The Tempest: Beyond World's Classics

By: Shakespeare, William

Master Boatswain Boatswain Here, master: what cheer?Master Good, speak to the mariners: fall to't, yarely, or we run ourselves aground: bestir, bestir. Exit] Enter Mariners]Boatswain Heigh, my hearts cheerly, cheerly, my hearts yare, yare Take in the topsail. Tend to the master's whistle. Blow, till thou burst thy wind, if room enough Enter ALONSO, SEBASTIAN, ANTONIO, FERDINAND, GONZALO, and others]ALONSO Good boatswain, have care. Where's the master?Play the men.Boatswain I pray now, keep below.ANTONIO Where is the master, boatswain?Boatswain Do you not hear him? You mar our labour: keep your cabins: you do assist the storm.GONZALO Nay, good, be patient.Boatswain When the sea is. Hence What cares these roarers for the name of king? To cabin: silence trouble us not.GONZALO Good, yet remember whom thou hast aboard.Boatswain None that I more love than myself. You are a counsellor; if you can command these elements to silence, and work the peace of the present, we will not hand a rope more; use your authority: if you cannot, give thanks you have lived so long, and make yourself ready in your cabin for the mischance of the hour, if it so hap. Cheerly, good hearts Out of our way, I say. Exit]GONZALO I have great comfort from this fellow: methinks he hath no drowning mark upon him; his complexion is perfect gallows. Stand fast, good Fate, to his hanging: make the rope of his destiny our cable, for our own doth little advantage. If he be not born to be hanged, our case is miserable. Exeunt]Re-enter Boatswain Boatswain Down with the topmast yare lower, lower Bring her to try with main-course.A cry within A plague upon this howling they are louder than the weather or our office.Re-enter SEBASTIAN, ANTONIO, and GONZALO Yet again what do you here? Shall we give o'er and drown? Have you a mind to sink?SEBASTIAN A pox o' your throat, you bawling, blasphemous, incharitable dog Boatswain Work you then.ANTONIO Hang, cur hang, you whoreson, insolent noisemaker We are less afraid to be drowned than thou art.GONZALO I'll warrant him for drowning; though the ship were no stronger than a nutshell and as leaky as an unstanched wench.Boatswain Lay her a-hold, a-hold set her two courses off to sea again; lay her off.
