Faith,
sir, you need not fear. When we were boys,
Who
would believe that there were mountaineers
Dew-lapp’s
like bulls, whose throats had hanging at ‘em
Wallets
of flesh? Or that there were such men
Whose
heads stood in their breasts? Which now we find
Each
putter-out of five for one will bring us
Good
warrant of.

The Tempest Act
III, Scene iii, Line 43
Good old Gonzalo. Ooof. What
the heck is he talking about, eh? Ok, well for starters this group of guys just
saw
…several strange
Shapes, bringing in a banquet. They dance about it with gentle actions of
salutation, and , inviting the King, etc., to eat, they depart.
That’s the stage direction
for what they just saw, and now they’re all rubbing their eyes whilst Gonzalo
is saying, ‘No worries, there are stranger things out there,’ and he goes on to describe some pretty strange things. The guys go back and
forth a bit trying to decide whether or not the food is safe to eat. No matter,
before they can decide it disappears as fast as it showed up.
I dunno, if you were stranded
on a desert island with no food or drink and the banquet mentioned above showed up,
would you eat it?
How about this feast? Would you eat this if it showed up? I know, it doesn't look like much, but those are fresh made churros with chocolate sauce - best you'll ever have!
Yummy!
