Any ideas?

I shall no more to sea, to sea;
   Here shall I die ashore.


That's all I have...more verses, a tune would be helpful, thanks!

Surely someone has finished what Shakespeare started-

can't find any references to it having been on the net, Q - suspect it is because it is such a small fragment.

Stephano drinks and sings:

The master, the swabber, the boatswain and I,
The gunner and his mate
Loved Mall, Meg and Marian and Margery,
But none of us cared for Kate;
For she had a tongue with a tang,
Would cry to a sailor, Go hang!
She loved not the savour of tar nor of pitch,
Yet a tailor might scratch her where'er she did itch:
Then to sea, boys, and let her go hang!

The Tempest, Act 2, Scene 2

that much I knew...I'm trying to find out if these are still extant as individual songs, but since everyone seems to immediately recognize them as being from the Tempest, I guess that's all we know about them...thanks! any more info would still be helpful!

I suspect not - there are songs from shakespear's plays - but for most of them you find references on the net of recordings of them or discussions of appropriate tunes and I find nothing of that sort for either of these fragments.
