CALIBAN
I’ll show thee the best springs. I’ll pluck
thee berries.
I’ll fish for thee and get thee wood enough.
A plague upon the tyrant that I serve!
I’ll bear him no more sticks, but follow thee,
Thou wondrous man.

serving you now, you wonderful man.

CALIBAN
(to
STEPHANO) I prithee, let me bring
thee where crabs grow.
And I with my long nails will dig thee pignuts,
Show thee a jay’s nest, and instruct thee how
To snare the nimble marmoset. I’ll bring thee
To clustering filberts, and sometimes I’ll get thee
Young scamels from the rock. Wilt thou go with me?
|
CALIBAN
(to
STEPHANO) I beg you, let me show
where you can find crabs to eat. I’ll use my long
fingernails to dig edible roots for you, find you a
bird’s nest, and teach you how to catch a nimble monkey.
I’ll take you to clusters of hazelnuts, and sometimes
I’ll catch birds for you on the rocks. Will you come with
me?

we will inherit here.—Here, bear my
bottle.—Fellow
Trinculo, we’ll fill him by and by again.
|
STEPHANO
Show us the way without further delay.—Trinculo, since
the king and all our comrades are drowned, we’re the
heirs of this place.—Here, carry my wine
bottle.—Trinculo, my buddy, we’ll get that
bottle refilled soon enough.
