Boatswain!\\

\boaspeaks
Here, master: what cheer?\\

\shispeaks
Good! Speak to the mariners: fall to't yarely, or we run ourselves aground: bestir, bestir.\\
%% 
%% \direct*{Exit.}
\direct{Enter \mar}
%% 
%% [Enter MARINERS]
%% 
%% BOATSWAIN.
%% 
%%     Heigh, my hearts! cheerly, cheerly, my hearts!
%%     yare, yare! Take in the topsail. Tend to th' 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, boson?
%% 
%% 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
%%     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 hang'd, our
%%     case is miserable.
%% 
%% [Exeunt]
%% 
%% [Re-enter BOATSWAIN]
%% 
%% BOATSWAIN.
%% 
%%     Down with the topmast! yare! lower, lower!
%%     Bring her to try wi' th' maincourse. [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.
%% 
%% [Enter MARINERS, Wet]
%% 
%% MARINERS.
%% 
%%     All lost! to prayers, to prayers! all lost!
%% 
%% [Exeunt]
%% 
%% BOATSWAIN.
%% 
%%     What, must our mouths be cold?
%% 
%% GONZALO.
%% 
%%     The King and Prince at prayers! let us assist them,
%%     For our case is as theirs.
%% 
%% SEBASTIAN.
%% 
%%     I am out of patience.
%% 
%% ANTONIO.
%% 
%%     We are merely cheated of our lives by drunkards.—
%%     This wide-chapp'd rascal—would thou might'st lie drowning
%%     The washing of ten tides!
