for the name of king? To cabin: silence! trouble us not.
|
GONZALO:
|
Good, yet remember whom thou hast aboard.
|
Boatswain:
|
None that I more love than myself. You are a
|
counsellor; if you can command these elements to
|
silence, and work the peace of the present, we will
|
not hand a rope more; use your authority: if you
|
cannot, give thanks you have lived so long, and make
|
yourself ready in your cabin for the mischance of
|
the hour, if it so hap. Cheerly, good hearts! Out
|
of our way, I say.
|
GONZALO:
|
I have great comfort from this fellow: methinks he
|
hath no drowning mark upon him; his complexion is
|
perfect gallows. Stand fast, good Fate, to his
|
hanging: make the rope of his destiny our cable,
|
for our own doth little advantage. If he be not
|
born to be hanged, our case is miserable.
|
Boatswain:
|
Down with the topmast! yare! lower, lower! Bring
|
her to try with main-course.
|
A plague upon this howling! they are louder than
|
the weather or our office.
|
Yet again! what do you here? Shall we give o'er
|
and drown? Have you a mind to sink?
|
SEBASTIAN:
|
A pox o' your throat, you bawling, blasphemous,
|
incharitable dog!
|
Boatswain:
|
Work you then.
|
ANTONIO:
|
Hang, cur! hang, you whoreson, insolent noisemaker!
|
We are less afraid to be drowned than thou art.
|
GONZALO:
|
I'll warrant him for drowning; though the ship were
|
no stronger than a nutshell and as leaky as an
|
unstanched wench.
|
Boatswain:
|
Lay her a-hold, a-hold! set her two courses off to
|
sea again; lay her off.
|
Mariners:
|
All lost! to prayers, to prayers! all lost!
|
Boatswain:
|
What, must our mouths be cold?
|
GONZALO:
|
The king and prince at prayers! let's assist them,
|
For our case is as theirs.
|
SEBASTIAN:
|
I'm out of patience.
|
ANTONIO:
|
We are merely cheated of our lives by drunkards:
|
This wide-chapp'd rascal--would thou mightst lie drowning
|
The washing of ten tides!
|
GONZALO:
|
He'll be hang'd yet,
|
Though every drop of water swear against it
|
And gape at widest to glut him.
|
ANTONIO:
|
Let's all sink with the king.
|
SEBASTIAN:
|
Let's take leave of him.
|
GONZALO:
|
Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea for an
|
acre of barren ground, long heath, brown furze, any
|
thing. The wills above be done! but I would fain
|
die a dry death.
|
MIRANDA:
|
If by your art, my dearest father, you have
|
Put the wild waters in this roar, allay them.
|
The sky, it seems, would pour down stinking pitch,
|
But that the sea, mounting to the welkin's cheek,
|
Dashes the fire out. O, I have suffered
|
With those that I saw suffer: a brave vessel,
|
Who had, no doubt, some noble creature in her,
|
Dash'd all to pieces. O, the cry did knock
|
Against my very heart. Poor souls, they perish'd.
|
Had I been any god of power, I would
|
Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere
|
It should the good ship so have swallow'd and
|
The fraughting souls within her.
