Specimen

SCENE II.]

EDITED BY

W. G. CLARK AND W. A. WRIGHT,

Editors of the Cambridge Edition of "Shakespeare."

THE TEMPEST.

Where thou mayst knock a nail into his head. Ari. Thou liest; thou canst not.

70

Cal. What a pied ninny's this! Thou scurvy patch!

I do beseech thy greatness, give him blows
And take his bottle from him: when that's gone
He shall drink nought but brine; for I'll not
show him

Where the quick freshes are.

Ste. Trinculo, run into no further danger: interrupt the monster one word further, and, by this hand, I'll turn my mercy out o' doors and make a stock-fish of thee.

Trin. Why, what did I? I did nothing. I'll go farther off.

Ste. Didst thou not say he lied?
Ari

Thou liest.

81

Ste. Do I so? take thou that. [Beats Trin.] As you like this, give me the lie another time.

Trin. I did not give the lie. Out o' your wits and hearing too? A pox o' your bottle! this can sack and drinking do. A murrain on your monster, and the devil take your fingers!

Cal. Ha, ha, ha!

Remember

Having first seized his books, or with a log
Batter his skull, or paunch him with a stake,
Or cut his wezand with thy knife.
First to possess his books; for without them
He's but a sot, as I am, nor hath not
One spirit to command: they all do hate him
As rootedly as I. Burn but his books.
He has brave utensils,-for so he calls them,—
Which, when he has a house, he'll deck withal.
And that most deeply to consider is
The beauty of his daughter; he himself
Calls her a nonpareil: I never saw a woman,
But only Sycorax my dam and she;
But she as far surpasseth Sycorax
As great'st does least.

Flout 'em and scout 'em
And scout 'em and flout 'em;
Thought is free.

Cal. That's not the tune.

[Ariel plays the tune on a tabor and pipe. Ste. What is this same?

Trin. This is the tune of our catch, played by the picture of Nobody.

Ste. If thou beest a man, show thyself in thy likeness: if thou beest a devil, take't as thou list. Trin. O, forgive me my sins!

Ste. He that dies pays all debts: I defy thee. Mercy upon us!

Cal. Art thou afeard?
Ste. No, monster, not I.

141

Cal. 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 sometime voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show
riches
150

Ready to drop upon me, that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.

Ste. This will prove a brave kingdom to me, where I shall have my music for nothing. Cal. When Prospero is destroyed.

Ste. That shall be by and by: I remember the story.

Trin. The sound is going away; it, and after do our work.

let's follow

Ste. Lead, monster; we'll follow. I would I could see this taborer; he lays it on. Trin. Wilt come? I'll follow, Stephano.

[Exeunt.

SCENE III. Another part of the island. Enter ALONSO, SEBASTIAN, ANTONIO, GONZALO, ADRIAN, FRANCISCO, and others.

Gon. 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.
A lon.
Old lord, I cannot blame thee,
Who am myself attach'd with weariness,
To the 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. 10
Ant. [Aside to Seb.] I am right glad that he's

so out of hope.

Do not, for one repulse, forego the purpose
That you resolved to effect.

Seb. [Aside to Ant.] The next advantage Will we take throughly.

Ant. [Aside to Seb.] Let it be to-night;
For, now they are oppress'd with travel, they
Will not, nor cannot, use such vigilance
As when they are fresh.

Seb. [Aside to Ant.] I say, to-night: no more.
[Solemn and strange music.
Alon. What harmony is this? My good
friends, hark!
Gon.

Marvellous sweet music!

THE WORKS OF

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

EDITED BY

WILLIAM GEORGE CLARK, M.A.

Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College, and Public Orator in the University of Cambridge,

AND

WILLIAM ALDIŚ WRIGHT, M.A.

Librarian of Trinity College, Cambridge.

"An edition on a plan which differs altogether from that adopted by anya plan so excellent in itself, and so well carried out, that we have no hesitation in saying that it is likely to be, when completed, the most useful one to the scholar and intelligent reader which has yet appeared.”—Athenæum.

"We regard the appearance of the Cambridge Shakespeare as an epoch in editing the works of the foremost man in the dramatic world. Besides many positive virtues in this edition, the hitherto prevailing errors are avoided. The gross blunders and unauthorised fancies of generations of editors are banished from the text; the more tolerable or the less noxious conjectures are removed to the notes; space is allowed and justice is rendered to all former labourers in the editorial field. He who is indifferent to verbal criticism may read in peace an orthodox text; and he who is curious in such matters will find various readings supplied to him in full measure.”—Saturday Review.

"The very edition so long needed, and the most perfect that has ever been produced...... The Shakespearean collection given by Capell to Trinity Library, Cambridge, supplies, say the Editors, a mass of materials almost unrivalled in amount and value, and in some points unique; and they have thus enjoyed facilities for the execution of their task which few besides could have possessed.

..Not only will this Cambridge Shakespeare be the choice of numbers who must be content with a single copy for the shelf and fireside, but all lovers of the dramatist will be compelled and will be eager to add it to the collection of best editions they may already have acquired.”—Nonconformist.

"A work which, when complete, will deserve to take its place as the Library Edition of Shakespeare. While the greater part of the contents can never grow old, it will have a value far superior to that of a conjecturally amended text, or a simple reprint of the first folio. It shows us, with singular conciseness and clearness, how much, or how little, previous editors have been able to do for the text, and thus gives us the results of many men's labours...... We have the result of the latest investigations without the pain of seeing critic or commentator struggling over the text of Shakespeare."— Guardian.
