defend me.

Ste. Four legs and two voices; a most deli-

cate monster! His forward voice now is to

speak well of his friend; his backward voice

is to utter foul speeches, and to detract. If all

the wine in my bottle will recover him, I will

help his ague. Come. Amen! I will pour some

Ste. If thou beest Trinculo, come forth. I'll

pull thee by the lesser legs: if any be Trinculo's

legs, these are they. Thou art very Trinculo

indeed! How cam'st thou to be the siege of this

moon-calf? Can he vent Trinculos?
