ACT 4 SCENE 2 <\/b> Setting: Athens. A room in QUINCE'S house.<\/p>\n

Enter QUINCE, FLUTE, SNOUT, and STARVELING<\/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
QUINCE <\/td>\nHave you sent to Bottom's house? is he come home yet?<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
STARVELING <\/td>\nHe cannot be heard of. Out of doubt he is<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\ntransported.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
FLUTE <\/td>\nIf he come not, then the play is marred: it goes<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nnot forward, doth it?<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
QUINCE <\/td>\nIt is not possible: you have not a man in all<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAthens able to discharge Pyramus but he.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
FLUTE <\/td>\nNo, he hath simply the best wit of any handicraft<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nman in Athens.<\/td>\n 10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
QUINCE <\/td>\nYea and the best person too; and he is a very<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nparamour for a sweet voice.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
FLUTE <\/td>\nYou must say 'paragon:' a paramour is, God bless us,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\na thing of naught.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nEnter SNUG<\/i><\/td>\n <\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
SNUG <\/td>\nMasters, the duke is coming from the temple, and<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nthere is two or three lords and ladies more married:<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nif our sport had gone forward, we had all been made<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nmen.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
FLUTE <\/td>\nO sweet bully Bottom! Thus hath he lost sixpence a<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nday during his life; he could not have 'scaped<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nsixpence a day: an the duke had not given him<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nsixpence a day for playing Pyramus, I'll be hanged;<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nhe would have deserved it: sixpence a day in<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nPyramus, or nothing.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nEnter BOTTOM<\/i><\/td>\n <\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BOTTOM <\/td>\nWhere are these lads? where are these hearts?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
QUINCE <\/td>\nBottom! O most courageous day! O most happy hour!<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BOTTOM <\/td>\nMasters, I am to discourse wonders: but ask me not<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nwhat; for if I tell you, I am no true Athenian. I<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nwill tell you every thing, right as it fell out.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
QUINCE <\/td>\nLet us hear, sweet Bottom.<\/td>\n 29<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BOTTOM <\/td>\nNot a word of me. All that I will tell you is, that<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nthe duke hath dined. Get your apparel together,<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\ngood strings to your beards, new ribbons to your<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\npumps; meet presently at the palace; every man look<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\no'er his part; for the short and the long is, our<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nplay is preferred. In any case, let Thisby have<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nclean linen; and let not him that plays the lion<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\npair his nails, for they shall hang out for the<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nlion's claws. And, most dear actors, eat no onions<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nnor garlic, for we are to utter sweet breath; and I<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\ndo not doubt but to hear them say, it is a sweet<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\ncomedy. No more words: away! go, away!<\/td>\n 40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nExeunt<\/i><\/td>\n<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
