Act IV

Trinculo
Monster, I do smell all horse-piss; at which my nose is in great indignation.
Stephano
So is mine. Do you hear, monster? If I should take a displeasure against you, look you⁠—
Trinculo
Thou wert but a lost monster.
Caliban
Good my lord, give me thy favour still.
Be patient, for the prize I’ll bring thee to
Shall hoodwink this mischance: therefore speak softly.
All’s hush’d as midnight yet.
Trinculo
Ay, but to lose our bottles in the pool⁠—
Stephano
There is not only disgrace and dishonour in that, monster, but an infinite loss.
Trinculo
That’s more to me than my wetting: yet this is your harmless fairy, monster.
Stephano
I will fetch off my bottle, though I be o’er ears for my labour.
Caliban
This is the mouth o’ the cell: no noise, and enter.
Do that good mischief which may make this island
Thine own for ever, and I, thy Caliban,
For aye thy foot-licker.
