_Cal._ I’ll show thee every fertile inch o’ th’ island; And I will kiss thy foot: I prithee, be my god.
_Trin._ By this light, a most perfidious and drunken 140 monster! when’s god’s asleep, he’ll rob his bottle.
_Cal._ I’ll kiss thy foot; I’ll swear myself thy subject.
_Trin._ I shall laugh myself to death at this puppy-headed monster. A most scurvy monster! I could find in 145 my heart to beat him,--
_Trin._ But that the poor monster’s in drink: an abominable monster!
_Cal._ I’ll show thee the best springs; I’ll pluck thee berries; 150 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.
_Trin._ A most ridiculous monster, to make a wonder 155 of a poor drunkard!
_Cal._ I prithee, let me bring thee where crabs grow; And I with my long nails will dig thee pig-nuts; Show thee a jay’s nest, and instruct thee how To snare the nimble marmoset; I’ll bring thee 160 To clustering filberts, and sometimes I’ll get thee Young scamels from the rock. Wilt thou go with me?
_Ste._ I prithee now, lead the way, without any more talking. Trinculo, the king and all our company else being drowned, we will inherit here: here; bear my bottle: fellow 165 Trinculo, we’ll fill him by and by again.
_Cal. sings drunkenly._] Farewell, master; farewell, farewell!
_Trin._ A howling monster; a drunken monster!
_Cal._ No more dams I’ll make for fish; Nor fetch in firing 170 At requiring; Nor scrape trencher, nor wash dish: ’Ban, ’Ban, Cacaliban Has a new master:--get a new man.
Freedom, hey-day! hey-day, freedom! freedom, hey-day, 175 freedom!
_Ste._ O brave monster! Lead the way. [_Exeunt._
