The Tempest, II. ii
43

Ste. Out o' the moon, I do assure thee: I was
the man in the moon, when time was.

Cal. I have seen thee in her, and I do adore
thee; my mistress showed me thee, and thy dog,
and thy bush. 152

Ste. Come, swear to that; kiss the book; I
will furnish it anon with new contents; swear.

Trin. By this good light, this is a very shallow
monster.—I afeard of him!—a very weak mon-
ster.—The man i' the moon! a most poor credu-
lous monster!—Well drawn, monster, in good
sooth.

Cal. I'll show thee every fertile inch o' th' island; 160
And I will kiss thy foot. I prithee, be my god.

Trin. By this light, a most perfidious and
drunken monster: when's god's asleep, he'll
rob his bottle. 164

Cal. I'll kiss thy foot: I'll swear myself thy subject.

Ste. Come on then; down, and swear.

Trin. I shall laugh myself to death at this
puppy-headed monster. A most scurvy mon-
ster! I could find in my heart to beat him,— 169

Ste. Come, kiss.

Trin. But that the poor monster's in drink:
an abominable monster! 172

Cal. I'll shew thee the best springs; I'll pluck thee berries;
I'll fish for thee, and get thee wood enough.
A plague upon the tyrant that I serve!
I'll bear him no more sticks, but follow thee
Thou wondrous man. 177
