  Speaker 1: A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, Act one, Scene one, Athens,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the palace of Theseus. Enter theseus, Hippolyta, Philistrate, and attendants.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Now fair, Hippolyta, our nuptial hour draws on apace. Four
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: happy days bring in another moon. But oh, methinks, how
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: slow this old moon wanes. She lingers my desires like
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: to a step dame or a dowager, long withering out
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: a young man's revenue.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Four days will quickly steep themselves in night. Four nights
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: will quickly dream away the time, and then the moon,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: like to a silver bow new bent in heaven. She'll
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: behold the night of our solemnities.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Go, Philistrate, stir up the Athenian youth to merriments. Awake
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the pert and nimble spirit of mirth. Turn Melancholy forth
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: to funerals. The pale companion is no not for our pomp.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Exit fillustrate, Hippolyta.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I wooed thee with my sword, and won thy love
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: doing thee injuries. But I will wed thee in another key,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: with pomp, with triumph, and with reveling.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Enter Igeus, Hermia, Lessander, and Demetrius.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Happy be theseus, our renowned duke.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Thanks good eegius, what's the news?
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: With thee full of vexation, come I with complaint against
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: my child, my daughter Hermia. Stand forth, Demetrius, my noble lord,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: this man hath my consent to marry her. Stand forth, Lysander,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: and my gracious Duke. This man hath bewitched the bosom
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: of my child. Thou thou, Lysander, now asked, given her rhymes,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: and interchanged love tokens with my child, Thou hast by
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: moonlight at her window, sung with feigning voice, verses a
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: feigning love, and stolen the impression of her fantasy, with
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: bracelets of thy hair, rings, gods, conceits, gnats, trifles, nosegays, sweetmeats,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: messengers of strong prevailment in an hardened youth, with cunning hast,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Thou filst my daughter's heart. Turn her obedience, which is
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: due to me, to stubborn harshness, and my gracious Duke,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: be it so she will not hear before your grace
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: consent to marry with Demetrius. I beg the ancient privilege
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: of Athens. As she is mine, I may dispose of her,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: which shall be either to this gentleman or to her
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: death according to our law immediately provided.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: In that case, what say you, Hermia, be advised, fair maid,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: to you, your father should be as a god, one
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: that composed your beauties, yea, and one to whom you
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: are but a form in wax by him, imprinted, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: within his power to leave the figure or disfigure it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Demetrius is a worthy.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: Gentleman, so is Lysander.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: In himself he is. But in this kind, wanting your
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: father's voice, the other must be held the worthier.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: I would my father look, but with my eyes.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Rather your eyes must with his judgment.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: Look God, do entreat your grace to pardon me. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: know not by what power I am made bold, nor
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: how it may concern my modesty in such a presence
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: here to plead my thoughts. But I beseech your grace
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: that I may know the worst that may befall me
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: in this case if I refuse to wed Demetrius.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Either to die the death or to abjure forever the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: society of men. Therefore, fair Hermia, question your desires. Know
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: of your youth, Examine well your blood, whether if you
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: yield not to your father's choice, you can endure the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: livery of a nun for I to be in shady cloister,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: mewed to live a barren sister all your life, chanting
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: faint hymns to the cold, fruitless moon. Thrice blessed they
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: that masters sow their blood to undergo such maiden pilgrimage.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: But earthlier happy is the rose distilled than that which
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: withering on the virgin thorn grows, lives and dies in
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: single blessedness.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: So will I grow, so live, so die, my lord
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: ere I will yield my virgin patent up unto his lordship,
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: whose unwished yoke must soul consent not to give sovereignty.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Take time to pause, and by the next new moon,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the ceiling day, betwixt my love and thee for everlasting
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: bond of fellowship. Upon that day, either prepare to die
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: for disobedience to your father's will, or else to wed
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Demetrius as he would, or on Diana's altar to protest
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: for I austerity and single life.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Relent. Sweet Hermia, Lysander, yield thy crazed title to my
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: certain right.
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: You have her father's love, Demetrius, Let me have Hermia's
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: Do you marry him?
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Scornful Lysander? True he hath my love, and what is
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: mine my love shall render him, and she is mine,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: and all my right of her. I do a state
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: unto Demetrius.
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: I am my lord, as well derived as he, as
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: well possessed. My love is more than his, My fortunes
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: every way as fairly ranked, if not with advantage, as Demetrius,
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: and which is more than all these boasts can be.
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: I am beloved of Bedeus Hermia. Why should not I
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: then prosecute my right? Demetrius, all about to his head,
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: made love to Nider's daughter Helena, and won her soul,
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: And she, sweet lady, doats devoutly, doats dots and idolatry.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: Upon this spotted and inconstant man, I must confess that
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: I have heard so much, and with Demetrius thought to
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: have spoke thereof, But being over full of self affairs,
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: my mind did lose it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: But Demetrius, come and come, Egius, you shall go with me.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I have some private schooling for you both. For you
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: fair Hermia. Look, you arm yourself to fit your fancies
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: to your father's will, or else the law of Athens
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: yields you up, which by no means we may extenuate
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to death or to vow of single life. Come, my Hippolyta,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: what cheer my love? Demetrius and Egius, go along, I
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: must employ you in some business against our nuptial and
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: confer with you of something nearly that concerns yourselves.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: With duty and desire.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: We follow you, excellant all but Lysander and Hermia.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: How now, my love, why is your cheek so pale?
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: How chance the roses there do fade so fast.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: The like for want of rain, which I could well
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: beheem them from the tempest of my eyes.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: I me for aught that I could ever read, could
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: ever hear by tale or history. The course of true
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: love never did run smooth, But either it was different
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: in blood.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Oh cross too high to be enthralled to low.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: Or else misgraft in respective years.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Oh spite, too old to be engaged to young.
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: Or else It stood upon the choice of friends.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: Oh hell, to choose love by another's eyes.
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: Or if there were a sympathy in choice, war, death,
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: or sickness did lay siege to it, making it momentiny
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: as a sound, swift, as a shadow, short, as any dream, brief,
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: as the lightning in the collied night that in a
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: spleen unfolds both heaven and earth, and ere a man
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: hath power to say, behold the jaws of darkness do
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: devour it up so quick bright things come to confusion.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: If then true lovers have been ever crossed, it stands
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: as an edict in destiny. Then let us teach our
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: trial patience, because it is a customary cross, as due
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: to love, as thoughts and dreams and sighs, wishes and tears.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Poor Fancy's followers.
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: A good persuasion. Therefore, hear me, Hermia, I have a
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: widow aunt, a dowager of great revenue, and she hath
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: no child. From Athid's is her house remote seven leagues,
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: and she respects me as her only son. There, Gentle Hermia,
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: may I marry THEE, and to that place the sharp
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: Athenian law cannot pursue us. If thou lovest me, then
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: steal forth thy father's house to morrow night, and in
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: the wood a league without the town where I did
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: meet THEE once with Helena, to do observance to a
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: morn of may there will I stay for THEE.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: My good Lysander. I swear to THEE by Cupid's strongest beau,
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: by his best arrow with the golden head, by the
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: simplicity of Venus doves, by that which knitteth souls and
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: prosperus loves, and by that fire which burnt the Carthage Queen,
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: when the false troy and under sail was seen by
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: all the vows that ever men have broke in number
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: more than ever women spoke in that same place, Thou
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: hast appointed me tomorrow truly will I meet with thee.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: Keep promise love.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Look here comes Helena, Enter Helena.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: God speed, fair Helena.
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: Whither away call you me fair? That again, unsay, Demetrius
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: loves your fair, Oh happy fair. Your eyes are load stars,
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: and your tongue's sweet air more tuneable than lark to
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: shepherd's ear when wheat is green, when hawthorn buds appear,
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: sickness is catching. Oh, were favor so yours? Would I
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: catch fair hermia?
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: Ere I go.
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: My ear should catch your voice, my eye, your eye,
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: my tongue should catch your tongue sweet melody? Were the
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: world mine? Demetrius being baited, the rest I'd give to
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: you to be translated. Oh teach me how you look
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: and with what art you sway? The motion of Demetrius's heart.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: I frown upon him, Yet he loves me still.
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: Oh that your frowns would teach my smile such skill.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: I give him curses, yet he gives me love.
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: Oh that my prayers could such affection move.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: The more I hate, the more he follows me.
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: The more I love. The more he hateth me.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: His folly, Helena, is no fault of mine.
• 10:54
  Speaker 8: None but your beauty. Would that fault were mine?
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: Take comfort? He no more sit see my face, Lysander,
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: and myself will fly this place. Before the time I did,
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Lysander see seemed Athens as a paradise to me. Oh, then,
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: what graces in my love? Do dwell that he hath
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: turned a heaven unto a hell?
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: Helen to you our minds we will unfold tomorrow night,
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: when Phoebe doth behold her silver visage in the watery
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: glass decking with liquid pearl abladed grass, a time that
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: lover's flights doth still conceal through Athen's gates? Have we
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: devised to steal.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: And in the wood where often you and I, upon
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: faint primrose beds, were wont to lie, emptying our bosoms
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: of their council suite. There my Lysander and myself shall meet,
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: and thence from Athens turn away our eyes to seek
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: new friends and stranger companies. Farewell, sweet playfellow, pray thou
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: for us, and good luck. Grant thee thy Demetrius, keep word, Lysander.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: We must starve our sight from lover's fee till morrow
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: deep midnight.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I will my Hermia exit, Hermia.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Helena, adieu, as you on him, Demitrius dote on you exit.
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: How happy some or other sum can be through Athens?
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: I am thought as fair as she?
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: But what of that?
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: Demetrius thinks not, So he will not know what all,
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: But he do know. And as he errs doting on
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: Hermia's eyes, so I admiring of his qualities. Things base
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: and vile, folding no quantity love can transpose to form
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes, but with
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: the mind, And therefore is winged, cupid, painted blind, Nor
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: hath love's mind of any judgment taste, wings and no
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: eyes figure unheedy, haste. And therefore is love said to
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: be a child, because in choice he is so oft
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: beguiled as waggish boys in games themselves forswear. So the
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: boy love is perjured everywhere. For ere Demetrius looked on
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: Hermia's eye. He hailed down oaths that he was only mine.
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: And when this hail some heat from Hermia felt so
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: he dissolved, and showers of oaths did melt. I will
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: go tell him a fair Hermia's flight. Then to the wood,
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: will he tomorrow night pursue her? And for this intelligence,
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: if I have thanks, it is a dear expense. But
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: here and mean I to enrich my pain to have
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: his sight thither and back again.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Exit scene too athens Quince's house, Enter Quince, snug bottom, flute, snout,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and starvelings.
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: All our company here you were best to call them
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: generally man by man according to the scrap.
• 13:55
  Speaker 10: Here is the scroll of every man's name, which is
• 13:58
  Speaker 10: thought fit for Ethens to play in our interlude before
• 14:01
  Speaker 10: the Duke and the Duchess on his wedding day at night.
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: First, could Peter Quinns say what the play treats on,
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: then read the names of the actors, and so grow
• 14:12
  Speaker 9: to a point.
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: Mary, Our play is the most lamentable comedy and most
• 14:17
  Speaker 10: cruel death of Pyramus.
• 14:18
  Speaker 9: And thisby a very good piece of work, I assure
• 14:21
  Speaker 9: you anna Mary. Now could Peter Quince call forth your
• 14:25
  Speaker 9: actors by the scroll masters, spread yourselves.
• 14:30
  Speaker 10: Answer as I call you, Nick Bottom the weaver.
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: Ready, name what part I am for, and proceed.
• 14:38
  Speaker 10: You, Nickbottom, are set down for Pyramus.
• 14:41
  Speaker 9: What is peramus? A lover or a tyrant?
• 14:46
  Speaker 10: A lover that cures himself most gallant for love?
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: Oh, that will ask some tears in the true or
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: forming of it. If I do it, let the audience
• 14:56
  Speaker 9: look to their eyes. I will move stop RUMs, I
• 15:01
  Speaker 9: will condole in some measure to the rest. Yet my
• 15:06
  Speaker 9: chief humor is for a tyrant. I could play ercles rarely,
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: or a part to tear a cat in to make
• 15:16
  Speaker 9: I'll split the raging rocks and shivering shocks, shall break
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: the locks of prison gates, and Phibis's car shall shine
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: from far and make and mar the foolish fates. Oh
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: this was lofty. Now name the rest of the players.
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: This is Ercley's vein, a tyrant's vein. A lover is
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: more condoling.
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: Francis flute, the bello's menda.
• 15:56
  Speaker 11: Here Peter Quin's flute.
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: You must take thisby on you.
• 16:00
  Speaker 11: What is Disbee a wandering knight?
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: It is the lady that Pyramus must love.
• 16:06
  Speaker 11: On nay face, Let me not play a woman.
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: I have a beard, come in, that's all one. You
• 16:12
  Speaker 10: shall play it in a mask, and you may speak
• 16:14
  Speaker 10: as small as you will, and I.
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: May eye my face. Let me play thisbee too. I'll
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: speak in a monstrous little voice. Disney, Disney, Ah, Pirimus, lover,
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: dear thy thisbee, dear and lady dear.
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: No, no, you must pay Pyramis and flute.
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: You thisby well proceeded.
• 16:39
  Speaker 10: Robin Starveling the tailor here, Peter Quince, Robin Starveling, You
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: must play thisby's mother. Tom snouted the tinker here, Peter Quince,
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: You Pyramis's father, and myself thisbee's father, snug the joiner.
• 16:55
  Speaker 10: You the lion's part, and I hope here is the
• 16:57
  Speaker 10: play fitted.
• 16:59
  Speaker 12: Have you the lion's part written? Pray you, if it be,
• 17:03
  Speaker 12: give it me, for I am slow of study.
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: You may do it extemple, for it is nothing but roaring.
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: Let me play the lion too. I will oh, I
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: will do any man's heart good to wear me.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I will oh.
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: They will make the duke say, let him roar again,
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: Let him roar again.
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: And you should do it too terribly, you would fright
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: the duchess and the ladies that they would shriek. And
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: that were enough to hang us all.
• 17:34
  Speaker 12: That would hang us every mother's son.
• 17:36
  Speaker 11: That would hang us every mother's son.
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: Grant your friends. If you should frighten the ladies out
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: of their ways, they would have no more discretion but
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: to angers. But I will aggravate my voice so that
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: I will roar you as gently as any sucking dove.
• 17:52
  Speaker 9: I will aw you, and twere any nightingale.
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: Ow you can play no part but Pyramis. For Pyramis
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: is a sweet faced man, a proper man, as one
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: shall see in a summer's day, a most lovely, gentlemanlike man.
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: Therefore you must needs play Pyramius.
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: Well, I will undertake it. What beard were I best
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: to play it?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Inn?
• 18:22
  Speaker 10: Why?
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: What you will m I will discharge it in either
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: your straw color beard, your orange tawny beard, your purple
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: ingrain beard, or your French crown color beard, your perfect yellow.
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: Some of your French's crowns have no hair at all.
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: And then you will play bear faced. But masters, here
• 18:48
  Speaker 10: are your parts, and I am to entreat you, request
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: you and desire you to con them by to morrow
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: night and meet me in the palace wood Amma, without
• 18:57
  Speaker 10: the town by moonlight. There we will rehearse. For if
• 19:02
  Speaker 10: we meet in the city, we shall be docked with company,
• 19:05
  Speaker 10: and a device is known. In the meantime I will
• 19:08
  Speaker 10: draw a bit of properties, such as our play wants.
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: I pray you fail me not.
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: We will meet, and there we may rehearse most obscenely
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: and courageously take pains. Be peract had Yo.
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: At the Duke's oak we meet.
• 19:29
  Speaker 9: Enough old a cup bowl strings.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Ex you want. End of Act one, Act two, Scene one,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: a wood near Athens. Enter from opposite sides a faery
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and park.
• 19:49
  Speaker 13: How now, spirit will a wonder you over hill, over dale,
• 19:53
  Speaker 13: through bush, through brier, over park, over pale, through flood
• 19:56
  Speaker 13: through fire. I do wander everywhere swifter than the moon sphere.
• 20:01
  Speaker 13: And I serve the fairy queen to dew her orbs
• 20:04
  Speaker 13: upon the grain the cowslips tall. Her pensions be in
• 20:08
  Speaker 13: their gold coats spots you see, those be rubies fairy favors.
• 20:12
  Speaker 13: In those freckles live their savors. I must go seek
• 20:16
  Speaker 13: some dewdrops here and hang a pearl in every cowslips here,
• 20:20
  Speaker 13: farewell their lob of spirits. All be gone, our queen,
• 20:23
  Speaker 13: and all our elves come here.
• 20:24
  Speaker 14: Anon the king doth keep his rebels here to night.
• 20:28
  Speaker 14: Take heed the queen. Come not within his sight, For
• 20:31
  Speaker 14: Oberon is passing fell and wroth, because she, as her attendant,
• 20:34
  Speaker 14: hath a lovely boy stolen from an Indian king. She
• 20:37
  Speaker 14: never had so sweet a changeling, and jealous Oberon would
• 20:40
  Speaker 14: have the child night of his train to trace the
• 20:43
  Speaker 14: forest's wild. But she perforce withholds the loved boy, crowns
• 20:47
  Speaker 14: him with flowers, and makes him all her joy. And
• 20:49
  Speaker 14: now they never meet in grove or green by a
• 20:52
  Speaker 14: fountain clear or spangled starlight sheen, but they do square
• 20:56
  Speaker 14: that all their elves for fear creep into acorn cups
• 20:59
  Speaker 14: and hide them there.
• 21:01
  Speaker 13: Either I mistake your shape and making quite, or else
• 21:04
  Speaker 13: you are that shrewd and knavish sprite cold Robin goodfellow,
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: are you not he that frightens the maids of the villagery.
• 21:11
  Speaker 13: Skim milk can sometimes labor in the kern and bootless,
• 21:15
  Speaker 13: make the breathless housewife churn, and sometimes make the drink
• 21:19
  Speaker 13: to bear nobalm mislead night wanderers, laughing at their harm.
• 21:23
  Speaker 13: Those that hobgoblin call you, and sweet puck, you do
• 21:27
  Speaker 13: their work and they shall have good luck? Are not you?
• 21:30
  Speaker 14: He thou speak'st all right? I am that merry wanderer
• 21:34
  Speaker 14: of the night. I jest to Oberon and make him
• 21:37
  Speaker 14: smile when I a fat and beam fed horse, beguile
• 21:40
  Speaker 14: neighing in likeness of a filly fool, and sometimes lurkye
• 21:44
  Speaker 14: in a gossip's bowl, in very likeness of a roasted crab.
• 21:48
  Speaker 14: And when she drinks against her lip side bob and
• 21:51
  Speaker 14: on her with a dew lap pour the ale, the
• 21:54
  Speaker 14: wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale sometime for three foot
• 21:58
  Speaker 14: stool mistaketh me then slip by from her bum down topple.
• 22:03
  Speaker 14: She and Taylor cries and falls into a cough. And
• 22:06
  Speaker 14: then the whole choir hold their hips and love and
• 22:10
  Speaker 14: waxen in their mirth and knees and swear and merry.
• 22:13
  Speaker 14: A our was never wasted there, but rumfery, here comes.
• 22:17
  Speaker 13: Oberon, and here my mistress would that he were gone.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Enter from one side, Oberon with his train from the other,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Titania with hers.
• 22:30
  Speaker 15: Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania.
• 22:34
  Speaker 16: What jealous oberon fairies skip? Hence I have forsworn his
• 22:39
  Speaker 16: bed and company.
• 22:41
  Speaker 15: Terry rash wanton. Am not I thy lord?
• 22:45
  Speaker 16: Then I must be thy lady. But I know when
• 22:49
  Speaker 16: thou hast stolen away from fairyland and in the shape
• 22:52
  Speaker 16: of corn, sat all day playing on pipes of corn
• 22:56
  Speaker 16: and versing love to amorous Philida. Art thou here come
• 23:01
  Speaker 16: from the farthest step of India, But that forsooth the
• 23:05
  Speaker 16: bouncing Amazon, your buskined mistress, and your warrior love to
• 23:10
  Speaker 16: theseus must be wedded, and you come to give their bed,
• 23:14
  Speaker 16: joy and prosperity.
• 23:17
  Speaker 15: How canst thou thus for shame Titania glance at my
• 23:20
  Speaker 15: credit with Hippolyta, knowing I know thy love to theseus?
• 23:25
  Speaker 15: Didst thou not lead him through the glimmering night from
• 23:28
  Speaker 15: Peruginia whom he ravished, and make him with fair egle
• 23:32
  Speaker 15: break his faith with Ariadne and Antiopa.
• 23:36
  Speaker 16: These are the forgeries of jealousy, And never since the
• 23:41
  Speaker 16: middle summer spring met we on hill in dale forest,
• 23:45
  Speaker 16: or mead by Pavid fountain, or by Rushy Brook, or
• 23:50
  Speaker 16: in the beeched margin of the sea to dance our
• 23:53
  Speaker 16: ringlets to the whistling wind. But with thy brawls thou
• 23:56
  Speaker 16: hast disturbed our sport. Therefore the winds piping to us
• 24:02
  Speaker 16: in vain as in revenge, have sucked up from the sea.
• 24:06
  Speaker 16: Contageous fogs, which falling in the land, have every pelting
• 24:10
  Speaker 16: river made so proud that they have overborne their continents.
• 24:15
  Speaker 16: The ox hath therefore stretched his yoke in vain. The
• 24:18
  Speaker 16: plowman lost his sweat, and the green corn hath rotted,
• 24:22
  Speaker 16: ere his youth attained a beard. The fold stands empty
• 24:27
  Speaker 16: in the drowned field. The crows are fatted with the
• 24:30
  Speaker 16: murray and flock. The nine men's morris is filled up
• 24:33
  Speaker 16: with mud, and the quaint mazes in the wanton green,
• 24:37
  Speaker 16: for lack of tread, are undistinguishable. The human mortals want
• 24:42
  Speaker 16: their winter here. No night is now with him or
• 24:45
  Speaker 16: Carol blessed. Therefore the moon, the governess of floods, pale
• 24:51
  Speaker 16: in her anger, washes all the air that rheumatic diseases
• 24:56
  Speaker 16: do abound. And thorough this distemperature we see the season's alter.
• 25:01
  Speaker 16: Hoary headed frosts far in the fresh lap of the
• 25:04
  Speaker 16: crimson rose, and on old Higham's thin and icy crown,
• 25:09
  Speaker 16: an odorous chaplet to sweet summer buds. Is as in mockery,
• 25:13
  Speaker 16: set the spring the summer, the child in autumn angry winter,
• 25:19
  Speaker 16: change their wonted liveries, and the mazed world by their increase,
• 25:24
  Speaker 16: now knows not which is which. And this same progeny
• 25:28
  Speaker 16: of evils comes from our debate, from our dissension. We
• 25:33
  Speaker 16: are their parents and original.
• 25:36
  Speaker 15: Do you amend it, then it lies in you. Why
• 25:39
  Speaker 15: should Titania cross her Oberon, I do but beg a
• 25:42
  Speaker 15: little changeling boy to be my henchman.
• 25:45
  Speaker 16: Set your heart at rest. The fairyland buys not the
• 25:49
  Speaker 16: child of me. His mother was a voterus of my order,
• 25:54
  Speaker 16: and in the spiced Indian air by night full often
• 25:58
  Speaker 16: hath she gossiped by my and sat with me on
• 26:01
  Speaker 16: Neptune's yellow sands, marking the embarked traders on the flood.
• 26:06
  Speaker 16: When we have laughed to see the sails conceive and
• 26:09
  Speaker 16: grow big bellied with the wanton wind, which she with
• 26:13
  Speaker 16: pretty and with swimming gait following her womb. Then rich
• 26:17
  Speaker 16: with my young squire, would imitate and sail upon the
• 26:20
  Speaker 16: land to fetch me trifles and return again as from
• 26:24
  Speaker 16: a voyage rich with merchandise. But she, being mortal of
• 26:30
  Speaker 16: that boy, did die. And for her sake do I
• 26:34
  Speaker 16: rear up her boy? And for her sake I will
• 26:37
  Speaker 16: not part with him?
• 26:39
  Speaker 15: How long within this wood? Intend you stay.
• 26:43
  Speaker 16: Perchance till after theseus's wedding day. If you will patiently
• 26:48
  Speaker 16: dance in our round and see our moonlight revels, go
• 26:52
  Speaker 16: with us. If not, shun me, and I will spare
• 26:56
  Speaker 16: your haunts.
• 26:58
  Speaker 15: Give me that boy, and I will go with thee.
• 27:00
  Speaker 16: Not for thy fairy kingdom fair is away. We shall
• 27:05
  Speaker 16: chide downright. If I longest stay.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Exit Titania with her train.
• 27:11
  Speaker 15: Well go thy way. Thou shalt not from this grove
• 27:15
  Speaker 15: till I torment THEE for this injury, my gentle puck.
• 27:19
  Speaker 15: Come hither thou rememberest. Since once I sat upon a
• 27:23
  Speaker 15: promontory and heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back, uttering
• 27:27
  Speaker 15: such dulcet and harmonious breath, that the rude sea grew
• 27:31
  Speaker 15: civil at her song, and certain stars shot madly from
• 27:35
  Speaker 15: their spheres to hear the sea maid's music. I remember
• 27:39
  Speaker 15: that very time I saw, but thou couldst not flying
• 27:43
  Speaker 15: between the cold moon and the earth. Cupid all armed
• 27:47
  Speaker 15: a certain aim. He took at a fair vestal throned
• 27:50
  Speaker 15: by the west, and loosed his love shaft smartly from
• 27:54
  Speaker 15: his bow, as it should pierce a hundred thousand hearts.
• 27:58
  Speaker 15: But I might see young Cuband's fiery shaft quenched in
• 28:02
  Speaker 15: the chaste beams of the watery moon, and the imperial
• 28:05
  Speaker 15: voterests pass on in maiden meditation, fancy free yet marked
• 28:11
  Speaker 15: I where the bolt of Cupid fell. It fell upon
• 28:14
  Speaker 15: a little western flower before milk white, now purple with
• 28:18
  Speaker 15: love's wound, and maidens call it love in idleness. Fetch
• 28:23
  Speaker 15: me that flower the herb I showed thee once the
• 28:26
  Speaker 15: juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid will make or
• 28:30
  Speaker 15: man or woman madly dote upon the next live creature
• 28:33
  Speaker 15: that it sees. Fetch me this herb, and be thou
• 28:37
  Speaker 15: here again. Ere the Leviathan can swim a league.
• 28:41
  Speaker 14: I'll put a girdle round the earth in forty.
• 28:43
  Speaker 15: Minutes exit having once this juice, I'll watch Titania when
• 28:49
  Speaker 15: she is asleep and drop the liquor of it in
• 28:52
  Speaker 15: her eyes the next thing. Then she waking looks upon,
• 28:57
  Speaker 15: be it on lion, bear, or wolf or bull, on
• 29:00
  Speaker 15: meddling monkey, or on busy ape. She shall pursue it
• 29:03
  Speaker 15: with the soul of love. And ere I take this
• 29:07
  Speaker 15: charm from off her sight, as I can take it
• 29:10
  Speaker 15: with another herb. I'll make her render up her page
• 29:14
  Speaker 15: to me. But who comes here? I am invisible, and
• 29:18
  Speaker 15: I will overhear their conference.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Enter Demetrius, Helena following him.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: I love thee not, therefore pursue me not. Where is
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: Lysander and fair Hermia? The one i'll slay and the
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: other slayeth me? Thou toldest me they were stolen unto
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: this wood, And here am I and Mowe within this wood.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: Because I cannot meet my Hermia. Hence get thee gone
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: and follow me no more.
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: You draw me, you hard hearted adamant. But yet you
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: draw not iron, for my heart as true as steel.
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: Leave you your.
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: Power to draw, and I shall have no power to
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: follow you.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: Do I entice you? Do I speak you fair? Or rather,
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: do I not? In plainest truth, tell you I do not,
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: nor I cannot love you.
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: And even for that do I love you? The more
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: I am your spaniel, and Demetrius, the more you beat me.
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: I will fawn on you. Use me, but as your
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: spaniel spurn me, strike me, neglect me, lose me, only
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: give me leave unworthy as I am to follow you.
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: What worser place can I beg in your love? And
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: yet a place of high respect with me than to
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: be used as you use your dog.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: Tempt not too much the hatred of my spirit, For
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: I am sick when I do look on thee.
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: And I am sick when I look not on you.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: You do impeach your modesty too much to leave the
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: city and commit yourself into the hands of one that
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: loves you, Not to trust the opportunity of night and
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: the ill counsel of a desert place with the rich
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: worth of your virginity.
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: Your virtue is my privilege. For that it is not
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: night when I do see your face. Therefore I think
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: I am not in the night, Nor doth this wood
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: lack worlds of company? For you, in my respect, are
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: all the world. Then how can it be said I
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: am alone when all the world is here to look
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: on me.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: I'll run from thee and hide me in the brakes,
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: and leave thee to the mercy of wild beasts.
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: The wildest hath not such a heart as you run.
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: When you will, the story shall be changed. Apollo flies
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: and Daphne holds the chase. The dove pursues the griffin.
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: The mild hind makes speed to catch the tiger bootless speed,
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: when Cowardice pursues and Valor flies.
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: I will not say thy questions, let me go, or
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: if thou follow me, do not believe, but I shall
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: do thee mischief in the wood.
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: Aye, in the temple, in the town, the field. You
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: do me mischief, Fi, Demetrius, your wrongs do set a
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: scandal on my sex. We cannot fight for love as
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: men may do. We should be wooed, and we're not
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: made to woo.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Exit, Demetrius.
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: I'll follow THEE and make a heaven of hell to
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: die upon the hand I love so well.
• 32:04
  Speaker 15: Exit, fare thee well, nymph ere he do leave this grove.
• 32:10
  Speaker 15: Thou shalt fly him, and he shall seek thy love.
• 32:15
  Speaker 15: Re enter, puck, hast thou the flower there, welcome wanderer,
• 32:20
  Speaker 15: Ay there it is, I pray THEE give it me.
• 32:23
  Speaker 15: I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, where
• 32:27
  Speaker 15: ox lips and the nodding violet grows quite over canopied
• 32:30
  Speaker 15: with luscious woodbine, with sweet musk roses, and with elegantine
• 32:35
  Speaker 15: There sleeps Titania some time of the night, lulled in
• 32:39
  Speaker 15: these flowers with dances and delight. And there the snake
• 32:42
  Speaker 15: throws her enamel'd skin weed wide enough to wrap a
• 32:46
  Speaker 15: fairy in. And with the juice of this I'll streak
• 32:49
  Speaker 15: her eyes and make her full of hateful fantasies. Take
• 32:54
  Speaker 15: thou thumb of it, and seek through this grove a
• 32:56
  Speaker 15: sweet Athenian lady is in love with a disdainful youth.
• 33:00
  Speaker 15: Annoint his eyes, But do it when the next thing
• 33:02
  Speaker 15: he aspires may be the lady. Thou shalt know the
• 33:06
  Speaker 15: man by the Athenian garments he hath on affect it
• 33:09
  Speaker 15: with some care, that he may prove more fond of
• 33:12
  Speaker 15: her than she upon her love. And look, thou meet
• 33:15
  Speaker 15: me ere the first cock crow.
• 33:17
  Speaker 14: Fear not, my lord, your servant shall do so.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Egsiant scene too, another part of the wood. Enter Titania
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: with her train.
• 33:33
  Speaker 16: Come now a roundlen a fairy song. Then for the
• 33:37
  Speaker 16: third part of a minute, hence some to kill cankers
• 33:41
  Speaker 16: in the musk rosebuds. Some war with rare mice for
• 33:45
  Speaker 16: their leathern wings to make my small elves coats, and
• 33:49
  Speaker 16: some keep back the clamorousal that knightly hoots and wonders
• 33:53
  Speaker 16: at our quaint spirits. Sing me now asleep, then to
• 33:58
  Speaker 16: your offices and let.

  Speaker 1: Egg yemp fairies. Titania sleeps enter oberon and squeezes the

  Speaker 15: What thou seest when thou dost wake, do it for
• 36:13
  Speaker 15: thy true love, take love and languish for his sake?
• 36:17
  Speaker 15: Be it ounce or cat or bear part or boar

  Speaker 15: with bristled hair in thy eye. That shall appear when
• 36:24
  Speaker 15: thou wakest. It is thy dear wake, when some vile
• 36:28
  Speaker 15: thing is near.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Exit, enter Lysander and Hermia.
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: Fair love you faint with wandering in the wood, and
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: to speak Troth, I have forgot our way, will rest us, Hermia,
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: if you think it good and tarry for the comfort
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: of the day.
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: Be it so, Lysander, find you out of bed, for
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: I upon this bank will rest my head.

  Speaker 5: Nay good, Lysander, for my sake, my dear life further off. Yet,
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: do not lie so near.
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: Oh, take the sense sweet of my innocence. Love takes
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: the meaning in love's conference. I mean that my heart
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: unto yours, is knit, so that but one heart we
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: can make of it, two bosoms interchained with an oath.
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: So then two bosoms and a single troth. Then by
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: your side, no bedroom, me deny for lying, So, Hermia,
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: I do not lie.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Lysander riddles very prettily. Now much beshrew my manners and
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: my pride. If Hermia meant to say Lysander lied, but
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: gentle friend, for love and courtesy lie further off in
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: human modesty. Such separation, as may well be said, becomes
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: a virtuous bachelor and a maid. So far be distant,
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: and good night's sweet friend, thy love ne'er altar till
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: by sweet life.
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: And amen amen to that fair prayer, say I, and
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: then end life when I end loyalty. Here is my
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: bed sleep, Give thee all his rest.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: With half that wish. The wisher's eyes be pressed.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: They sleep, and her puck.
• 38:23
  Speaker 21: Through the forest.
• 38:24
  Speaker 14: Have I gone, but Athenian found I none on whose
• 38:26
  Speaker 14: eyes I might approve this flower's force in stirring love,
• 38:30
  Speaker 14: night and silence. Who is here? Weeds of Athens he
• 38:35
  Speaker 14: doth wear? This is he, my master said, despised the
• 38:40
  Speaker 14: Athenian maid. And here the maiden, sleeping sound on the
• 38:43
  Speaker 14: dank and dirty ground, Pretty soul, she durst not lie
• 38:47
  Speaker 14: near this lack love, this kill courtesy churl upon thy eyes.
• 38:51
  Speaker 14: I throw all the power this charm doth oh. When
• 38:54
  Speaker 14: thou wakest, let love forbid sleep his seat on thy eyelid,
• 38:58
  Speaker 14: so awake when I am gone, for I must now
• 39:01
  Speaker 14: to oberon.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Exit, enter Demetrius and Helena running.
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: Stay though thou kill me, Sweet Demetrius.
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: I charge thee hence and do not haunt me.
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: Thus, Oh wilt thou darkling leave me?
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: Do not so stay on thy peril?
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I alone will go exit.
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: Oh, I am out of breath in this fond chase.
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: The more my prayer, the lesser is my grace. Happy
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: is Hermia? Wheresoe'er she lies? For she hath blessed and
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: attractive eyes. How came her eyes so bright? Not with
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: salt tears? If so, my eyes are oftener washed than hers? No,
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: Now I am as ugly as a bear. For beasts
• 39:45
  Speaker 8: that meet me run away for fear. Therefore no marvel
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: though Demetrius do as a monster fly my presents. Thus
• 39:53
  Speaker 8: what wicked and dissembling glass of mine made me compare
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: with Hermia's spheryine? But who is here, Lysander? On the ground,
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: dead or asleep? I see no blood, no wound, Lysander?
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: If you live, good, sir, awake.
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: And run through fire? I will, for thy sweet sake,
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: transparent Helena, nature shows art that through thy bosom makes
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: me see thy heart? Where is Demetrius? Oh? How fit
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: a word is that vile name to perish on my sword.
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: Do not say so, Lysander, say not so what though
• 40:32
  Speaker 8: he love your Hermia? Lord, what though yet Hermia still
• 40:36
  Speaker 8: loves you? Then be content?
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: Content with Hermia. No I do repent the tedious minutes
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: I with her have spent. Not Hermia, but Helena I love,
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: who will not change a raven for a dove. The
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: will of man is by his reason swayed, and reason
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: says you are the worthier maid. Things growing are not
• 41:02
  Speaker 7: ripe until there season. So I, being young till now ripe,
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: not to reason and touching now the point of human skill.
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: Reason becomes the marshal to my will, and leads me
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: to your eyes, where I o'er look Love's stories written
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: in Love's richest book.
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: Wherefore was I to this keen mockery born? When at
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: your hands did I.
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: Deserve this scorn? Is not enough?
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: Is not enough, young man, that I did never know,
• 41:30
  Speaker 8: nor never can deserve a sweet look from Demetrius's eye.
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: But you must flout my insufficiency. Good troth you do
• 41:38
  Speaker 8: me wrong, Good sooth you do in such disdainful manner,
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: met woo, But fare you well? Perforce I must confess
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: I thought you, Lord of more true gentleness, Oh that
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: a lady of one man refused should of another therefore
• 41:51
  Speaker 8: be abused.
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: Exit she sees not hermia, hermia. Sleep thou there, and
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: never may thou come, Lysander near, For as a surfeit
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: of the sweetest things, the deepest loathing to the stomach brings,
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: or as Thai heresies that men do leave are hated
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: most of those they did deceive. So thou my surfeit
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: and my heresy of all be hated. But the most
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: of me and all my powers, address your love and
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: might to honor Helen and to be her knight.
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: Exit Help me, Lysander, help me? Did thy best to
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: plut this crawling serpent from my breast? I me for pity?
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: What a dream was here, Lysander? Look how I did
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: quake with fear methought a serpent eat my heart away?
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: And you sat smiling at his cruel prey. Lysander, what removed? Lysander?
• 42:55
  Speaker 13: Lord?
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: What out of hearing gode no sound, no word, a lack?
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: Where are you speak? And if you hear speak of
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: all loves I swoon almost with fear. No, then I
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: well perceive you are not nigh either death or you
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: I'll find immediately.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: Exit. End of Act two, Act three, Scene one, the
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: wood Titania lying asleep, Enter Quince, snug bottom, flute, snout
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: and starveling.
• 43:37
  Speaker 10: Are we all Matt, pet Pet, And here's a marvelous
• 43:41
  Speaker 10: convenient place for a rehearsel. This green plot shall be
• 43:45
  Speaker 10: a stage this hawthorn break at tiring house, and we
• 43:49
  Speaker 10: will do it in action, as we will do it
• 43:51
  Speaker 10: before the Duke Peter Quinns. What sayest thou, bully Bottom.
• 43:56
  Speaker 9: There are things in this comedy of Permis and thisbey
• 43:59
  Speaker 9: that will never please. First Peramus must draw a sword
• 44:03
  Speaker 9: to kill himself, wish the ladies cannot abide.
• 44:06
  Speaker 22: I want to see that by your Lincoln a powerlous fear.
• 44:12
  Speaker 21: I believe we must leave the killing out when all
• 44:14
  Speaker 21: is done.
• 44:15
  Speaker 9: Not a whit. I have a device to make all
• 44:18
  Speaker 9: well right, me a prolog. And let the prolog seem
• 44:23
  Speaker 9: to say we will do no arm with our swords,
• 44:26
  Speaker 9: and that Pyramis is not killed. Indeed, and for the
• 44:29
  Speaker 9: more better assurance, tell them that I Pyramus am not Pyramus,
• 44:35
  Speaker 9: but Bottom the weaver. This will put them out of fear.
• 44:40
  Speaker 10: Well. We will have such a prologue and it shall
• 44:42
  Speaker 10: be written in eight and six.
• 44:45
  Speaker 9: No, make it two more. May it be written in
• 44:48
  Speaker 9: a and a.
• 44:50
  Speaker 22: Will not the ladies be a feared of the lion?
• 44:53
  Speaker 21: I fear it, I promise you.
• 44:56
  Speaker 9: Masters, you ought to consider with yourselves to bring in
• 44:59
  Speaker 9: God shield us a lion among ladies. It's a most
• 45:04
  Speaker 9: dreadful thing. For there is not a more fearful wild
• 45:07
  Speaker 9: fowl than your lion living, and we ought to look
• 45:10
  Speaker 9: to it.
• 45:11
  Speaker 22: Therefore, another prolog must tell he is not a lion.
• 45:16
  Speaker 9: Nay, you must name his name, and half his face
• 45:20
  Speaker 9: must be seen through the lion's neck, and he himself
• 45:23
  Speaker 9: must speak through saying thus, or the same defect, ladies,
• 45:28
  Speaker 9: or fair ladies, I would wish you, or I would
• 45:33
  Speaker 9: request you, or I would entreat you not to fear,
• 45:40
  Speaker 9: not to tremble my life for yours. If you think
• 45:44
  Speaker 9: I come hither as a lion, it were pity of
• 45:46
  Speaker 9: my life. No, I am no such thing. I am
• 45:51
  Speaker 9: a man as other men are. And there indeed, let
• 45:54
  Speaker 9: him name his name and tell them plainly he is
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: snug the joiner.
• 45:59
  Speaker 10: Well it's so. But there is two hard things. That
• 46:03
  Speaker 10: is to bring the moonlight into a chamber for you
• 46:07
  Speaker 10: know pyramids, and thisby meet by moonlight the moonshine.
• 46:12
  Speaker 22: That night we play our play.
• 46:14
  Speaker 9: A calendar, a calendar, look in the almanac, find out moonshine.
• 46:18
  Speaker 9: Find out moonshine.
• 46:19
  Speaker 10: Yes, it does shine that night.
• 46:22
  Speaker 9: Why then, may you leave a casement of the Great
• 46:25
  Speaker 9: Chamber window where we play open, and the moon may
• 46:29
  Speaker 9: shine in at the casement.
• 46:30
  Speaker 10: I or else one must come in with a bush
• 46:33
  Speaker 10: of thorns and a lanthorn, and say he comes to
• 46:37
  Speaker 10: disfigure or to present the person of moonshine. Then there
• 46:41
  Speaker 10: is another thing. We must have a war in the
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: Great Chamber for Pyramis. And thisby says the story to
• 46:48
  Speaker 10: talk through the chink of a wall.
• 46:50
  Speaker 22: You can never bring in a war, what say you
• 46:53
  Speaker 22: bottom hmm?
• 46:56
  Speaker 9: Some man or other must present war. And let him
• 47:01
  Speaker 9: have some plaster or some loam, or some rough cast
• 47:05
  Speaker 9: about him to signify wall. Let him hold his fingers
• 47:09
  Speaker 9: thus and through that cranny shall Pyramus. And thisby whisper.
• 47:16
  Speaker 10: If that may be, then all is well. Come sit down,
• 47:20
  Speaker 10: every mother's son, and rehearse your parts. Pyramus. You begin,
• 47:25
  Speaker 10: when you have spoken your speech, enter into that break
• 47:28
  Speaker 10: and sow everyone according to his cue.
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: Enter puck behind what hempen homespuns?
• 47:36
  Speaker 14: Have we swaggering here so near the cradle of the
• 47:39
  Speaker 14: fairy queen? What a plate toward I'll be an auditor,
• 47:44
  Speaker 14: an actor too, perhaps if I see cause.
• 47:47
  Speaker 10: Speak Pyramis thisby stand forth, this.

• 51:33
  Speaker 9: And yet to say the truth, Reason and love keep
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: little company together. Nowadays more of the petty that some

  Speaker 16: Thou shalt remain here, whether thou.

  Speaker 16: deep and sing while thou, unpressed flowers dost sleep. And
• 52:25
  Speaker 16: I will purge thy mortal grossness, so that thou shalt,

• 52:52
  Speaker 16: walks and gambol in his eyes. Feed him with apricocks
• 52:56
  Speaker 16: and dewberries, with purple grapes, green figs and mulbery's. The
• 53:01
  Speaker 16: honey bags steal from the humble bees, and for night

  Speaker 16: tapers crop their waxen thighs and light them at the
• 53:09
  Speaker 16: fiery glow worm's eyes. To have my love to bed
• 53:13
  Speaker 16: and to arise and pluck the wings from painted butterflies,
• 53:18
  Speaker 16: to fan the moonbeams from his sleeping eyes. Nod to him, elves,
• 53:23
  Speaker 16: and do him courtesies. Hail mortal, Hail, Hail hail.
• 53:30
  Speaker 9: I cry your Worship's mercy. Heartily, I beseech your worship's name, Cobweb,
• 53:36
  Speaker 9: I shall desire you of more acquaintance, Good Master Cobweb.
• 53:39
  Speaker 9: If I cut my finger, I shall make bold with
• 53:41
  Speaker 9: you your name, honest gentlemen, peace Blossom, I pray you
• 53:47
  Speaker 9: commend me to Mistress Squash, your mother, and a master
• 53:50

• 54:15
  Speaker 9: more acquaintance, Good Master mustard Seed.
• 54:18
  Speaker 16: Come wait upon him, Lead him to my bower. The moon, methinks,
• 54:24
  Speaker 16: looks with a watery eye, and when she weeps, weeps
• 54:28
  Speaker 16: every little flower lamenting some enforced chastity, tie up my
• 54:34
  Speaker 16: love's tongue, bring him silently.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Excillant scene too, another part of the wood. Enter Oberon.
• 54:51
  Speaker 15: I wonder if Titania be awaked, then what it was
• 54:55
  Speaker 15: that next came in her eye, which she must dote
• 54:58
  Speaker 15: on in extremity. Enter Puck, Here comes my messenger, How now,
• 55:04
  Speaker 15: mad spirit?
• 55:05
  Speaker 6: What night?
• 55:06
  Speaker 15: Rule? Now about this haunted grove?
• 55:08
  Speaker 14: My mistress with monsters in love near to her close
• 55:11
  Speaker 14: and consecrated bower. While she was in her dull and
• 55:14
  Speaker 14: sleeping hour, a crew of patches rude mechanicals that work
• 55:19
  Speaker 14: for bread upon Athenian stalls were met together to rehearse
• 55:22
  Speaker 14: a play intended for Great Theseus's nuptial day. The shallowest
• 55:26
  Speaker 14: thick skin of that barren sort who Pyramus presented in
• 55:29
  Speaker 14: their sport, forsook his scene and entered in a break.
• 55:32
  Speaker 14: When I did him at this advantage, take an asses
• 55:35
  Speaker 14: null lie fixed on his head, Anon his this be
• 55:38
  Speaker 14: must be answered, and forth my mimic comes. When they
• 55:42
  Speaker 14: hymn spy as wild geese that the creeping fowler eye
• 55:46
  Speaker 14: or Russid painted truffs, many in sort, rising and cawing
• 55:50
  Speaker 14: at the gun's report, severed themselves in madly sweep the sky.
• 55:55
  Speaker 14: So at his sight away his fellows fly, and at
• 55:58
  Speaker 14: our stamp here 'er in and o'er one falls. He
• 56:02
  Speaker 14: murder cries, and help from Athen's calls. Their sense thus weak, lost,
• 56:06
  Speaker 14: with their fears thus strong made senseless things begin to
• 56:10
  Speaker 14: do them wrong. For briars and thorns of their apparel
• 56:13
  Speaker 14: snatch some sleeves, some hats from yield, as all things catch.
• 56:18
  Speaker 14: I let them on in this distracted fear, and left
• 56:20
  Speaker 14: sweet Pyramus translated there when in that moment, so it
• 56:24
  Speaker 14: came to pass, Titania waked and straightway loved an ass.
• 56:30
  Speaker 15: This falls out better than I could devise. But hast
• 56:33
  Speaker 15: thou yet latched the Athenian's eyes with the love juice,
• 56:36
  Speaker 15: as I did bid thee do.
• 56:38
  Speaker 14: I took him sleeping. That is finished too, And the
• 56:41
  Speaker 14: Athenian woman by his side, that when he waked of force,
• 56:44
  Speaker 14: she must be eyed.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Enter Hermia and Demetrius stand close.
• 56:51
  Speaker 15: This is the same Athenian.
• 56:53
  Speaker 14: This is the woman, but not this the man.
• 56:57
  Speaker 6: Oh, why rebuke you him? That love you sow laid
• 57:01
  Speaker 6: breath so bitter on your bitter foe.
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: Now I but chiede. But I should use thee worse
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: for thou I fear hast given me cause to curse.
• 57:10
  Speaker 5: If thou hast slain Lysander in his sleep, being o'er
• 57:13
  Speaker 5: shoes and blood, plunge in the deep and kill me too,
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: the sun was not so true unto the day as
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: he to me. Would he have stolen away from sleeping
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: Hermia all believe as soon this whole earth may be bored,
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: and that the moon may through the center creep, and
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: so displease her brother's noontide with antipodes. It cannot be.
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: But thou hast murdered him. So should a murderer look
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: so dead, so grim?
• 57:39
  Speaker 6: So should the murdered look, and so should I pierce
• 57:43
  Speaker 6: through the heart with your stern cruelty. Yet you, the murderer,
• 57:47
  Speaker 6: look as bright as clear as yonder Venus in her
• 57:50
  Speaker 6: glimmering sphere.
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: What's this to my Lysander? Where is he?
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: Ah?
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: Good, Demetrius, wilt thou give him me?
• 57:58
  Speaker 6: I had rather give his carcass to my hounds.
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: Out dog out cur out, drivest me past the bounds
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: of maiden's patience. Hast thou slain him, then henceforth be
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: never numbered among men? Oh once tell true, Tell true,
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: even for my sake, darst thou have looked upon him
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: being awake, and hast thou killed him sleeping? Oh, brave touch,
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: could not a worm an adder do so much? An
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: adder did it for with a doubler tongue than thine, thou, serpent,
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: never adder stung.
• 58:30
  Speaker 6: You spend your passion on a misprized mood. I am
• 58:34
  Speaker 6: not guilty of Lysander's blood, nor is he dead. For
• 58:38
  Speaker 6: aught that I could tell.
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: I pray thee tell me then that he is well?
• 58:42
  Speaker 6: And if I could, what should I get?
• 58:44
  Speaker 9: There?
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: For a privilege never to see me more? And from
• 58:47
  Speaker 5: thy hated presence part I sow see me no more,
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: whether he be dead or no exitt There.
• 58:55
  Speaker 6: Is no following her in this fierce vain here there
• 59:00
  Speaker 6: for for a while I will remain.
• 59:03
  Speaker 23: So Sorrow's heaviness doth heavier grow for debt that bankrupt
• 59:08
  Speaker 23: sleep doth sorrow, oh, which now in some slight measure
• 59:12
  Speaker 23: it will pay, if for his tender here I make
• 59:16
  Speaker 23: some stay.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: Lies down and sleeps.
• 59:20
  Speaker 15: What hast thou done? Thou hast mistaken quite and laid
• 59:24
  Speaker 15: the love juice on some true love sight, a thy
• 59:27
  Speaker 15: misprison must perforce ensue some true love turned, and not
• 59:31
  Speaker 15: a false turn true.
• 59:33
  Speaker 14: Then fate or rules that one man holding troph a
• 59:36
  Speaker 14: million fail confounding oath on oath.
• 59:40
  Speaker 15: About the wood, go swifter than the wind, and Helena
• 59:43
  Speaker 15: of Athens, look thou find all fancy. Sick she is
• 59:47
  Speaker 15: and pale of cheer, with sighs of love that cost
• 59:50
  Speaker 15: the fresh blood deer by some illusions. See thou bring
• 59:53
  Speaker 15: her here. I'll charm his eyes against she do appear?
• 59:56
  Speaker 14: I go, I go, Look how I go swifter than
• 59:59
  Speaker 14: arrow from the tatas exit.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 15: Flower of this purple dye, hit with Cupid's archery, sink
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 15: in apple of his eye. When his love he doth
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 15: a spy. Let her shine as gloriously as the venus
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 15: of the sky. When thou wakest, if she be by
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 15: beg of her for remedy, re enter Puck.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 14: Captain of our fairy band. Helena is here at hand,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 14: and the youth mistook by me pleading for a lover's fee.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 14: Shall we there, fond pageantcy Lord, what fools these mortals be?
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 15: Stand aside? The noise they make will cause Demetrius to awake.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 14: Then will two at once woo one that must needs
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 14: be sport alone, and those things do best please me
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 14: that befall preposterously.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: Enter Lysander and Helena.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 7: Why should you think that I should woo in scorn?
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 7: Scorn and derision never come in tears. Look when I vow,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 7: I weep, and vows so born in their nativity, all
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 7: truth appears. How can these things in me seem scorn
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 7: to you? Bearing the badge of faith to prove them true?
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 8: You do advance your cunning more and more when truth
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 8: kills truth, Oh devilish, holy fray. These vows are hermias.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 8: Will you give her? Are weigh oath with oath, and
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 8: you will nothing weigh Your vows to her and me
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 8: put in two scales will even weigh, and both as
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 8: light as tails.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 7: I had no judgment when to her I swore.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 8: Nor none in my mind. Now you give her all.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 7: Demitrius loves her, and he loves not you.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 6: Oh Helena, goddess Nymph, perfect divine to what my love?
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 6: Shall I compare? Thine eye crystal is muddy? Oh how
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 6: ripe and show thy lips those kissing cherries tempting grow
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 6: that pure congealed white high tarus snow fanned with the
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 6: eastern wind, turns to a crow when thou hold'st up
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 6: thy hand. Oh let me kiss this princess of pure white,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 6: this seal of bliss.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 8: Oh spite, Oh hell, I see you all are bent
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 8: to set against me for your merriment. If you were
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 8: civil in new courtesy, you would not do me this
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 8: much injury. Can you not hate me as I know
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 8: you do? But you must join in souls to mock
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 8: me too? If you were men, as men you are
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 8: in show, you would not use a gentle lady so
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 8: to vowl and swear and super praise my parts. When
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 8: I am sure you hate me with your hearts. You
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 8: both are rivals and love Hermia, and now both rivals
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 8: to mock Helena a trim, exploit a manly enterprise, to
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 8: conjure tears up in a poor maid's eyes with your derision.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 8: None of noble sort would so offend a virgin and
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 8: extort a poor soul's patience, all to make you sport.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 7: You are unkind to Demetrius, be not so, For you
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 7: love Hermia. This you know, I though, and with all
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 7: good will, with all my heart, in Hermia's love, I
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 7: yield you up my part and yours of Helena to
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 7: me bequeath whom I do love and will do till
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 7: my death.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 8: Never did makers waste more idle breath.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 6: Lysander, keep thy Hermia. I will none if e'er I
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 6: loved her all that love is gone my heart to her.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 6: But as guest wise, sojourn and now to Helen? Is
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 6: it home? Returned there to remain Helen?
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 24: It is not so.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 6: Despair is not the faith thou dost not know? Bless
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 6: to thy herald, Thou abide it, dear, look where thy
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 6: love comes yonder is thy dear.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 5: Re enter Hermia, dark knight, that from the eye his
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: function takes the ear more quick of apprehension makes wherein
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 5: it doth impair the seeing sense it pays the hearing
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: double recompense. Thou art not by mine eye? Lysander found
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: mine ear. I thank it brought me to thy sound.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: But why unkindly didst thou leave me?
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 10: So?
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 7: Why should he stay whom love doth pressed to go?
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 5: What love could press Lysander from my side?
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 7: Lysander's love that would not let him bide fair Helena,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 7: who more in guilds the night than all you fiery
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 7: ohs and eyes of light? Why seeks thou me? Could
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 7: not this make THEE know the hate I bear? THEE
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 7: made me leave THEE?
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 5: So you speak not as you think it cannot be
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: lo she.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 8: Is one of this confederacy. Now I perceive they have
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 8: conjoined all three to fashion this false sport in spite
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 8: of me injurious Hermia, most ungrateful maid? Have you conspired?
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 8: Have you with these contrived to baite me with this
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 8: foul derision? Is all the counsel that we two have shared,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 8: the sisters vows, the hours that we have spent when
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 8: we have chid, the hasty footed time for parting us?
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 23: Oh?
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 8: Is it all forgot? All school days, friendship, childhood, innocence?
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 8: We Hermia, like two artificial gods, have, with our needles,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 8: created both one flower, both on one sampler, sitting on
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 8: one cushion, both warbling of one song, both in one key,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 8: as if our hands, our sides, voices, and minds had
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 8: been in corporate. So we grow together, like to a
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 8: double cherry, seeming parted, but yet a union in partition,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 8: two lovely berries molded on one stem, so with two
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 8: seeming bodies, but one heart, two of the first, like
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 8: coats in heraldry, do but to one and crowned with
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 8: one crest? And will you rent our ancient love asunder
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 8: to join with men in scorning your poor friend? It
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 8: is not friendly. It does not maidenly our sex, as
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 8: well as I may chide you for it, though I
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 8: alone do feel the injury.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: I am amazed at your passionate words. I scorn you
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 5: not it seems that you scorn me?
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 8: Have you not set Lysander as in scorn, to follow
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 8: me and praise my eyes and face? And made your
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 8: other love Demetrius, who even but now did spurn me
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 8: with his foot to call me goddess Nymph, divine and rare,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 8: precious celestial. Wherefore speaks Ee this to her he hates?
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 8: And wherefore doth Lysander deny your love so rich within
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 8: his soul, and tender me forsooth affection? But by your
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 8: setting on, but by your consent? What though I be
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 8: not so ingrace as you, so hung upon with love
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 8: so fortunate, but miserable most to love unloved, this you
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 8: should pity rather than despise.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 5: I understand not what you mean by this?
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 8: Ay, do persevere counterfeit, sad looks, make mouths upon me
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 8: when I turn my back, wink at each other. Hold
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 8: the sweet jest up. This sport well carried shall be chronicled.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 8: If you have any pity, grace, or manners, you would
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 8: not make me such an argument. But fare you well
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 8: tis partly my own fault, which death or absence soon
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 8: shall remedy.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: Stay gentle, helemnah, hear my excuse, my love, my life,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 7: my soul.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 5: Fair Helena, oh excellent sweet, do not scorn her.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 6: So if she cannot entreat, I can compel.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 7: Thou canst compel no more than she entreat. Thy threats
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 7: have no more strength than her weak prayers, Helen. I
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 7: love THEE by my life. I do. I swear by
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 7: that which I will lose for THEE to prove him false.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 7: That says I love THEE.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 6: Not I say I love THEE more than he can do.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 7: If thou say so, withdraw and prove it too quick?
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: Come, Lysander, where too tens all this away?
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 7: You ethyope?
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 6: No, no, he'll seem to break loose, Take on as
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 6: you would follow. But yet come not you are a
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 6: tain man.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 7: Go hang off thou cat thou burr vile thing. Let
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 7: loose or I will shake THEE from me like a serpent.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 5: Why are you grown so rude? What change is this?
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 5: Sweet love?
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 7: Thy love? Oh tawny totter out out, loathed medicine, hated potion.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 5: Hence do you not jest?
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 22: Yes?
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 7: Sooth, and so do you, Demetrius. I will keep my
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 7: word with THEE.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 6: Why would I had your bond? For I perceive a
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 6: weak bond holds you. I'll not trust your word.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 7: What should I hurt her? Strike her, kill her dead?
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 7: Although I hate her, I'll not harm her.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 5: So what can you do me greater harm than hate?
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 5: Hate me? We'refore? Oh me, what news? My love? Am
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 5: I not Hermia? Are not you? Lysander? I am as
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 5: fair now as I was Erewhile since knight you loved me,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: Yet since night you left me? Why then you left me?
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 25: Oh?
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 5: The gods forbid in earnest? Shall I say?
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 7: I buy my life, and never did desire to see
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 7: THEE more? Therefore be out of hope, of question of doubt,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 7: be certain nothing truer tis no jest that I do
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 7: hate THEE and love Helena.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 5: Oh me, you juggler, you canker blossom, you thief of love?
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 5: What have you come by night and stolen my love's
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 5: heart from him?
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 8: Fine a faith? Have you no modesty, no maiden shame,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 8: no touch of bashfulness?
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: What will you tear?
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 8: Impatient answers from my gentle tongue. Fie, fie, you counterfeit,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 8: you puppet, you puppet?
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 5: Why so ay? That way goes the game?
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 5: I perceived that she hath made compare between our statures.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 5: She hath urged her height and with her personage, her
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 5: tall personage, her height. Forsooth she hath prevailed with him?
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 5: Are you grown so high in his esteem? Because I
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 5: am so dwarfish and so low? Hell lo am I
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 5: thou painted mapole? Speak? Hollow? Am I? I am not
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 5: yet so low, but that my nails reach unto thine eyes.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 8: I pray you, though you mock me, gentlemen, let her
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 8: not hurt me. I was never cursed. I have no
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 8: gift at all in shrewishness. I am a right maid
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 8: for my cowardice. Let her not strike me. You perhaps
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 8: may think, because she is something lower than myself, that
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 8: I can match her lower.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 5: Hark again, good.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 8: Hermia, do not be so bitter with me. I evermore
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 8: did love you, Hermia? Did ever keep your counsels? Never
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 8: wronged you save that in love? Unto Demetrius, I told
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 8: him of your stealth, unto this wood, he followed you
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 8: for love. I followed him, But he hath chidded me
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 8: hence and threatened me to strike me, spurn me, nay,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 8: to kill me too. And now so you will let
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 8: me quiet go to Athens? Will I bear my folly
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 8: back and follow you no further? Let me go? You
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 8: see how simple and how fond I am?
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 5: Why get you gone? Who is it that hinders you?
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 8: A foolish heart that I leave here behind?
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 5: What with Lysander?
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 8: With Demetrius?
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 7: Be not afraid? She shall not harm thee Helena.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 6: No, sir, she shall not, though you take her part.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 8: Oh, when she's angry. She is keen and shrewd. She
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 8: was a vixen when she went to school. And though
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 8: she be but little, she is fierce.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 5: Little again, nothing but low and little? Why will you
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 5: suffer her to flout me?
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 24: Thus?
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 5: Let me come to her?
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 7: Get you gone, you dwarf, You minimis of hindering. Not
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 7: grass made you bead you acorn.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 6: You are too officious in her behalf that scorns your services.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 6: Let her alone, speak not of Helena. Take not her part.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 6: For if thou dost intend never so little show of
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 6: love to her, thou shalt aby it.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 7: Now she holds me. Not now follow, if thou darest

  Speaker 4: Follow?
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 6: Nay, I'll go with thee cheek by.

  Speaker 5: You, mistress, all this coil is long of you. Nay,

  Speaker 5: go not back.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 8: I will not trust you, I nor longer stay in
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 8: your cursed company. Your hands than mine are quicker for
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 8: a fray, My legs are longer though to run away.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: Exit.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 5: I am amazed and know not what to say.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: Exit.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 15: This is thine negligence. Still thou mistakest, or else committest
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 15: thy knaveries wilfully.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 14: Believe me, King of Shadows, I mistook? Did not you
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 14: tell me I should know the man by the Athenian
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 14: garment he had on? And so far blameless proves my
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 14: enterprise that I have anointed in Athenian's eyes. And so
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 14: far am I glad it? So did sort as this
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 14: their jangling I esteem a sport.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 15: Thou seest these lovers seek a place to fight. Hie
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 15: thee Therefore robin o'er cast the knight the starry welcn
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 15: cover thou anon with drooping fog, as black as acheron,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 15: and lead these testy rivals so astray as one come
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 15: not within another's way, like to thy Sander some time
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 15: frame thy tongue then stir Demetrius up with bitter wrong,
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 15: and some time rail Thou like Demetrius, and from each
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 15: other look Thou lead them thus till o'er their brow's death.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 15: Counterfeiting sleep with leaden legs and batty wings doth creep.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 15: Then crush this herb into Lysander's eye, whose liquor hath
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 15: this virtuous property to take from thence all error with
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 15: his might, and make his eyeballs roll with wonted sight.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 15: When they next wake, all this derision shall seem a
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 15: dream and fruitless vision. And back to Athens shall the
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 15: lover's wend with league, whose date till death shall never end.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 15: Whilst I in this affair to thee employ, I'll to
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 15: my queen and beg her indian boy, And then I
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 15: will her charmid eye release from monster's view, and all
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 15: things shall be peace.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 14: My fairy lord, this must be done with haste, for
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 14: night swift dragons cut the clouds full fast, and yonder
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 14: shines Aurora as harbinger, at whose approach, Ghosts wandering here
• 1:13:56

  Speaker 14: beds are gone, for fear lest they should look their
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 14: shames upon, they wilfully themselves exile from light and must.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 14: For I consort with black browed night.

• 1:22:02
  Speaker 15: pity for meeting her of late behind the wood, seeking
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 15: sweet favors from this hateful fool. I did upbraid her
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 15: and fall out with her, for she his hairy temples
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 15: then had rounded with a coronet of fresh and fragrant flowers.

  Speaker 15: faithful lovers be wedded with theseus, all in jollity.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 14: Fairy king attendant mock, I do you hear the morning luck?
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 15: Then, my Queen, in silence, sad trip we after the
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 15: night shade. We the globe can compass soon swifter than
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 15: the wandering moon.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 16: Come, my lord, and in our flight, tell me how
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 16: it came this night that I, sleeping here was found
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 16: with these mortals on the ground.

  Speaker 1: Exiant horns winded within. Enter theseus, Hippolyta, eegius, and.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: Train go one of you find out the forester. For
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: now our observation is performed. And since we have the
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: varward of the day, my love shall hear the music
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: of my hounds and couple in the western valley let
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: them go despatch, I say, and find.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: The forester, exit and attendant.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: We will fare Queen up to the mountain's top and
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: mark the musical confusion of hounds and echo in conjunction.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 3: I was with Hercules and Catmus once, when in a
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 3: wood of crete they bathe the bear with hounds of Sparta.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 3: Never did I hear such gallant chiding. For besides the groves,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 3: the skies, the fountains, every region near seemed all one
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 3: mutual cry, I never heard so musical a discord, such
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: sweet thunder.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind, so fluid,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: so sanded, and their heads are hung with ears that
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: sweep away the morning dew, crooked kneed and dew lapp'd
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: like Thessalian bulls, slow in pursuit, but matched in mouth
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: like bells, each under each A crime more tuneable was
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: never holed to, nor cheered with horn in crete in Sparta,
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: nor in Thessaly. Judge what you hear, but soft? What
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: nymphs are these?
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 4: My lord? This is my daughter here asleep, and this Lysander,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 4: this Demetrius, is this Helena, old Nidar's Helena. I wonder
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 4: of their being here together.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: No doubt, they rose up early to observe the right
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: of may, and hearing our intent, came hearing grace, our solemnity.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: But speak, egeus. Is not this the day that Hermia
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: should answer of her choice? It is, my lord, go
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: bid the huntsmen, wake them with their horns.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: Horns and shout within. Lysander, Demetrius, Helena, and Hermia wake
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: and start up.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: Good morrow, friends, Saint Valentine is past, Begin these wood birds.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: But to couple now?
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 7: Pardon, my lord, I pray.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: You all stand up. I know you too are rival enemies.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: How comes this gentle concord in the world? That hatred
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: is so far from jealousy? To sleep by hate and
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: fear no enmity.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 7: My Lord, I shall reply amazedly, half sleep, half waking.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 7: But as yet I swear I cannot truly say how
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 7: I came here, But as I think, for truly would
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 7: I speak? And now do I bethink me? So it
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 7: is I came with Hermia. Hither our intent was to
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 7: be gone from Athens, where we might without the peril
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 7: of the Athenian law.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 4: Enough enough, my lord, you have enough. I beg the law,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 4: the law upon his head they would have stolen away,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 4: They would Demetrius thereby to have defeated you and me,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 4: You of your wife, and me of my consent, of
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 4: my consent that she should be your wife.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 6: My lord, Fair Helen told me of their stealth, of
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 6: this their purpose hitherto this wood, and I, in fury
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 6: hither followed them, Fair Helena in fancy following me. But
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 6: my good Lord, I WoT not by what power, but
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 6: by some power. It is my love to Hermia, melted
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 6: as the snow seems to me now as the remembrance
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 6: of an idle god, which in my childhood I diddote upon,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 6: and all the faith the virtue of my heart, the
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 6: object and the pleasure of mine eye. Only Helena to her,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 6: my Lord, was I betrothed. Ere I saw Hermia, But
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 6: like in sickness did I loathe this food, But as
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 6: in health, come to my natural taste. Now I do
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 6: wish it, love it, long for it, and will for
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 6: evermore be true to it.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: Fair lovers, you are fortunately met of this discourse, we
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: more will hear. Anon Egius, I will overbear your will,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: for in the temple, by and by with us these
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: couples shall eternally be knit and for the morning. Now
• 1:29:37

• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: Come Hippolyta exeant theseus, Hippolyta Egius, and.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 6: Train These things seem small and undistinguishable.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 5: Methinks I see these things with parted eye, when everything
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 5: seems double.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 8: So Ma thinks. And I have found Demetrius like a
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 8: jewel mine own and not mine own?
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 6: Are you sure that we are awake? It seems to
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 6: me that yet we sleep we dream. Do not you
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 6: think the duke was here and bid us follow him?
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 10: Yay?
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 7: And my father and Topolita, and he did bid us
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 7: follow to the temple.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 6: Why then we are awake. Let's follow him? And by
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 6: the way, let us recount our dreams.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: Exeunt awaking?
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 9: How am my cue comes? Call me and I will
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 9: answer My next is most fair? Paramus?
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: Hey ho.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 9: Pay ir quench float the bellows mender? Is that the
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 9: tinker start letting course my life stolen hands and left
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 9: me asleep? I have had her most rare vision. I've
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 9: had a dream past the wit of man to say
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 9: what dream it was? Man is but an ass. If
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 9: you go about to expound this dream me thought I would.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 9: There is no man can tell what me thought I was,
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 9: and me thought I had. The man is but a
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 9: patch of fool. If he will have to say what
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 9: me thought I had. The eye of man hath not heard,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 9: the ear of man, hath not seen man's hand is
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 9: not able to taste his tongue to conceive. No is
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 9: that to report what my dream was. I will get
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 9: Peter Quince to write a ballad of this dream. It
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 9: shall be called Bottoms Dream, because it hath no bomb,
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 9: and I will sing it in the latter end of
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 9: a play before the duke peradventure. To make it the
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 9: more gracious, I shall sing you out our death.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 26: Humh Exit scene too Athens Quince's house, Enter Quince, flute,
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 26: snout and starveling.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 10: Have you sent to Bottom's house? Is he come home? Yet?
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 21: He cannot be heard of out of doubt he is transported.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 11: If he come not, then the play is marred. It
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 11: goes not forward, does it?
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 10: It is not possible. You have not a man in
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 10: all Athens able to discharged to pyramids.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 11: But he no, he hath simply the best wheat of
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 11: any handicraft mad in Athens.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 10: Yea, and the best person too, And he is a
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 10: very paramour for a sweet voice.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 11: You must say, paragon A paramour is God bless us
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 11: a thing of naught.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: And her snug masters.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 12: The Duke is coming from the temple, and there is
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 12: two or three lords and ladies more married. If our
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 12: sport had gone forward, we had all been made men.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 11: Oh Swede bully bottom. Thus had he lost sixpence a
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 11: day during his life? He can not have escape sixpence
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 11: a day. And the Duke had not give it him
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 11: sixpence a day to plain pitamus, I'll be hanged. He
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 11: would have deserved it sixpence a day in pitnamus or nothing.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: And her bottom?
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 9: Where are these lads? Where are these hearts bottom?
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 10: Oh, most courageous day, Oh, most happier masters.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 9: I am to discourse wonders. But ask me not, for
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 9: if I tell you, I am no true Athenian. Oh,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 9: I will tell you everything right?
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 26: Is it fell out?
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 10: Let us hear, sweet bottom.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 9: Not a word of me. All that I will tell
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 9: you is that the Duke hath dyed. Get your apparel together,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 9: good strings to your birds, new ribbons to your pumps,
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 9: meet presently at the palace. Every man look over his part,
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 9: for the shore and the lung is our play is preferred.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 9: In any case. Let this we have clean linen, and
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 9: let not in that plays the lion pare his nails,
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 9: for they shall hang out for the lion's claws. And
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 9: most dear actors eat no onions, no garlic, for we
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 9: are to utter sweet breath. And I do not doubt
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 9: what the way of them say. It is a sweet comedy.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 9: No more words, away, go.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: Away, exeant end of Act four, Act five, Scene one, Athens,
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: the palace of theseus, enter theseus, Hippolyta, Philistrate, lords and attendants.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 3: Tis strange my theseus, that these lovers.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: Speak of, more strange than true. I never may believe
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: these antique fables, nor these fairy toys. Lovers and madmen
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: have such seething brains, such shaping fantasies, that apprehend more
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: than cool reason ever comprehends. The lunatic, the lover, and
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: the poet are of imagination. All compact one sees more
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: devils than vast hell can hold. That is, the madman,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: the lover, all as frantic sees Helen's beauty in a
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: brow of Egypt. The poet's eye and fine frenzy rolling
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven.
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: And as imagination bodies forth the forms of things unknown,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: the poet's pen turns them to shapes, and gives to
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: airy nothing a local habitation and a name. Such tricks
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: hath strong imagination, that, if it would but apprehend some joy,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: it comprehends some bringer of that joy, Or in the
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: night imagining some fear. How easy is a bush supposed
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: a bear?
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 3: But all the story of the night told over, and
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 3: all their minds transfigured, so together more witnesseth than fancy's images,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: and grows to something of great constancy. But howsoever strange
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 3: and admirable.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: Here come the lovers, full of joy and mirth.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: Enter Lysander, Demetrius, Hermia, and Helena.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: Joy, gentle friends, Joy and fresh days of love accompany
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: your he hearts.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 7: More than to us. Wait in your royal walks, your board,
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 7: your bed.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: Come now, what masks? What dances? Shall we have to
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: wear away? This long age of three hours between our
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: after supper and bedtime? Where is our usual manager of mirth?
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: What revels are in hand? Is there no play? To
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: ease the anguish of a torturing hour. Kfill a strait.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 24: Here, Mighty, theseus.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: Say, what a bridgement have you for this evening?
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 7: What mask?
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 14: What music?
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: How shall we beguile the lazy time? If not with
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: some delight.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 24: There is a brief? How many sports are ripe? Make
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 24: choice of which your Highness will see first?
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 2: Giving a paper reads the battle with the Centaurs, to
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: be sung by an Athenian eunuch to the harp. Will
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: none of that that have I told? My love and
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: glory of my kinsman Hercules. The riot of the tipsy
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: bacchanals tearing the Thracian singer in their rage. That is
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: an old device, and it was played when I from
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: Thebes came last to conqueror the thrice three muses burning
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: for the death of learning, late, deceased and beggary. That
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: is some satire, keen and critical, not sorting with a
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: nuptial ceremony. A tedious brief scene of young Pyramus and
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: his love. Thisby very tragical mirth, merry and tragical, tedious
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: and brief, that is hot, ice and wondrous, strange snow.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 2: How shall we find the concord of this discord.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 24: A play there is, my lord, some ten words long,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 24: which is as brief as I have known a play.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 24: But by ten words, my lord, it is too long,
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 24: which makes it tedious. For in all the play there
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 24: is not one word apt, one player fitted and tragical.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 24: My Lord, it is for Pyramus therein doth kill himself,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 24: which when I saw rehearsed, I must confess, made mine
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 24: eyes water, but more merry tears, the passion of loud
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 24: laughter never shed.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: What are they that do play it?
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 24: Hard handed? Men that work in Athens here, which never
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 24: labored in their minds till now, and now have toiled
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 24: their unbreathed memories with this same play against your.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: Nuptial and we will hear it.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 24: No, my noble lord, it is not for you. I
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 24: have heard it over and it is nothing nothing in
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 24: the world unless you can find sport in their intents,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 24: extremely stretched and conned with cruel pain to do you service.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: I will hear that play, for never anything can be
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: amiss when simpleness and duty tender it. Go bring them
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: in and take your places.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: Ladies, exit fillustrait.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 3: I love not to see wretchedness o'er charged and duty
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: in his service perishing.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: Why, gentle sweet, you shall see no such.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 3: Thing, he says, they can do nothing in this kind.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: The kinder we to give them thanks for nothing. Our
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: sports shall be to take what they mistake, and what
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: poor duty cannot do. Noble respect takes it in might
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: not merit. Where I have come, great clerks have purposed
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: to greet me with premeditated welcomes. Where I have seen
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: them shiver and look pale, make periods in the midst
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: of sentences, throttle their practiced accent in their fears, and
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: in conclusion dumbly have broke off not paying me a welcome.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: Trust me, sweet, out of this silence. Yet I picked
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: a welcome, and in the modesty of fearful duty, I
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: read as much as from the rattling tongue of saucy
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: and audacious eloquence. Love therefore and tongue tied simplicity in
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 2: least speak most to my capacity city.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: Re enter fillustrate.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 24: So please your grace the prologue is addressed.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: Let him approach flourish of trumpets. Enter quints for the prologue.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 10: If we offend, it is with our good will that
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 10: you should think we come not to offend, but with
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 10: good will to show our simple skill. That is the
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 10: true beginning of our end. Consider, then we came, but
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 10: in despite we do not come as minding too content
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 10: you our true intent is or for your delight. We
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 10: are not here that you should here repent you. The
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 10: actors are at hand, and by their show you shall
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 10: know all that you are like to know.
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: This fellow doth not stand upon points.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 7: He hath Riddy's prologue like a rough could he knows
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 7: not the stop a good moral. My lord. It is
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 7: not enough to speak, but to speak true.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 3: Indeed, he hath played on his prolog like a child
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 3: on a recorder, a sound, but not in government.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: His speech was like a tangled chain, nothing impaired, but
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: all disordered. Who is next?
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: Enter Pyramus, and thisby wall, moonshine and lion gentles.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 10: Perchance you wonder at this show, but wander on till
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 10: truth makes all things plain. This man is Pyramus. If
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 10: you would know this, beauteous lady, thisby is certain. This man,
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 10: with lime and rough cast, doth present wall that bar
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 10: wall which did these lovers sunder, And through war's chink,
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 10: poor souls, they are content to whisper at the witch.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 10: Let no man wonder this man with land, torn dog
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 10: and bush of thorn present at moonshine. For if you
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 10: will know, by moonshine, did these lovers think no scorn
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 10: to meet at Ninna's tomb? There there to woo this
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 10: grisly beast, which lion hight by name the trusted. Thisbee,
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 10: coming first by night, did scare away, or rather did affright?
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 10: And as she fled her mantle, she did fall, which
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 10: lion vile, with bloody mouth did stain. Anon comes pyramous, sweet,
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 10: youth and tall, and finds his trusty thisbee's mantle, slain
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 10: whereat with blade, with bloody, blameful blade, he bravely broke
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 10: his boiling, bloody breast, and this be tearing in a
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 10: mulberry shade, his dagger drew and died. For all the rest,
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 10: let lion, moonshine, wall, and lovers twain at large discourse.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 10: Why they here do remain.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: Eggiant prolog thisbee, lion and moonshine.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: I wonder if the lion be to speak.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 6: No wonder, my lord, one lion may when many asses do.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 22: In this same interlude, it doth befall that I one
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 22: snout by name present a wall, and such a wall,
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 22: as I would have you think, that had in it
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 22: a crannied hole or chink through which the lovers Pyramus
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 22: and thisby did whisper often very secretly. This loam, this
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 22: rough cast, and this stone doth show that I am
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 22: that same wall. The truth is so, and this the
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 22: cranny is right and sinister, through which the fearful lovers
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 22: are to whisper.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: Would you desire lyme and hair to speak better?
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 6: It is the wittiest partition that ever I heard discourse.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: My lord enter Piramus.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: Pyramis draws near the wall silence.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 9: Oh grim look knight, oh night with you so black night,
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 9: whichever art one day is not? Oh night, oh night
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 9: a lack a lack a lack. I fear my Thissby's
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 9: promises for God, And thou o wall o, sweet o
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 9: lovely wall that stands between her father's ground and mine.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 9: Thou wall o wall, oh, sweet and lovely wall, show
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 9: me thy chink to blink through with mine eye.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: Wall holds up his fingers.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 9: Thanks courteous wall, Jove shield thee well for this. But
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 9: what see I no this bee? Do I see o
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 9: wicked wall, through whom I see no bliss. Curse It'd
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 9: be thy stones for thus deceiving me.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: The wall methinks, being sensible should curse again.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 9: Truth sir, he should not deceive in me. Is thisbe's cue.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 9: She is to enter now, and I'm to spire through
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 9: the wall. You shall see it will fall past as
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 9: I told you yonder she comes enter thisbe.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 11: Oh wall full Often as thou heard my moans for
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 11: parting my fair pitramus in me, my cherry lips have
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 11: often kissed thy stones, thy stones with lyme, and here
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 11: knit hop in thee.
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 9: I see a voice now, will I to the chink
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 9: to spy, and I can hear my thisbe's face, thesbe.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: My love.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 11: Thou art my love.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 9: I think, think what thou wilt. I am thy lover's grace,
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 9: and like Lemander and my trusty stealth.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 11: And I like Helen till the fights me kill.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 9: Not Schaffle as to procress was so.
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 11: True as schaffle as to procress.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 9: I oh kiss me through the hole of this vile wall.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 11: I kiss the wall's hole. Not your lips at all.
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 9: Wilt thou Minni's tomb meet me straight away.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 11: Tide, life, tide death. I come without.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: Denay, Egiant Piramus, And thisby.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 22: Thus have I wall my part discharged so and being
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 22: done thus wall away doth go exit.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 2: Now is the mural down between the two neighbors.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 6: No remedy, my lord, when walls are so wilful to
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 6: hear without warning.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 3: This is the silliest stuff that ever I heard.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: The best in this kind are but shadows, and the
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 2: worst are no worse. If imagination amend them.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 3: It must be your imagination then, and not theirs.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: If we imagine no worse of them than they of themselves,
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: they may pass for excellent men. Here comes to noble
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: be sin a man and a lion.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: Enter, lion and Moonshine.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 27: You ladies, youse gentle arts, do fear the smallest monstrous
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 27: mouse that creeps on floor may now perchance both quake
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 27: and tremble ear, when lion.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 12: Rough and wildest rage doth roar. Then no that I
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 12: one snug the joiner an a lion fell, nor else
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 12: now lions down. For if I should, as lion come
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 12: and strife into this place, tow're pity on my life.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: A very gentle beast of a good conscience, the.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 6: Very best at a beast, my lord, that ere I saw.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 7: This lion is a very fox for his.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 2: Valor true, and a goose for his discretion.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 6: Not so, my lord, for his valor cannot carry his discretion.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 6: And the fox carries the goose.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: His discretion, I am sure cannot carry his valor. For
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: the goose carries not the fox. It is well leave
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 2: it to his discretion, and let us listen to the moon.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 21: This lanthor doth the horned moon present?
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 6: He should have worn the horns on his head.
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 2: He is no crescent, and his horns are invisible within
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 2: the circumference.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 21: This lanthorn doth the horned moon present? Myself the man
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 21: in the moon do seem to be.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 2: This is the greatest error of all the rest. The
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: man should be put into the lanthorn. How is it else?
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 6: The man in the moon, he dares not come there
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 6: for the candle, For you see it is already and snuff.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 3: I am awary of this moon. Would he would change?
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: It appears by his small light of discretion that he
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: is in the wane. But yet, in courtesy, in all reason,
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: we must stay the time proceed moon.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 21: All that I have to say is to tell you
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 21: that the lanthan is the moon. I the man in
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 21: the moon. This thorn bush, my thorn bush, and this dog,
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 21: my dog.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 6: Why all these should be in the lanthorn, For all
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 6: these are in the moon. But silence, here comes thisbe.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: Enter thisbee, This is old nitties too?
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 11: Where is my love?
• 1:50:31

  Speaker 2: Well roared lion, Well run thisbee, well shone moon.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 3: Truly the moon shines with a good grace.
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: The lion shakes thissbee's mantle and exit.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: Well moused lion.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 7: And so the lion vanished, and then came Pyramus.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: Enter Piramus, sweet Moon.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 9: I thank THEE for thy sunny beams. I thank THEE
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 9: Moon for shining now so bright, for by thy gracious, golden,
• 1:51:04

  Speaker 9: Do you see? How can it be? Oh dainty duck,
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 9: oh dear thy mantle? Good? What stained with blood?
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: Approachy?
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 9: Furies fell? Oh fates come, come, cut thread and from
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 9: quail crush, conclude and cor.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 2: This passion and the death of a dear friend would
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 2: go near to make a man look sad.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 3: Beshrew my heart. But I pity the man.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 9: Oh, wherefore nature didst thou lion's frame, Since lion voile
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 9: hath heard flowered my dear, which is no no, which
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 9: was the fairest dame that lived, that love, that light,
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 9: that looked with cheer, come tears, confound out sword and
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 9: wound the pap of Pyramus high, that left pap where
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 9: art doth.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: Hop stabs himself.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 9: Thus die I thus thus thus now am I dead?
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 9: Now am I fled? My soul is in the sky tongue,
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 9: lose thy light, moon, take thy.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: Flight, exit moon shine.
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 25: Now die die, die, die dies.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 6: No die but an ace for him, for he is
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 6: but one.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 7: Less than an ace man. For he is dead, he
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 7: is nothing.
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 2: With the help of a surgeon, he might yet recover
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 2: and prove an ass.
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 3: How chance, Moonshine is gone before Thisby comes back and
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 3: finds her lover.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 2: She will find him by starlight. Here she comes, and
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 2: her passion ends the play.
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 3: Re enter Thisby methinks she should not use a long
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 3: one for such a pyramids. I hope she will be brief.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 6: A mote will turn the balance which pyramids, which thisby
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 6: is the better. He for a man, God warrant us,
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 6: she a woman God bless us.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 7: She has spied him already with those threeet eyes.
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 6: And thus she means the delicit.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 11: Asleep, my love, what dead, my dove, Oh pyramus, arise
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 11: speak speak quite dumb dead dead. A tomb must cover
• 1:54:23

• 1:54:30
  Speaker 11: yellow cowslip cheeks hot gone, hok gone lovers make moan.

  Speaker 11: His eyes were green as leaks. Oh sisters three, come

• 1:55:20
  Speaker 2: Moonshine and Lion are left to bury the dead II
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 2: and the wall too.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 9: No, I assure you the wall is down the part
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 9: of their fathers. Will it please you to see the
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 9: epilog or to hear a burgamask dance between two of
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 9: our company?
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 2: No epilogue. I pray you, for your play needs no
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 2: excuse never excuse, for when the players are all dead,
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 2: there needs none to be blamed.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 7: Mary.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 2: If he that rid it had played Pyramus and hanged
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 2: himself in thisby's garter, it would have been a fine tragedy.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 2: And so it is truly and very notably discharged. But

• 1:56:38
  Speaker 14: whilst the heavy plowman snores, all with weary task foredone.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 14: Now the wasted brands do glow, whilst a screech owl,
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 14: screeching aloud, puts the wretch that lies in woe in
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 14: remembrance of a shroud. Now it is the time of
