              Enter a SHIPMASTER
                   and a BOATSWAIN

    MASTER.

    Boatswain!

    BOATSWAIN.

    Here,
           master;
        what cheer?

    MASTER.

    Good!

    Heigh,
           my hearts!

    cheerly,
           cheerly,
         my hearts!

    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,
