Ari. That's my noble master!

What shall I do? say what? what shall I do?

Pro. Go make thyself like a nymph of the sea: be subject

To no sight but thine and mine; invisible

To every eyeball else. Go, take this shape,

And hither come in 't: go, hence with diligence!

Mira. The strangeness of your story put

Heaviness in me.

Pro. Shake it off. Come on;

We'll visit Caliban my slave, who never

Mira. 'Tis a villain, sir,

I do not love to look on.

Pro. But, as 'tis,

We cannot miss him: he does make our fire,

Fetch in our wood; and serves in offices

That profit us.—What ho! slave! Caliban!

Thou earth, thou! speak.

Cal. within. There's wood enough within.

Pro. Come forth, I say; there's other business for thee:

Come, thou tortoise! when?
