Deservedly confin'd into this rock, who hadst
Deserv'd more than a prison. CALIBAN. You taught me language, and my profit on't Is, I know how to curse: the red plague rid you, For learning me your language! PROSPERO. Hag-seed, hence! Fetch us in fuel; and be quick, thou 'rt best, To answer other business. Shrug'st thou, malice? If thou neglect'st, or dost unwillingly What I command, I'll rack thee with old cramps, Fill all thy bones with aches; make thee roar, That beasts shall tremble at thy din. CALIBAN. No, pray thee.-- [Aside] I must obey. His art is of such power, It would control my dam's god, Setebos, And make a vassal of him. PROSPERO. So, slave: hence! [Exit CALIBAN] [Re-enter ARIEL invisible, playing and singing; FERDINAND following] |
