To every eyeball else. Go take this shape
|
And hither come in't: go, hence with diligence!
|
Awake, dear heart, awake! thou hast slept well; Awake!
|
MIRANDA:
|
The strangeness of your story put
|
Heaviness in me.
|
PROSPERO:
|
Shake it off. Come on;
|
We'll visit Caliban my slave, who never
|
Yields us kind answer.
|
MIRANDA:
|
'Tis a villain, sir,
|
I do not love to look on.
|
PROSPERO:
|
But, as 'tis,
|
We cannot miss him: he does make our fire,
|
Fetch in our wood and serves in offices
|
That profit us. What, ho! slave! Caliban!
|
Thou earth, thou! speak.
|
CALIBAN:
|
PROSPERO:
|
Come forth, I say! there's other business for thee:
|
Come, thou tortoise! when?
|
Fine apparition! My quaint Ariel,
|
Hark in thine ear.
|
ARIEL:
|
My lord it shall be done.
|
PROSPERO:
|
Thou poisonous slave, got by the devil himself
|
Upon thy wicked dam, come forth!
|
CALIBAN:
|
As wicked dew as e'er my mother brush'd
|
With raven's feather from unwholesome fen
|
Drop on you both! a south-west blow on ye
|
And blister you all o'er!
|
PROSPERO:
|
For this, be sure, to-night thou shalt have cramps,
|
Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up; urchins
|
Shall, for that vast of night that they may work,
|
All exercise on thee; thou shalt be pinch'd
|
As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging
|
Than bees that made 'em.
|
CALIBAN:
|
I must eat my dinner.
|
This island's mine, by Sycorax my mother,
|
Which thou takest from me. When thou camest first,
|
Thou strokedst me and madest much of me, wouldst give me
|
Water with berries in't, and teach me how
|
To name the bigger light, and how the less,
|
That burn by day and night: and then I loved thee
|
And show'd thee all the qualities o' the isle,
|
The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile:
|
Cursed be I that did so! All the charms
|
Of Sycorax, toads, beetles, bats, light on you!
|
For I am all the subjects that you have,
|
Which first was mine own king: and here you sty me
|
In this hard rock, whiles you do keep from me
|
The rest o' the island.
|
PROSPERO:
|
Thou most lying slave,
|
Whom stripes may move, not kindness! I have used thee,
|
Filth as thou art, with human care, and lodged thee
|
In mine own cell, till thou didst seek to violate
|
The honour of my child.
|
CALIBAN:
|
O ho, O ho! would't had been done!
|
Thou didst prevent me; I had peopled else
|
This isle with Calibans.
|
PROSPERO:
|
Abhorred slave,
|
Which any print of goodness wilt not take,
|
Being capable of all ill! I pitied thee,
|
Took pains to make thee speak, taught thee each hour
|
One thing or other: when thou didst not, savage,
|
Know thine own meaning, but wouldst gabble like
|
A thing most brutish, I endow'd thy purposes
|
With words that made them known. But thy vile race,
|
Though thou didst learn, had that in't which
|
good natures
|
Could not abide to be with; therefore wast thou
|
Deservedly confined into this rock,
|
Who hadst deserved more than a prison.
|
CALIBAN:
|
You taught me language; and my profit on't
|
Is, I know how to curse. The red plague rid you
|
