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 sometimes voices , That , if I then had wak’d 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 wak’d , I cried to dream again . STEPHANO . This will prove a brave kingdom to me , where I shall have my music for nothing . CALIBAN . When Prospero is destroyed . STEPHANO . That shall be by and by : I remember the story . TRINCULO . The sound is going away . Let’s follow it , and after do our work . STEPHANO . Lead , monster : we’ll follow . I would I could see this taborer ! he lays it on . Wilt come ? TRINCULO . I’ll follow , Stephano . [ Exeunt . ] SCENE III . Another part of the island . Enter Alonso , Sebastian , Antonio , Gonzalo , Adrian , Francisco , & c . GONZALO . By ’ r lakin , I can go no further , sir ; My old bones ache : here’s a maze trod , indeed , Through forth - rights and meanders ! By your patience , I needs must rest me . ALONSO . Old lord , I cannot blame thee , Who am myself attach’d with weariness To th ’ dulling of my spirits : sit down , and rest . Even here I will put off my hope , and keep it No longer for my flatterer : he is drown’d Whom thus we stray to find ; and the sea mocks Our frustrate search on land . Well , let him go . ANTONIO . [ Aside to Sebastian . ] I am right glad that he’s so out of hope . Do not , for one repulse , forgo the purpose That you resolv’d to effect . SEBASTIAN . [ Aside to Antonio . ] The next advantage Will we take throughly . ANTONIO . [ Aside to Sebastian . ] Let it be tonight ; For , now they are oppress’d with travel , they Will not , nor cannot , use such vigilance As when they are fresh . SEBASTIAN . [ Aside to Antonio . ] I say , tonight : no more . Solemn and strange music : and Prospero above , invisible . Enter several strange Shapes , bringing in a banquet : they dance about it with gentle actions of salutation ; and inviting the King & c . , to eat , they depart . ALONSO . What harmony is this ? My good friends , hark ! GONZALO . Marvellous sweet music ! ALONSO . Give us kind keepers , heavens ! What were these ? SEBASTIAN . A living drollery . Now I will believe That there are unicorns ; that in Arabia There is one tree , the phoenix ’ throne ; one phoenix At this hour reigning there . ANTONIO . I’ll believe both ; And what does else want credit , come to me , And I’ll be sworn ’ tis true : travellers ne’er did lie , Though fools at home condemn them .
