very Trinculo indeed! How earnest thou to be the siege[414-21] of this moon-calf?[414-22] _Trin._ I took him to be kill'd with a thunder-stroke. But art thou not drown'd, Stephano? I hope, now, thou art not drown'd?[415-23] Is the storm overblown? I hid me under the dead moon-calf's gaberdine for fear of the storm. And art thou living, Stephano? O Stephano, two Neapolitans 'scaped! _Steph._ Pr'ythee, do not turn me about; my stomach is not constant.[415-24] _Cal._ [_Aside._] These be fine things, an if[415-25] they be not sprites. That's a brave god, and bears celestial liquor: I will kneel to him. _Steph._ How didst thou 'scape? How camest thou hither? swear, by this bottle, how thou camest hither. I escaped upon a butt of sack,[415-26] which the sailors heaved o'erboard, by this bottle! which I made of the bark of a tree with mine own hands, since I was cast ashore. _Cal._ I'll swear, upon that bottle, to be thy True subject; for the liquor is not earthly. _Steph._ Here; swear, man, how thou escapedst. _Trin._ Swam ashore, man, like a duck: I can swim like a duck, I'll be sworn. _Steph._ Here kiss the book. [_Gives him drink._] Though thou canst swim like a duck, thou art made like a goose. _Trin._ O Stephano, hast any more of this? _Steph._ The whole butt, man: my cellar is in a rock by the sea-side, where my wine is hid.--How now, moon-calf! how does thine ague? _Cal._ Hast thou not dropp'd from heaven? _Steph._ Out o' the Moon, I do assure thee: I was the Man-i'-the-moon when time was. _Cal._ I've seen thee in her, and I do adore thee: My mistress show'd me thee, and thy dog, and thy bush.[416-27] _Steph._ Come, swear to that; kiss the book: I will furnish it anon with new contents: swear. [_Gives CALIBAN drink._ _Trin._ By this good light, this is a very shallow monster!--I afeared of him!--a very weak monster!--_The Man-i'-the-moon!_--a most poor credulous monster!--Well drawn,[416-28] monster, in good sooth. _Cal._ I'll show thee every fertile inch o' the island; And I will kiss thy foot: I pr'ythee, be my god. _Trin._ By this light, a most perfidious and drunken monster! when his god's asleep, he'll rob his bottle. _Cal._ I'll kiss thy foot; I'll swear myself thy subject. _Steph._ Come on then; down, and swear. _Trin._ I shall laugh myself to death at this puppy-headed monster. A most scurvy monster! I could find in my
