ACT 4 SCENE 1 <\/b> Setting: The same. LYSANDER, DEMETRIUS, HELENA, and HERMIA lying asleep.<\/p>\n

Enter TITANIA and BOTTOM; PEASEBLOSSOM, COBWEB, MOTH, MUSTARDSEED, and other Fairies attending; OBERON behind them unseen.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
TITANIA <\/td>\nCome, sit thee down upon this flowery bed,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhile I thy amiable cheeks do coy,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd stick musk–roses in thy sleek smooth head,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd kiss thy fair large ears, my gentle joy.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BOTTOM <\/td>\nWhere's Peaseblossom?<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
PEASEBLOSSOM <\/td>\nReady.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BOTTOM <\/td>\nScratch my head Peaseblossom. Where's Mounsieur Cobweb?<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
COBWEB <\/td>\nReady.<\/td>\n 10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BOTTOM <\/td>\nMounsieur Cobweb, good mounsieur, get you your<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nweapons in your hand, and kill me a red–hipped<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nhumble–bee on the top of a thistle; and, good<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nmounsieur, bring me the honey–bag. Do not fret<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nyourself too much in the action, mounsieur; and,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\ngood mounsieur, have a care the honey–bag break not;<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI would be loath to have you overflown with a<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nhoney–bag, signior. Where's Mounsieur Mustardseed?<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MUSTARDSEED <\/td>\nReady.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BOTTOM <\/td>\nGive me your neaf, Mounsieur Mustardseed. Pray you,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nleave your courtesy, good mounsieur.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MUSTARDSEED <\/td>\nWhat's your Will?<\/td>\n 20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BOTTOM <\/td>\nNothing, good mounsieur, but to help Cavalery Cobweb<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nto scratch. I must to the barber's, monsieur; for<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nmethinks I am marvellous hairy about the face; and I<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nam such a tender ass, if my hair do but tickle me,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI must scratch.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
TITANIA <\/td>\nWhat, wilt thou hear some music,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nmy sweet love?<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BOTTOM <\/td>\nI have a reasonable good ear in music. Let's have<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nthe tongs and the bones.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
TITANIA <\/td>\nOr say, sweet love, what thou desirest to eat.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BOTTOM <\/td>\nTruly, a peck of provender: I could munch your good<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\ndry oats. Methinks I have a great desire to a bottle<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nof hay: good hay, sweet hay, hath no fellow.<\/td>\n 31<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
TITANIA <\/td>\nI have a venturous fairy that shall seek<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe squirrel's hoard, and fetch thee new nuts.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BOTTOM <\/td>\nI had rather have a handful or two of dried peas.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut, I pray you, let none of your people stir me: I<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nhave an exposition of sleep come upon me.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
TITANIA <\/td>\nSleep thou, and I will wind thee in my arms.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFairies, begone, and be all ways away.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nExeunt fairies.<\/i><\/td>\n <\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo doth the woodbine the sweet honeysuckle<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nGently entwist; the female ivy so<\/td>\n 40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nEnrings the barky fingers of the elm.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nO, how I love thee! how I dote on thee!<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nThey sleep.<\/i><\/td>\n <\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nEnter PUCK<\/i><\/td>\n <\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
OBERON <\/i><\/td>\nAdvancing.<\/i><\/td>\n <\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSee'st thou this sweet sight?<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHer dotage now I do begin to pity:<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor, meeting her of late behind the wood,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSeeking sweet favours from this hateful fool,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI did upbraid her and fall out with her;<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor she his hairy temples then had rounded<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith a coronet of fresh and fragrant flowers;<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd that same dew, which sometime on the buds<\/td>\n 50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWas wont to swell like round and orient pearls,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nStood now within the pretty flowerets' eyes<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nLike tears that did their own disgrace bewail.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhen I had at my pleasure taunted her<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd she in mild terms begg'd my patience,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI then did ask of her her changeling child;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich straight she gave me, and her fairy sent<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo bear him to my bower in fairy land.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd now I have the boy, I will undo<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThis hateful imperfection of her eyes:<\/td>\n 60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd, gentle Puck, take this transformed scalp<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFrom off the head of this Athenian swain;<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat, he awaking when the other do,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMay all to Athens back again repair<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd think no more of this night's accidents<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut as the fierce vexation of a dream.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut first I will release the fairy queen.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTouching her eyes with an herb..<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBe as thou wast wont to be; <\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSee as thou wast wont to see:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDian's bud o'er Cupid's flower<\/td>\n 70<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHath such force and blessed power.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nNow, my Titania; wake you, my sweet queen.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
TITANIA <\/td>\nMy Oberon! what visions have I seen!<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMethought I was enamour'd of an ass.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
OBERON <\/td>\nThere lies your love.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
TITANIA <\/td>\nHow came these things to pass?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nO, how mine eyes do loathe his visage now!<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
OBERON <\/td>\nSilence awhile. Robin, take off this head.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTitania, music call; and strike more dead<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThan common sleep of all these five the sense.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
TITANIA <\/td>\nMusic, ho! music, such as charmeth sleep!<\/td>\n 80<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nMusic, still<\/i><\/td>\n <\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
PUCK <\/td>\nNow, when thou wakest, with thine<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nown fool's eyes peep.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
OBERON <\/td>\nSound, music! Come, my queen, take hands with me,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd rock the ground whereon these sleepers be.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nNow thou and I are new in amity,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd will to–morrow midnight solemnly<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDance in Duke Theseus' house triumphantly,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd bless it to all fair prosperity:<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThere shall the pairs of faithful lovers be<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWedded, with Theseus, all in jollity.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
PUCK <\/td>\nFairy king, attend, and mark:<\/td>\n 90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI do hear the morning lark.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
OBERON <\/td>\nThen, my queen, in silence sad,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTrip we after the night's shade:<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWe the globe can compass soon,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSwifter than the wandering moon.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
TITANIA <\/td>\nCome, my lord, and in our flight<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTell me how it came this night<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat I sleeping here was found<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith these mortals on the ground.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nSleepers lie still. Exeunt [fairies].<\/i><\/td>\n <\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nHorns winded within<\/i><\/td>\n <\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Enter THESEUS, HIPPOLYTA, EGEUS, and train.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
THESEUS <\/td>\nGo, one of you, find out the forester;<\/td>\n 100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor now our observation is perform'd;<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd since we have the vaward of the day,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMy love shall hear the music of my hounds.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUncouple in the western valley; let them go:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDispatch, I say, and find the forester.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nExit an Attendant<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWe will, fair queen, up to the mountain's top,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd mark the musical confusion<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOf hounds and echo in conjunction.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
HIPPOLYTA <\/td>\nI was with Hercules and Cadmus once,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhen in a wood of Crete they bay'd the bear<\/td>\n 110<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith hounds of Sparta: never did I hear<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSuch gallant chiding: for, besides the groves,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe skies, the fountains, every region near<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSeem'd all one mutual cry: I never heard<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo musical a discord, such sweet thunder.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
THESEUS <\/td>\nMy hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo flew'd, so sanded, and their heads are hung<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith ears that sweep away the morning dew;<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCrook–knee'd, and dew–lapp'd like Thessalian bulls;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSlow in pursuit, but match'd in mouth like bells,<\/td>\n 120<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nEach under each. A cry more tuneable<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWas never holla'd to, nor cheer'd with horn,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIn Crete, in Sparta, nor in Thessaly:<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nJudge when you hear. But, soft! what nymphs are these?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
EGEUS <\/td>\nMy lord, this is my daughter here asleep;<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd this, Lysander; this Demetrius is;<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThis Helena, old Nedar's Helena:<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI wonder of their being here together.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
THESEUS <\/td>\nNo doubt they rose up early to observe<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe rite of May, and hearing our intent,<\/td>\n 130<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCame here in grace our solemnity.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut speak, Egeus; is not this the day<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat Hermia should give answer of her choice?<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
EGEUS <\/td>\nIt is, my lord.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
THESEUS <\/td>\nGo, bid the huntsmen wake them with their horns.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Horns and shout within. LYSANDER, DEMETRIUS,HELENA, and HERMIA wake and start up.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\nGood morrow, friends. Saint Valentine is past:<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBegin these wood–birds but to couple now?<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LYSANDER <\/td>\nPardon, my lord.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
THESEUS <\/td>\nI pray you all, stand up.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI know you two are rival enemies:<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHow comes this gentle concord in the world,<\/td>\n 140<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat hatred is so far from jealousy,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo sleep by hate, and fear no enmity?<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LYSANDER <\/td>\nMy lord, I shall reply amazedly,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHalf sleep, half waking: but as yet, I swear,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI cannot truly say how I came here;<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut, as I think,––for truly would I speak,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd now do I bethink me, so it is,––<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI came with Hermia hither: our intent<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWas to be gone from Athens, where we might,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWithout the peril of the Athenian law.<\/td>\n 150<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
EGEUS <\/td>\nEnough, enough, my lord; you have enough:<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI beg the law, the law, upon his head.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThey would have stolen away; they would, Demetrius,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThereby to have defeated you and me,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYou of your wife and me of my consent,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOf my consent that she should be your wife.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DEMETRIUS <\/td>\nMy lord, fair Helen told me of their stealth,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOf this their purpose hither to this wood;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd I in fury hither follow'd them,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFair Helena in fancy following me.<\/td>\n 160<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut, my good lord, I wot not by what power,––<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut by some power it is,––my love to Hermia,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMelted as the snow, seems to me now<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs the remembrance of an idle gaud<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich in my childhood I did dote upon;<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd all the faith, the virtue of my heart,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe object and the pleasure of mine eye,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIs only Helena. To her, my lord,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWas I betroth'd ere I saw Hermia:<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut, like in sickness, did I loathe this food;<\/td>\n 170<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut, as in health, come to my natural taste,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nNow I do wish it, love it, long for it,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd will for evermore be true to it.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
THESEUS <\/td>\nFair lovers, you are fortunately met:<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOf this discourse we more will hear anon.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nEgeus, I will overbear your will;<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor in the temple by and by with us<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThese couples shall eternally be knit:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd, for the morning now is something worn,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOur purposed hunting shall be set aside.<\/td>\n 180<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAway with us to Athens; three and three,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWe'll hold a feast in great solemnity.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCome, Hippolyta.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Exeunt THESEUS, HIPPOLYTA, EGEUS, and train.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
DEMETRIUS <\/td>\nThese things seem small and undistinguishable,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
HERMIA <\/td>\nMethinks I see these things with parted eye,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhen every thing seems double.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
HELENA <\/td>\nSo methinks:<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd I have found Demetrius like a jewel,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMine own, and not mine own.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DEMETRIUS <\/td>\nAre you sure<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat we are awake? It seems to me<\/td>\n 190<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat yet we sleep, we dream. Do not you think<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe duke was here, and bid us follow him?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
HERMIA <\/td>\nYea; and my father.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
HELENA <\/td>\nAnd Hippolyta.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LYSANDER <\/td>\nAnd he did bid us follow to the temple.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DEMETRIUS <\/td>\nWhy, then, we are awake: let's follow him<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd by the way let us recount our dreams.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nExeunt<\/i><\/td>\n <\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BOTTOM <\/i><\/td>\nAwaking<\/i><\/td>\n <\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhen my cue comes, call me, and I will answer: my next is, 'Most fair Pyramus.' Heigh–ho!<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nPeter Quince! Flute, the bellows–mender! Snout,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nthe tinker! Starveling! God's my life, stolen<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nhence, and left me asleep! I have had a most rare<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nvision. I have had a dream, past the wit of man to<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nsay what dream it was: man is but an ass, if he go<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nabout to expound this dream. Methought I was––there<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nis no man can tell what. Methought I was,––and<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nmethought I had,––but man is but a patched fool, if<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nhe will offer to say what methought I had. The eye<\/td>\n 206<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nof man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
