“Fetch me that flower. The herb I showed thee once.
The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid
Will make or man or woman madly dote
Upon the next live creature that it sees.”
The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid
Will make or man or woman madly dote
Upon the next live creature that it sees.”
"Up and down, up and down,
I will lead them up and down:
I am fear'd in field and town:
Goblin, lead them up and down."
I will lead them up and down:
I am fear'd in field and town:
Goblin, lead them up and down."
The raging rocks,
And shivering shocks,
Shall break the locks
Of prison gates,
And Phibbus’ car
Shall shine from far,
And make an mar
The foolish fates.

Hyppolita and Theseus
"Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour
Draws on apace; four happy days bring in
Another moon: but, O, methinks, how slow
This old moon wanes! she lingers my desires,
Like to a step-dame or a dowager
Long withering out a young man revenue."
Draws on apace; four happy days bring in
Another moon: but, O, methinks, how slow
This old moon wanes! she lingers my desires,
Like to a step-dame or a dowager
Long withering out a young man revenue."
Theseus and Egea
"My lord, this is my daughter here asleep;
And this, Lysander; this Demetrius is;
This Helena, that same Helena."
And this, Lysander; this Demetrius is;
This Helena, that same Helena."
Egea and Demetrius
“Stand forth, Demetrius. My noble lord, this man hath my consent to marry her.”

"How now, spirit! whither wander you?"
Bottom is getting ready to perform Pyramus - and having a hard time learning her lines...
"Come now; what masques, what dances shall we have,
To wear away this long age of three hours
Between our after-supper and bed-time?"
To wear away this long age of three hours
Between our after-supper and bed-time?"
"I kiss the wall's hole, not your lips at all."
Hyppolita observing Lysandra, Helena and Hermia
"Take comfort: he no more shall see my face;
Lysandra and myself will fly this place."
Lysandra and myself will fly this place."
"What, jealous Oberon! Fairies, skip hence, I have forsworn his bed and company."
"My Oberon! what visions have I seen!
Methought I was enamour'd of an ass."
Methought I was enamour'd of an ass."
"Come, wait upon him; lead him to my bower.
The moon methinks looks with a watery eye;
And when she weeps, weeps every little flower,
Lamenting some enforced chastity.
Tie up my love's tongue bring him silently."
The moon methinks looks with a watery eye;
And when she weeps, weeps every little flower,
Lamenting some enforced chastity.
Tie up my love's tongue bring him silently."
"I go, I go; look how I go,
Swifter than arrow from the Tartar's bow."
Swifter than arrow from the Tartar's bow."
Titania and her Fairies
“His mother was a votress of my order,
And in the spiced Indian air by night
Full often hath she gossiped by my side,
And sat with me on Neptune’s yellow sands.”

The Mechanicals
Marry, our play is “The most lamentable comedy and most cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe”. - A very good piece of work, I assure you, and a merry.

"Now until the break of day
Through this house each fairy stray."
Through this house each fairy stray."
Lysandra and Hermia
"The course of true love never did run smooth.
Or if there were a sympathy in choice,
War, death or sickness did lay siege to it,
Making it momentary as a sound,
Swift as a shadow, short as any dream."
