CALIBAN
How does thy honor? Let me lick thy shoe.
(indicates
TRINCULO) I’ll not serve
him. He’s not valiant.
|
CALIBAN
How is your Highness? Let me lick your shoe.
(he points to
TRINCULO) I’ll never serve
that guy there. He’s not courageous like you.
|
|
TRINCULO
(to
CALIBAN)
Thou liest, most ignorant monster. I am in case to justle a
constable. Why, thou deboshed fish, thou, was there ever
man a coward that hath drunk so much sack as I today? Wilt
thou tell a monstrous lie, being but half a fish and half a
monster?
|
TRINCULO
(to
CALIBAN) You’re a liar,
you ignorant monster. I’m courageous. I could shake up a
police officer right now. You drunken fish, you, how could you call
me a coward after all the booze I’ve drunk today? Do you
tell such monstrous lies because you’re half fish and
half monster?

(to
STEPHANO)
Lo, how he mocks me! Wilt thou let him, mylord?
|
CALIBAN
(to
STEPHANO) Look how he’s
making fun of me! Will you let him talk to me like, my lord?
|
|
TRINCULO
“Lord,” quoth he? That a monster should be
such a natural!

“Lord,” he calls you? What an idiot that
monster is!

CALIBAN
(to
STEPHANO)
Lo, lo, again! Bite him to death, I prithee.
|
CALIBAN
(to
STEPHANO) There he goes again!
Please, bite him to death, I’m begging you.
|
|
STEPHANO
Trinculo, keep a good tongue in your head. If you prove a
mutineer, the next tree. The poor monster’s my subject
and
he shall not suffer indignity.
|
STEPHANO
Trinculo, speak politely. If you mutiny against me,
I’ll hang you from the next tree. This poor monster is my
subject, and I will not allow him to be insulted.

CALIBAN
I thank my noble lord. Wilt thou be pleased to hearken once
again to the suit I made to thee?

Thank you, my noble lord. Now would you please listen once again
to the request I made to you earlier?

Marry, will I. Kneel and repeat it. I will stand, and so shall
Trinculo.

Indeed, I will. Kneel and tell me again. I’ll stand,
and so will Trinculo.
