We wish your peace.
Come with a thought; I thank thee
Ariell:
come.
Thy thoughts I cleaue to, what's thy pleasure?
Spirit: We must prepare to meet with
Caliban.
Say again, where didst thou leaue these varlots?
I go, I goe.
Pray you tread softly, that the blinde Mole may
not heare a foot fall: we now are neere his Cell.
Thou wert but a lost Monster.
I, but to loose our bottles in the Poole.
Let it alone thou foole, it is but trash.
Oh, ho, Monster: wee know what belongs to a
frippery, O King
Stephano.
Thy grace shall haue it.
Be you quiet (Monster) Mistris line, is not this
my Ierkin? now is the Ierkin vnder the line: now Ier
kin you are like to lose your haire, & proue a bald Ierkin.
Doe, doe; we steale by lyne and leuell, and't
like your grace.
I thank thee for that iest; heer's a garment for't:
Wit shall not goe vn‑rewarded while I am King of this
Country: Steale by line and leuell, is an excellent passe
of pate: there's another garment for't.
Monster, come put some Lime vpon your fin
gers, and away with the rest.
Monster, lay to your fingers: helpe to beare this
away, where my hogshead of wine is, or Ile turne you
out of my kingdome: goe to, carry this.
And this.
I, and this.
Hey
Mountaine, hey.
Siluer: there it goes,
Siluer.
Harke, they rore.
