ACT V
SCENE I. Athens. On their way to the palace of THESEUS.
HIPPOLYTA
'Tis strange my Theseus, that these
lovers speak of.
THESEUS
Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,
The lunatic, the lover and the poet
Are of imagination all compact:
PHILOSTRATE
Here, mighty Theseus.
There is a brief how many sports are ripe:
Make choice of which your highness will see first.
Prologue(Peter Quince)
If we offend, it is with our good will.
To show our simple skill,
We are not here.
The actors are at hand.
Wall(Snout)
In this same interlude it doth befall
That I, one Snout by name, present a wall;
Through which the fearful lovers are to whisper.
DEMETRIUS, HERMIA, HELENA, LYSANDER
It is the wittiest partition that ever I heard
discourse, my lord.
Thisbe(Flute)
O wall, full often hast thou heard my moans,
For parting my fair Pyramus and me!
Pyramus
I see a voice: now will I to the chink,
To spy an I can hear my Thisby's face. Thisby!
Lion(Snug)
You, ladies, you, whose gentle hearts do fear
The smallest monstrous mouse that creeps on floor,
Then know that I, one Snug the joiner, am. (ROAR)
Moonshine(Starvling)
This lanthorn doth the horned moon present;--
This lanthorn doth the horned moon present;
Myself the man i' the moon do seem to be.
Lion
[Roaring]
Thisbe runs off
The Lion shakes Thisbe's mantle, and exit
Enter Pyramus
Stabs himself
Exit Moonshine
Dies
Thisbe
Stabs herself
Dies
PUCK(Company)
1 - If we shadows have offended,
2 - Think but this, and all is mended,
3 - That you have but slumber'd here
4 - While these visions did appear.
5 - And this weak and idle theme,
6 - No more yielding but a dream,
7 - Gentles, do not reprehend:
8 - If you pardon, we will mend:
9 - And, as I am an honest Puck,
10 - If we have unearned luck
11 - Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
12 -We will make amends ere long;
13 - Else the Puck a liar call;
14- So, good night unto you all.
15- Give me your hands, if we be friends,
16 - And Robin shall restore amends.
