It is Caliban speaking to Trinculo who says (Tempest, II, ii, 170-171): "I'll bring thee/To clustering filberds." The scripture quotation is from Lamentations 3.22-23: "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."
