CALIBAN

Art thou afeard?

CALIBAN

Art thou afeard?

STEPHANO

No, monster, not I.

STEPHANO

No, monster, not I.

CALIBAN

Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises,
130 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,
135 The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked
I cried to dream again.

This will prove a brave kingdom to me, where I shall have my music for nothing.
