The Tempest Stephano complete text shakespearecandle.com Stephano. I shall no more to sea, to sea, 2.2.47 Here shall I die ashore -- 2.2.48 This is a very scurvy tune to sing at a man's 2.2.49 funeral: well, here's my comfort. 2.2.50 Drinks Sings The master, the swabber, the boatswain and I, 2.2.51 The gunner and his mate 2.2.52 Loved Mall, Meg and Marian and Margery, 2.2.53 But none of us cared for Kate; 2.2.54 For she had a tongue with a tang, 2.2.55 Would cry to a sailor, Go hang! 2.2.56 She loved not the savour of tar nor of pitch, 2.2.57 Yet a tailor might scratch her where'er she did itch: 2.2.58 Then to sea, boys, and let her go hang! 2.2.59 This is a scurvy tune too: but here's my comfort. 2.2.60 Drinks Stephano. What's the matter? Have we devils here? Do you put 2.2.62 tricks upon's with savages and men of Ind, ha? I 2.2.63 have not scaped drowning to be afeard now of your 2.2.64 four legs; for it hath been said, As proper a man as 2.2.65 ever went on four legs cannot make him give ground; 2.2.66 and it shall be said so again while Stephano 2.2.67 breathes at's nostrils. 2.2.68 Stephano. This is some monster of the isle with four legs, who 2.2.70 hath got, as I take it, an ague. Where the devil 2.2.71 should he learn our language? I will give him some 2.2.72 relief, if it be but for that. if I can recover him 2.2.73 and keep him tame and get to Naples with him, he's a 2.2.74 present for any emperor that ever trod on neat's leather. 2.2.75 Stephano. He's in his fit now and does not talk after the 2.2.77 wisest. He shall taste of my bottle: if he have 2.2.78 never drunk wine afore will go near to remove his 2.2.79 fit. If I can recover him and keep him tame, I will 2.2.80 not take too much for him; he shall pay for him that 2.2.81 hath him, and that soundly. 2.2.82 Stephano. Come on your ways; open your mouth; here is that 2.2.85 page 1 shakespearecandle.com The Tempest - character extract which will give language to you, cat: open your 2.2.86 mouth; this will shake your shaking, I can tell you, 2.2.87 and that soundly: you cannot tell who's your friend: 2.2.88 open your chaps again. 2.2.89 Stephano. Four legs and two voices: a most delicate monster! 2.2.92 His forward voice now is to speak well of his 2.2.93 friend; his backward voice is to utter foul speeches 2.2.94 and to detract. If all the wine in my bottle will 2.2.95 recover him, I will help his ague. Come. Amen! I 2.2.96 will pour some in thy other mouth. 2.2.97 Stephano. Doth thy other mouth call me? Mercy, mercy! This is 2.2.99 a devil, and no monster: I will leave him; I have no 2.2.100 long spoon. 2.2.101 Stephano. If thou beest Trinculo, come forth: I'll pull thee 2.2.105 by the lesser legs: if any be Trinculo's legs, 2.2.106 these are they. Thou art very Trinculo indeed! How 2.2.107 camest thou to be the siege of this moon -calf? can 2.2.108 he vent Trinculos? 2.2.109 Stephano. Prithee, do not turn me about; my stomach is not constant. 2.2.116 Stephano. How didst thou 'scape? How camest thou hither? 2.2.121 swear by this bottle how thou camest hither. I 2.2.122 escaped upon a butt of sack which the sailors 2.2.123 heaved o'erboard, by this bottle; which I made of 2.2.124 the bark of a tree with mine own hands since I was 2.2.125 cast ashore. 2.2.126 Stephano. Here; swear then how thou escapedst. 2.2.129 Stephano. Here, kiss the book. Though thou canst swim like a 2.2.132 duck, thou art made like a goose. 2.2.133 Stephano. The whole butt, man: my cellar is in a rock by the 2.2.135 sea -side where my wine is hid. How now, moon -calf! 2.2.136 how does thine ague? 2.2.137 Stephano. Out o' the moon, I do assure thee: I was the man i' 2.2.139 the moon when time was. 2.2.140 page 2 shakespearecandle.com The Tempest - character extract Stephano. Come, swear to that; kiss the book: I will furnish 2.2.143 it anon with new contents swear. 2.2.144 Stephano. Come on then; down, and swear. 2.2.154 Stephano. Come, kiss. 2.2.158 Stephano. I prithee now, lead the way without any more 2.2.173 talking. Trinculo, the king and all our company 2.2.174 else being drowned, we will inherit here: here; 2.2.175 bear my bottle: fellow Trinculo, we'll fill him by 2.2.176 and by again. 2.2.177 Stephano. O brave monster! Lead the way. 2.2.189 Exeunt Stephano. Tell not me; when the butt is out, we will drink 3.2.1 water; not a drop before: therefore bear up, and 3.2.2 board 'em. Servant -monster, drink to me. 3.2.3 Stephano. Drink, servant -monster, when I bid thee: thy eyes 3.2.8 are almost set in thy head. 3.2.9 Stephano. My man -monster hath drown'd his tongue in sack: 3.2.12 for my part, the sea cannot drown me; I swam, ere I 3.2.13 could recover the shore, five and thirty leagues off 3.2.14 and on. By this light, thou shalt be my lieutenant, 3.2.15 monster, or my standard. 3.2.16 Stephano. We'll not run, Monsieur Monster. 3.2.18 Stephano. Moon -calf, speak once in thy life, if thou beest a 3.2.21 good moon -calf. 3.2.22 Stephano. Trinculo, keep a good tongue in your head: if you 3.2.33 prove a mutineer, -- the next tree! The poor monster's 3.2.34 my subject and he shall not suffer indignity. 3.2.35 Stephano. Marry, will I kneel and repeat it; I will stand, 3.2.38 and so shall Trinculo. 3.2.39 Enter ARIEL, invisible page 3 shakespearecandle.com The Tempest - character extract Stephano. Trinculo, if you trouble him any more in's tale, by 3.2.45 this hand, I will supplant some of your teeth. 3.2.46 Stephano. Mum, then, and no more. Proceed. 3.2.48 Stephano. That's most certain. 3.2.53 Stephano. How now shall this be compassed? 3.2.55 Canst thou bring me to the party? 3.2.56 Stephano. Trinculo, run into no further danger: 3.2.65 interrupt the monster one word further, and, 3.2.66 by this hand, I'll turn my mercy out o' doors 3.2.67 and make a stock -fish of thee. 3.2.68 Stephano. Didst thou not say he lied? 3.2.71 Stephano. Do I so? take thou that. 3.2.73 Beats TRINCULO As you like this, give me the lie another time. 3.2.74 Stephano. Now, forward with your tale. Prithee, stand farther 3.2.80 off. 3.2.81 Stephano. Stand farther. Come, proceed. 3.2.84 Stephano. Is it so brave a lass? 3.2.102 Stephano. Monster, I will kill this man: his daughter and I 3.2.105 will be king and queen -- save our graces! -- and 3.2.106 Trinculo and thyself shall be viceroys. Dost thou 3.2.107 like the plot, Trinculo? 3.2.108 Stephano. Give me thy hand: I am sorry I beat thee; but, 3.2.110 while thou livest, keep a good tongue in thy head. 3.2.111 Stephano. Ay, on mine honour. 3.2.114 Stephano. At thy request, monster, I will do reason, any 3.2.119 page 4 shakespearecandle.com The Tempest - character extract reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. 3.2.120 Sings Flout 'em and scout 'em 3.2.121 And scout 'em and flout 'em 3.2.122 Thought is free. 3.2.123 Stephano. What is this same? 3.2.125 Stephano. If thou beest a man, show thyself in thy likeness: 3.2.128 if thou beest a devil, take't as thou list. 3.2.129 Stephano. He that dies pays all debts: I defy thee. Mercy upon us! 3.2.131 Stephano. No, monster, not I. 3.2.133 Stephano. This will prove a brave kingdom to me, where I shall 3.2.143 have my music for nothing. 3.2.144 Stephano. That shall be by and by: I remember the story. 3.2.146 Stephano. Lead, monster; we'll follow. I would I could see 3.2.149 this tabourer; he lays it on.
