The Tempest / The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [9 vols.]

General Notes are in their original location at the end of the play, followed by the text-critical notes originally printed at the bottom of each page. All notes are hyperlinked in both directions. In dialogue, a link from a speaker’s name generally means that the note applies to the entire line or group of lines.
Line numbers—shown in the right margin and used for all notes—are from the original text. In prose passages the exact line counts will depend on your browser settings, and will probably be different from the displayed numbers. Stage directions were not included in the line numbering.



Mast. Boatswain!
Boats. Here, master: what cheer?
Alon. Good boatswain, have care. Where’s the master? Play the men.
10 Boats. I pray now, keep below.
Boats. Do you not hear him? You mar our labour: keep your cabins: you do assist the storm.
Gon. Nay, good, be patient.
Gon. Good, yet remember whom thou hast aboard.
