Tell not me; − when the butt is out, we will drink water; not a drop before:
therefore bear up, and board ’em. Servant-monster, drink to me.

TRINCULO
Servant-monster! the folly of this island! They say there’s but five upon this
isle: we are three [5] of them; if th’ other two be brain’d like us, the state
totters.

STEPHANO
Drink, servant-monster, when I bid thee: thy eyes are almost set in thy head.

TRINCULO
Where should they be set else? he were a brave monster indeed if they were
set in his tail. [10]

STEPHANO
My man-monster hath drown’d his tongue in sack: for my part, the sea cannot
drown me; I swam, ere I could recover the shore, five-and-thirty leagues off

and on. By this light, thou shalt be my lieutenant, monster, or my standard.
[15]

TRINCULO
Your lieutenant, if you list; he’s no standard.

STEPHANO
We’ll not run, Monsieur Monster.

TRINCULO
Nor go neither; but you’ll lie, like dogs, and yet say nothing neither.

STEPHANO
Moon-calf, speak once in thy life, if thou [20] beest a good moon-calf.

CALIBAN
How does thy honour? Let me lick thy shoe: I’ll not serve him, he is not

valiant.
