Prospero.
So glad of this as they I cannot be,
Who are surprised withal; but my rejoicing
At nothing can be more. I ’ll to my book,
For yet ere supper-time must I perform
Much business appertaining.

SCENE II.
Another part of the island.
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.
