THE TEMPEST
ACT 1 SCENE 1 [On a ship at sea; a tempestuous noise of thunder and
lightning heard]
[Enter a SHIPMASTER and a BOATSWAIN severally]
MASTER. Boatswain!
BOATSWAIN. Here, master: what cheer?
MASTER. Good! Speak to the mariners: fall to't yarely, or we run
ourselves aground: bestir, bestir.

[Exit]
[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
