Enter CALIBAN, STEPHANO, and TRINCULO

STEPHANO 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 of them; if th' other two be brained 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.

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.
