THE TEMPEST
183


Trinculo.

I have been in such a pickle since I saw you last that, I fear me, will never out of my bones: I shall not fear fly-blowing.

Sebastian.

Why, how now, Stephano!

Stephano.

O, touch me not; I am not Stephano, but a cramp.

Prospero.

You ’ld be king o’ the isle, sirrah?

Stephano.

I should have been a sore one then.

Alonso.

This is a strange thing as e’er I look’d on.

[Pointing to Caliban.

Prospero.

He is as disproportion’d in his manners
As in his shape. Go, sirrah, to my cell;
Take with you your companions; as you look:
To have my pardon, trim it handsomely.

Caliban.

Ay, that I will; and Ill be wise hereafter
And seek for grace. What a thrice-double ass
Was I, to take this drunkard for a god
And worship this dull fool!

Prospero.

And worship this dull fool! Go to; away!
