1. \u00a0All the infections that the sun sucks up
\n2. \u00a0From bogs, fens, flats, on Prosper fall and make him
\n3. \u00a0By inch-meal a disease! His spirits hear me
\n4. \u00a0And yet I needs must curse. But they’ll nor pinch,
\n5. \u00a0Fright me with urchin\u2014shows, pitch me i’ the mire,
\n6. \u00a0Nor lead me, like a firebrand, in the dark
\n7. \u00a0Out of my way, unless he bid ’em; but
\n8. \u00a0For every trifle are they set upon me;
\n9. \u00a0Sometime like apes that mow and chatter at me
\n10. \u00a0And after bite me, then like hedgehogs which
\n11. \u00a0Lie tumbling in my barefoot way and mount
\n12. \u00a0Their pricks at my footfall; sometime am I
\n13. \u00a0All wound with adders who with cloven tongues
\n14. \u00a0Do hiss me into madness.<\/p>\n

[Enter TRINCULO]<\/i><\/p>\n

15. \u00a0Lo, now, lo!
\n16. \u00a0Here comes a spirit of his, and to torment me
\n17. \u00a0For bringing wood in slowly. I’ll fall flat;
\n18. \u00a0Perchance he will not mind me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
