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

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?

mutineer, the next tree. The poor monster’s my subject
and
he shall not suffer indignity.

I’ll hang you from the next tree. This poor monster is my
subject, and I will not allow him to be insulted.

and so will Trinculo.
