SCENE II. Another part of the island
[Enter CALIBAN, with a bottle, STEPHANO, and TRINCULO.]
STEPHANO.
Tell not me: — when the butt is out we will drink
water; not a drop before: therefore bear up, and board
'em. — Servant-monster, drink to me.
TRINCULO.
Servant-monster! The folly of this island! They
say there's but five upon this isle; we are three of
them; if th' other two be brained like us, the state
totters.
STEPHANO.
Drink, servant-monster, when I bid thee: thy
eyes are almost set in thy head.
TRINCULO.
Where should they be set else? He were a brave
monster indeed, if they were set in his tail.
STEPHANO.
My man-monster hath drown'd his tongue in
sack: for my part, the sea cannot drown me; I swam, ere
I could recover the shore, five-and-thirty leagues, off
and on, by this light. Thou shalt be my lieutenant,
monster, or my standard.
TRINCULO.
Your lieutenant, if you list; he's no standard.
STEPHANO.
We'll not run, Monsieur monster.
TRINCULO.
Nor go neither: but you'll lie like dogs, and
yet say nothing neither.
