where thou mayst knock a nail into his head.

Ariel.

Thou liest; thou canst not.

Caliban.

What a pied ninny’s this! Thou scurvy patch!
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 show him
Where the quick freshes are.

Stephano.

Trinculo, run into no further danger: interrupt the monster
