On the bat's back I do fly,
Not a frown further. Go, release them, Ariel!
My charms I'll break; their senses I'll restore,

After summer, merrily :
And they shall be themselves.

Merrily, merrily, shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.

Trin. That's more to me than my wetting: get this

Ste. I will fetch off my bottle, though I be o'er ears

This is the mouth o’the cell: no noise, and enter:
Do that good mischief, which may make this island
Thine own for ever, and I, thy Caliban,
For aye thy foot-licker,

Ste. Give me thy hand! I do begin to have bloody
thoughts,

Trin. Oking Stephano! O peer! O worthy Stephano!
look, what a wardrobe here is for thee!

Cal. Let it alone, thou fool; it is but trash.
Trin. 0, ho, monster; we know what belongs to :
frippery :-O king Stephano!

Ste. Put off that gown, Trinculo; by this hand,
l'll have that gown.

Trin. Thy grace shall have it. Cal. The dropsy drown this fool! what do you mean, To doat thus on such laggage? Let's along, And do the murder first: if he awake, From toe to crown he'll fill our skins with pinches ; Make us strange stuff. Ste. Be you quiet, monster!- Mistress líne, is not this my jerkin ? Now is the jerkin under the line: now, jerkin, you are like to lose your hair, and prore a bald jerkin.

SCENEI. - An open place in Verona. The eating canker dwells, so eating love
Enter VALENTINE and Proteus.

Inhabits in the finest wits of all.
Val. Cease to persuade, my loving Proteus!

Val. And writers say, As the most forward bud
Home-keeping youth have ever homely wits: Is eaten by the canker, ere it blow,
Wer't not, affection chains thy tender days

Even so by love the young and tender wit
To the swect glances of thy honour'd love,

Is turn'd to folly; blasting in the bud, I rather would entreat thy company,

Losing his verdure even in the prime, To see the wonders of the world abroad,

And all the fair e!fects of future hopes. Than, living dully sluggardiz'd at home,

But wherefore waste I time to counsel thee, Wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness.

That art a votary to food desire? But, since thou lov'st, love still, and thrive therein, Once more

adieu ! father at the road Even as I would, when I to love begin.

Pro. Wilt thou be gone? Sweet Valentine, adica ! Pro. And thither will I bring thee, Valentine.
Think on thy Proteus, whcu thon, haply, seest Val.Sweet Proteus, no! now let us take our leave.
Some rare note-worthy object in thy travel!

At Milan, let me hear from thee by letters,
Wish me partaker in thy happiness,

Of thy success in love, and what uews else
When thon dost meet good hap; and in thy danger, Betideth here, in absence of thy friend;
If ever danger do environ thee,

And Nik ewise will visit thee with mine.
Commend thy grievance to my holy prayers !

Pro. All happiness bechance to thee in Milan! For I will be thy bead's-man, Valentine !

Val. As much to you at home! and so, farewell! Val. And on a love-book pray for my success!

(Exit Valentine. Pro. Upon some book, I'll love, I'll pray for thee. Pro. He after honour hunts, I after love;

Val. That's on some shallow story of deep love, IIe leaves his friends, to dignify them more;
How young Leander cross’d the Hellespont. I leave myself, my friends, and all for love.
Pro. That's a deep story ofa deeper love;

Thou, Julia, thou hast metamorphos'd me,
For he was more than over shoes in love.

Made me neglect my studies, lose my time,
Val. 'Tis true; for you are over boots in love, War with good counsel, set the world at nonght:
Aud yet you never swom the Hellespont.

Made wit with musing weak, heart sick with thought.
Pro. Over the boots ? nay, give me not the boots !

Enter Speed. l'al. No, I'll not, forit boots thee not.

Speed. Sir Proteus, save you! Saw you my master ? Pro. What?

Pro. But now he parted hence, to embark för Milan.
Val. To be

Speed. Twenty to one then, he is shipp'd already;
In love, where scorn is bought with groans; coy looks, And I have play'd the sheep, in losing him.
With heart-sore sighs; one fading moment's mirth, Pro. Indeed a sheep doth very often stray,
With twenty watchful, weary, tedious nights : An if the shepherd be awhile away.
If haply won, perhaps, a hapless gain;

Speed. You couclude that my master is a shepherd
If lost, why then a grievous labour won ;

Or else a wit by folly vanquished.

Val.So, by your circumstance, I fear, you'll prove Pro. A silly answer, and fitting well a sheep!
Pro. 'Tis love you cavil at; I am not Love.

Speed. This proves me still a sheep.
Val. Love is your master, for he masters you : Pro. True; and thy mastera shepherd.
And he, that is so yoked by a fool,

Speed. Nay, that I can deny by a circumstance.
