Act II

Trinculo
Stephano!
Stephano
Doth thy other mouth call me? Mercy, mercy! This is a devil, and no monster: I will leave him; I have no long spoon.
Trinculo
Stephano! If thou beest Stephano, touch me and speak to me; for I am Trinculo⁠—be not afeard⁠—thy good friend Trinculo.
Stephano
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 camest thou to be the siege of this moon-calf? can he vent Trinculos?
Trinculo
I took him to be killed with a thunder-stroke. But art thou not drowned, Stephano? I hope now thou art not drowned. Is the storm overblown? I hid me under the dead moon-calf’s gaberdine for fear of the storm. And art thou living, Stephano? O Stephano, two Neapolitans ’scaped!
Stephano
Prithee, do not turn me about; my stomach is not constant.
Caliban
These be fine things, an if they be not sprites.
That’s a brave god and bears celestial liquor.
I will kneel to him.
Aside.
