him: he shall pay for him that hath him, and
that soundly. 84

Cal. Thou dost me yet but little hurt; thou
wilt anon, I know it by thy trembling: now
Prosper works upon thee. 87

Ste. Come on your ways: open your mouth;
here is that which will give language to you, cat.
Open your mouth: this will shake your shaking,
I can tell you, and that soundly: you cannot
tell who's your friend; open your chaps
again.

Trin. I should know that voice: it should
be—but he is drowned, and these are devils. O!
defend me. 96

Ste. Four legs and two voices; a most deli-
cate monster! His forward voice now is to
speak well of his friend; his backward voice
is to utter foul speeches, and to detract. If all
the wine in my bottle will recover him, I will
help his ague. Come. Amen! I will pour some
in thy other mouth.

Trin. Stephano! 104

Ste. Doth thy other mouth call me? Mercy!
mercy! This is a devil, and no monster: I will
leave him; I have no long spoon.

Trin. Stephano!—if thou beest Stephano,
touch me, and speak to me; for I am Trinculo:
—be not afeard—thy good friend Trinculo. 110

Ste. If thou beest Trinculo, come forth. I'll
pull thee by the lesser legs: if any be Trinculo's
legs, these are they. Thou art very Trinculo
indeed! How cam'st thou to be the siege of this
moon-calf? Can he vent Trinculos? 115
