Act III

Stephano
What is this same?
Trinculo
This is the tune of our catch, played by the picture of Nobody.
Stephano
If thou beest a man, show thyself in thy likeness: if thou beest a devil, take’t as thou list.
Trinculo
O, forgive me my sins!
Stephano
He that dies pays all debts: I defy thee. Mercy upon us!
Caliban
Art thou afeard?
Stephano
No, monster, not I.
Caliban
Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.
Stephano
This will prove a brave kingdom to me, where I shall have my music for nothing.
