O Stephano, hast any more of this?

Oh Stephano, do you have any more of that wine?

STEPHANO
The whole butt, man. My cellar is in a rock by th'
seaside where my wine is hid.—How now, mooncalf? How does
thine ague?
|
STEPHANO
I’ve got the whole barrel, man. I live in a cave by the
seaside, where I keep the barrel hidden.—Hey, monster,
how’s your fever?
|
|
CALIBAN
Hast thou not dropped from heaven?
|
CALIBAN
You come from heaven, don’t you?
|
|
|
STEPHANO
Out o' th' moon, I do assure thee. I was the
man i' the moon when time was.
|
STEPHANO
No, from the moon, I’m telling you. I used to be the
man in the moon a long time ago.
|
|
|
CALIBAN
I have seen thee in her and I do adore thee. My mistress showed me
thee and thy dog and thy bush.
|
CALIBAN
Oh, I’ve seen you in the moon, and I worship you. My
mistress showed me you in the moon and your dog and your
bush.

STEPHANO
Come, swear to that, kiss the book. I will furnish it anon with
new contents, swear.
|
STEPHANO
Come on, swear to it. Kiss the Bible and swear it. I’m
going to fill the bottle up again soon.

TRINCULO
By this good light, this is a very shallow monster. I afeard of
him! A very weak monster. The man i' th' moon!
A most poor credulous monster.—Well drawn, monster, in
good sooth!
|
TRINCULO
When you get a good look at him, you see he’s not much
of a monster. I can’t believe I was scared of him! A
pretty pathetic monster. The man in the moon! What a poor, gullible
monster.—That was a nice big gulp, monster!

|
|
CALIBAN
(to
STEPHANO) I’ll show thee
every fertile inch o' th' island.
And I will kiss thy foot. I prithee, be my god.
|
CALIBAN
(to
STEPHANO) I’ll show you
every inch of the island, and I’ll kiss your feet. I beg
you, please be my god.
|
|
|
TRINCULO
By this light, a most perfidious and drunken monster.
When ’s god’s asleep, he’ll rob
his bottle.
|
TRINCULO
What a lying, drunken monster. When his god falls asleep, the
monster will snatch his wine bottle.
