Titania

Midsummer's Night Dream

How canst thou thus for shame, Titania

Read the Quote

Oberon
How canst thou thus for shame, Titania,
Glance at my credit with Hippolyta,
Knowing I know thy love to Theseus?
Didst not thou lead him through the glimmering night
From Perigouna,whom he ravishèd,
And make him with fair Aeglesbreak his faith,
With Ariadne and Antiopa?

And this same progeny of evils comes
From our debate,

Come, now a roundel and a fairy song

Read the Quote

Titania
Come, now a roundel and a fairy song;
Then, for the third part of a minute, hence—
Some to kill cankers in the muskrose buds,
Some war with reremice for their leathern wings
To make my small elves coats, and some keep back
The clamorous owl that nightly hoots and wonders
At our quaint spirits.

Welcome, good Robin. Seest thou this sweet sight?

Read the Quote

Oberon
Welcome, good Robin. Seest thou this sweet sight?
Her dotage now I do begin to pity.
For, meeting her of late behind the wood,
Seeking sweet favors for this hateful fool,
I did upbraid her and fall out with her.

My Oberon, what visions have I seen!
Methought I was enamored of an ass.

Will it please you to see the Epilogue

Read the Quote

Bottom
Will it please you to see the Epilogue or to hear
a Bergomask dance between two of our company?
Theseus
No epilogue, I pray you. For your play needs
no excuse. Never excuse. For when the players are
all dead, there need none to be blamed. Marry, if
he that writ it had played Pyramus and hanged
himself in Thisbe’s garter,
