Caliban: All the infections that the sun sucks upFrom bogs, fens, flats, on Prosper fall and make himBy inchmeal a disease! His spirits hear me,And yet I needs must curse. But they’ll nor pinch me I’ th’ mire,Nor lead me like a firebrand in the darkOut of my way, unless he bid ‘em. But For every trifle are they set upon me,Sometimes like apes, that mow and chatter at meAnd after bite me; then like hedgehogs, whichLie tumbling in my barefoot way and mountTheir pricks at my footfall. Sometime am I All wound with adders, who with cloven tonguesDo hiss me into madness. Lo, now, lo! Here comes a spirit of his, and to torment meFor bringing wood in slowly. I’ll fall flat. Perchance he will not mind me.
