0:00:25.219,0:00:26.479
'Tis strange my Theseus,

0:00:26.709,0:00:30.149
that these lovers speak of. More strange than true.

0:00:31.250,0:00:36.060
I never may believe these antique fables, nor these fairy toys.

0:00:37.080,0:00:37.709
Oh,

0:00:39.979,0:00:43.770
lovers and madmen have such seething brains,

0:00:43.779,0:00:48.409
such shaping fantasies that apprehend more than cool reason ever comprehends.

0:00:48.900,0:00:49.819
The lunatic,

0:00:50.189,0:00:52.200
the lover, and the poet

0:00:52.669,0:00:55.299
are of imagination all compact. One

0:00:55.439,0:00:59.680
sees more devils than vast hell can hold. That is the madman.

0:00:59.900,0:01:04.830
The lover all as frantic sees Helen’s beauty

0:01:04.940,0:01:06.389
in a brow of Egypt.

0:01:07.400,0:01:08.470
The poet’s eye

0:01:09.220,0:01:12.480
in the fine frenzy rolling death lands from heaven to earth,

0:01:12.489,0:01:16.559
from earth to heaven, and his imagination bodies forth the form of things unknown.

0:01:16.569,0:01:20.080
The poet's pen turns them to shapes and gives to

0:01:20.769,0:01:23.480
airy nothing. A local habitation and a name.

0:01:24.300,0:01:26.669
Such tricks have strong

0:01:26.870,0:01:30.279
imagination that if it would but apprehend some joy, it

0:01:30.540,0:01:33.690
comprehends some bringer of that joy

0:01:33.930,0:01:34.709
in the night

0:01:35.239,0:01:37.180
imagining some fear.

0:01:37.419,0:01:42.470
How easy is a bush supposed to bear! But all the story of the night

0:01:42.480,0:01:45.150
told over, and all their minds transfigured

0:01:45.160,0:01:47.440
so together more witnesses than fancies

0:01:47.449,0:01:50.290
images and grows to something of great constancy.

0:01:50.989,0:01:52.180
But howsoever

0:01:52.360,0:01:54.529
strange and admirable.

0:01:55.330,0:01:59.059
Here come the lovers full of joy and mirth.

0:02:00.000,0:02:02.230
Joy, gentle friends! Joy

0:02:02.239,0:02:06.300
and fresh days of love accompany your hearts. More than to us,

0:02:06.309,0:02:09.250
wait in your royal walks, your board, your bed.

0:02:10.119,0:02:11.389
Come now,

0:02:11.399,0:02:15.039
what masques, what dances shall we have to wear away this long age of three hours

0:02:15.050,0:02:17.220
between or after-supper and bed time?

0:02:17.660,0:02:19.729
Where is our usual manager of mirth?

0:02:21.110,0:02:26.600
What revels are in hand? Is there no play to ease the anguish of a torturing hour?

0:02:26.800,0:02:27.399
Call Philostrate.

0:02:27.990,0:02:28.050
Here, mighty Theseus.

0:02:29.050,0:02:32.910
Say, what abridgement have you for this evening?

0:02:32.919,0:02:38.119
What masque? What music? How shall we beguile the lazy time, if not with some delight?

0:02:38.630,0:02:41.000
There is a brief how many sports are ripe.

0:02:41.009,0:02:43.440
Make choice of which your highness will see first.

0:02:47.669,0:02:47.740
Ok.

0:02:49.490,0:02:51.110
“The battle with the Centaurs

0:02:51.410,0:02:52.399
to be sung by

0:02:52.500,0:02:53.029
an Athenian

0:02:53.250,0:02:54.259
eunuch to the harp.”

0:02:56.169,0:02:57.240
We'll none of that.

0:02:58.160,0:03:01.679
That have I told my love, in glory of my kinsman Hercules.

0:03:08.110,0:03:10.770
“The riot of the tipsy Bacchanals,

0:03:11.289,0:03:14.039
tearing the Thracian singer in their rage.”

0:03:14.330,0:03:19.600
That is an old device, and it was played when I from Thebes came last a conqueror.

0:03:27.369,0:03:32.550
“The thrice three Muses mourning for the death of Learning, late deceased in

0:03:32.800,0:03:33.139
beggary.”

0:03:33.460,0:03:39.740
That is some satire, keen and critical, not sorting with a natural ceremony.

0:03:45.779,0:03:50.539
“A tedious brief scene of young Pyramus and his love

0:03:50.789,0:03:53.380
Thisbe; very tragical mirth.”

0:03:54.360,0:03:56.330
Merry and tragical?

0:03:57.130,0:03:59.320
Tedious and brief?

0:03:59.669,0:04:04.050
That is, hot ice and wondrous strange snow.

0:04:05.289,0:04:09.139
How shall we find the concord of this discord?

0:04:12.339,0:04:17.670
A play there is, my lord, some ten words long, which is as brief as I have known a play.

0:04:17.940,0:04:21.670
But by ten words, my lord, it is too long, which makes it tedious.

0:04:21.869,0:04:25.470
For in all the play, there is not one word apt, one player fitted.

0:04:25.799,0:04:30.510
And tragical, my noble lord, it is, for Pyramus therein doth kill himself.

0:04:30.989,0:04:35.299
Which, when I saw rehearsed, I must confess, made mine eyes water;

0:04:35.570,0:04:40.089
but more merry tears, the passion of loud laughter never shed.

0:04:47.179,0:04:48.769
What are they that do play it?

0:04:49.679,0:04:52.119
Hard-handed men that work in Athens here,

0:04:52.220,0:04:54.440
which never laboured in their minds till now,

0:04:54.829,0:04:56.519
and now have toiled their unbreathed

0:04:56.529,0:04:59.359
memories with this same play, against your nuptial.

0:05:02.429,0:05:03.940
And we will hear it. No,

0:05:04.920,0:05:06.329
my noble lord,

0:05:06.839,0:05:08.160
it is not for you.

0:05:08.649,0:05:10.399
I have heard it over, and it is nothing,

0:05:10.700,0:05:12.049
nothing in the world,

0:05:12.190,0:05:14.850
unless you can find sport in their intents,

0:05:14.859,0:05:19.290
extremely stretched and conned with cruel pain to do you service.

0:05:19.299,0:05:21.200
I will hear that play;

0:05:22.609,0:05:27.079
for never anything can be amiss, when simpleness and duty tender it.

0:05:27.489,0:05:28.750
Go, bring them in

0:05:29.100,0:05:31.000
and take your places, ladies.

0:05:31.480,0:05:35.760
I love not to see wretchedness o'er charged and duty in his service perishing.

0:05:35.769,0:05:38.200
Why, gentle sweet, you shall see no such thing.

0:05:38.209,0:05:39.760
He says they can do nothing in this kind.

0:05:39.769,0:05:42.410
The kinder we, to give them thanks for nothing.

0:05:43.059,0:05:46.100
Our sport shall be to take what they mistake,

0:05:46.279,0:05:51.779
and what poor duty cannot do, noble respect takes it in might, not merit.

0:05:53.019,0:05:54.209
Where I have come,

0:05:54.220,0:05:56.369
great clerks have purposed to greet me

0:05:56.380,0:05:59.480
with premeditated welcomes, where I have seen them shiver

0:05:59.869,0:06:03.529
and look pale, make periods in the midst of sentences,

0:06:03.540,0:06:05.869
throttle their practised accent in their fears.

0:06:06.429,0:06:10.980
And in conclusion, dumbly have broke off not paying me a welcome.

0:06:12.010,0:06:13.290
Trust me, sweet,

0:06:13.510,0:06:16.489
out of this silence yet I picked a welcome,

0:06:16.500,0:06:18.450
and in the modesty of fearful duty,

0:06:18.459,0:06:22.369
I read as much as from the rattling tongue of saucy and audacious eloquence.

0:06:23.059,0:06:29.730
Love, therefore, and tongue-tied simplicity in least speak most, to my capacity.

0:06:31.470,0:06:31.779
Yeah.

0:06:32.769,0:06:34.049
So, please your grace,

0:06:34.410,0:06:35.779
the Prologue is addressed.

0:06:38.149,0:06:40.660
Let him approach.

0:06:59.649,0:07:02.600
If we offend, it is with our good will.

0:07:06.089,0:07:07.260
That you should think,

0:07:07.440,0:07:10.839
we come not to offend, but with goodwill.

0:07:12.970,0:07:16.709
To show our simple skill, that is the true beginning of our

0:07:16.820,0:07:17.399
end.

0:07:23.239,0:07:24.109
Consider then

0:07:24.369,0:07:26.549
we come but despite.

0:07:27.850,0:07:31.950
We do not come as minding to contest you. Our true intent is

0:07:32.940,0:07:33.309
all for

0:07:35.239,0:07:38.880
your delight. We are not here

0:07:41.540,0:07:45.600
that you should here repent you. The actors are at hand

0:07:46.190,0:07:49.290
and by their show, you shall know all that you are like to know.

0:07:49.450,0:07:52.329
This fellow do not stand upon points. He hath rid his prologue

0:07:53.489,0:07:55.809
like a rough colt. He knows not to stop.

0:07:56.250,0:07:57.579
A good moral, my Lord: it

0:07:57.769,0:08:00.980
is not enough to speak but to speak, but to true. Indeed,

0:08:00.989,0:08:04.149
he hath played on his prologue like a child on a recorder:

0:08:04.459,0:08:05.470
a sound,

0:08:05.850,0:08:07.100
but not in government.

0:08:07.339,0:08:13.320
His speech was like a tangled chain: nothing impaired but all disordered.

0:08:13.480,0:08:14.510
Who is next?

0:08:14.779,0:08:15.640
Gentles,

0:08:16.380,0:08:19.630
perchance you wonder at this show,

0:08:20.179,0:08:23.750
but wonder on, till truth make all things plain.

0:08:24.899,0:08:25.709
This man

0:08:26.190,0:08:27.119
is Pyramus,

0:08:27.829,0:08:28.859
if you would know;

0:08:29.440,0:08:32.280
beauteous lady Thisby

0:08:32.419,0:08:33.640
is certain.

0:08:34.780,0:08:39.859
This man, with lime and rough-cast, doth present wall,

0:08:40.659,0:08:45.729
that vile Wall which did these lovers sunder; and through Wall's chink,

0:08:46.130,0:08:49.109
poor souls, they are content to whisper.

0:08:49.640,0:08:51.559
At the which let no man wonder.

0:08:51.950,0:08:53.070
This man,

0:08:53.500,0:08:54.929
with lantern,

0:08:55.270,0:09:01.500
dog, and bush of thorn, presenteth moonshine; for, if you will know, by moonshine

0:09:01.510,0:09:04.419
did these lovers think no scorn to meet at

0:09:04.640,0:09:05.840
Ninus' tomb,

0:09:06.229,0:09:06.919
there

0:09:07.049,0:09:08.359
there to woo.

0:09:09.150,0:09:11.809
This grisly beast,

0:09:11.820,0:09:16.400
which Lion hight by name, the trusty Thisby, coming first by night, did

0:09:16.409,0:09:20.520
stare away, or rather did affright. And, as she fled, her mantle

0:09:20.530,0:09:24.520
she did fall, which lion vile with bloody mouth did stain.

0:09:24.820,0:09:29.969
Anon comes Pyramus, sweet youth and tall and finds his trusty

0:09:30.150,0:09:31.559
Thisby's mantle slain.

0:09:31.729,0:09:33.580
Whereat, with blade,

0:09:35.700,0:09:42.500
with bloody blameful blade, he bravely broached his boiling bloody breast.

0:09:44.450,0:09:44.570
And Thisby,

0:09:46.330,0:09:47.219
tarrying

0:09:47.530,0:09:48.880
in mulberry shade,

0:09:49.440,0:09:50.940
his dagger drew,

0:09:52.210,0:09:53.280
and died.

0:09:56.559,0:10:00.830
For all the rest, let lion, moonshine, wall,

0:10:01.429,0:10:05.419
and lovers twain at large discourse while here they do remain.

0:10:05.989,0:10:12.010
I wonder if the lion be to speak. No wonder my Lord. One lion may when many asses do.

0:10:35.719,0:10:36.169
Yeah.

0:10:37.549,0:10:38.619
In this

0:10:39.159,0:10:40.099
same

0:10:40.450,0:10:41.450
interlude,

0:10:41.919,0:10:43.320
it doth befall

0:10:43.880,0:10:45.159
that I,

0:10:45.619,0:10:46.280
one

0:10:51.440,0:10:52.229
Snout

0:10:54.309,0:10:54.960
by name

0:10:56.429,0:10:57.210
present.

0:10:58.030,0:10:58.479
a wall.

0:11:00.590,0:11:01.919
And such a wall,

0:11:02.150,0:11:04.320
as I would have you think,

0:11:04.760,0:11:05.789
that had in it

0:11:05.979,0:11:08.359
a crannied hole or chink,

0:11:13.760,0:11:14.729
through which

0:11:15.390,0:11:16.840
the fearful lovers,

0:11:18.880,0:11:19.729
Pyramus

0:11:20.369,0:11:20.719
and Thisby,

0:11:22.049,0:11:23.130
did whisper

0:11:23.710,0:11:26.130
often very secretly.

0:11:32.010,0:11:32.080
This loam,

0:11:33.729,0:11:38.989
this rough cast, and this stone

0:11:39.239,0:11:39.369
doth

0:11:39.650,0:11:41.260
show that

0:11:41.760,0:11:43.750
I am that same wall;

0:11:44.130,0:11:45.409
the truth is so.

0:11:46.659,0:11:47.530
And this

0:11:47.710,0:11:48.989
the cranny is,

0:11:49.520,0:11:50.229
right

0:11:50.820,0:11:52.179
and sinister,

0:11:52.820,0:11:53.950
through which

0:11:54.109,0:11:56.869
the fearful lovers are to whisper.

0:11:57.869,0:11:58.020
Would you

0:11:59.020,0:12:02.409
desire lime and hair to speak better?

0:12:02.419,0:12:06.409
It is the wittiest partition that ever I heard discourse. My Lord.

0:12:06.520,0:12:08.989
Pyramus draws near the wall. Silence!

0:12:13.299,0:12:15.030
O grim-looked night!

0:12:15.650,0:12:18.250
O night with hue so black!

0:12:18.799,0:12:21.739
O night, whichever art when day is not!

0:12:22.119,0:12:24.460
O night, O night!

0:12:24.669,0:12:24.789
Alack,

0:12:26.799,0:12:27.070
alack, alack,

0:12:27.700,0:12:28.520
I fear my Thisby's

0:12:28.659,0:12:30.669
promise is forgot!

0:12:31.039,0:12:31.729
And thou,

0:12:32.330,0:12:33.190
O wall,

0:12:33.409,0:12:38.960
O sweet,  O lovely wall, that stand'st between her father's ground and mine!

0:12:39.239,0:12:39.950
Thou wall, O wall,

0:12:40.609,0:12:41.489
O sweet

0:12:41.979,0:12:44.169
and lovely wall,

0:12:44.530,0:12:48.260
show me thy chink, to blink through with mine

0:12:48.369,0:12:48.380
eyne!

0:12:50.390,0:12:54.320
Thanks, courteous wall: Jove shield thee well for this!

0:12:58.719,0:13:00.250
But what see I? No

0:13:00.479,0:13:05.090
Thisby do I see. O wicked wall, through whom I see no bliss! Cursed be

0:13:05.099,0:13:06.909
thy stones for thus deceiving me!

0:13:07.750,0:13:10.289
The wall, methinks, being sensible, should curse again.

0:13:10.440,0:13:15.260
No, in truth, sir, he should not. 'Deceiving me' is Thisby's cue.

0:13:15.270,0:13:18.799
She is to enter now, and I am to spy her through the wall. You shall see,

0:13:18.809,0:13:20.260
it will fall pat as I told you.

0:13:20.690,0:13:21.400
Yonder she comes.

0:13:23.909,0:13:24.330
O wall,

0:13:30.969,0:13:32.080
full often hast

0:13:32.280,0:13:33.830
thou heard my moans,

0:13:33.989,0:13:35.979
for parting my fair Pyramus and me!

0:13:37.750,0:13:41.090
My cherry lips have often kissed

0:13:41.380,0:13:42.309
thy stones,

0:13:48.119,0:13:51.080
thy stones with lime and hair

0:13:51.190,0:13:52.390
knit up in thee.

0:13:53.719,0:13:59.510
I see a voice. Now will I to the chink, to spy an I can hear my Thisbe's face.

0:13:59.520,0:14:00.650
Thisbe!

0:14:03.090,0:14:03.390
My love

0:14:03.559,0:14:03.630
thou art,

0:14:05.869,0:14:06.080
my love

0:14:07.309,0:14:09.429
I think. Think what thou

0:14:10.229,0:14:10.809
wilt, I am

0:14:11.320,0:14:15.809
thy lover's grace, and, like, Lemander, am I trusty still.

0:14:16.039,0:14:16.109
And I

0:14:16.210,0:14:16.309
like Helen,

0:14:17.080,0:14:19.880
till the Fates me kill.

0:14:20.119,0:14:22.789
Not Shafalus to Procrus was so true.

0:14:30.000,0:14:30.239
As Shafalus to

0:14:32.599,0:14:33.619
Procrus, I to you.

0:14:34.570,0:14:38.049
O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall!

0:14:43.500,0:14:44.570
I kiss the wall's hole,

0:14:46.219,0:14:48.859
not your lips at all. Wilt thou at

0:14:49.119,0:14:51.760
Ninny's tomb meet me straightway?

0:14:52.090,0:14:53.070
'Tide life, 'tide death,

0:14:53.309,0:14:54.820
I come without delay.

0:14:59.890,0:15:00.440
Thus, have I,

0:15:02.979,0:15:06.619
Wall, my part dischargèd so

0:15:06.989,0:15:09.390
and, being done, thus Wall away

0:15:09.580,0:15:10.179
doth go.

0:15:14.809,0:15:19.739
Now is the mural down between the two neighbors. No remedy. My Lord.

0:15:19.750,0:15:22.539
when walls are so wilful to hear without warning.

0:15:22.549,0:15:27.340
This is the silliest stuff that ever I heard. The best

0:15:27.349,0:15:30.520
in this kind are but shadows, and the worst are no worse,

0:15:30.530,0:15:34.880
if imagination amend them. It must be your imagination then, and not theirs.

0:15:34.890,0:15:38.440
If we imagine no worse of them than they of themselves,

0:15:38.450,0:15:42.739
they may pass for excellent men. Here come two noble beasts in, a man

0:15:43.320,0:15:44.539
and a lion.

0:15:50.719,0:15:51.700
You, ladies,

0:15:51.710,0:15:56.679
you, whose gentle hearts do fear the smallest monstrous mouse that creeps on floor,

0:15:56.780,0:16:00.270
may now perchance both quake and tremble here, when

0:16:00.280,0:16:03.369
lion rough in wildest rage doth roar.

0:16:03.559,0:16:08.289
Then know that I, one Snug the joiner, am the lion-fell, nor else no lion's

0:16:08.299,0:16:15.090
dam; for, if I should as lion come in strife into this place, 'twere pity on my life.

0:16:19.210,0:16:19.520
Wrong.

0:16:21.419,0:16:26.969
Oh, a very gentle beast of a good conscience. The very best at a beast,

0:16:26.979,0:16:31.010
my lord, that e'er I saw. This lion is a very fox for his valour.

0:16:31.020,0:16:32.750
True, and a goose for his discretion.

0:16:32.760,0:16:35.479
Not so, my Lord, for his valor cannot carry his

0:16:35.489,0:16:38.549
discretion, and the fox carries the goose. His discretion,

0:16:38.559,0:16:42.489
I am sure, cannot carry his valor, for the goose carries not the fox.

0:16:42.500,0:16:46.789
It is well. Leave it to his discretion, and let us listen to

0:16:51.929,0:16:52.559
the moon.

0:16:54.409,0:16:54.820
Ok.

0:16:56.710,0:17:00.280
This lantern doth the hornèd moon present—

0:17:00.289,0:17:02.320
He should have worn the horns on his head.

0:17:02.479,0:17:04.979
He is no crescent, and his

0:17:05.089,0:17:08.319
horns are invisible within the circumference.

0:17:11.598,0:17:15.328
This lantern doth the hornèd moon present,

0:17:15.438,0:17:22.368
myself the man i' the moon do seem to be. This is the greatest error of all the rest:

0:17:22.378,0:17:25.398
the man should be put into the lantern.

0:17:25.499,0:17:30.298
How is it else the man i' the moon? He dares not come there for the candle; for, you

0:17:30.308,0:17:33.668
see, it is already in snuff. I am aweary of this moon.

0:17:34.300,0:17:35.949
Would he would change!

0:17:36.079,0:17:42.359
It appears, by his small light of discretion, that he is in the wane;

0:17:42.869,0:17:44.949
but yet, in courtesy, in all reason,

0:17:45.839,0:17:47.310
we must stay the time.

0:17:50.599,0:17:51.719
Proceed, moon.

0:17:56.420,0:17:56.989
All

0:17:57.729,0:17:58.979
that I have to say,

0:17:59.920,0:18:01.099
is, to tell you

0:18:01.530,0:18:05.650
that the lantern is the moon. I'm the man in the moon.

0:18:05.660,0:18:11.489
This thorn bush, my thorn bush, and this dog, my dog.

0:18:12.369,0:18:16.160
Why, all these should be in the lantern, for all these are in the moon.

0:18:17.660,0:18:19.609
But silence! Here comes Thisbe.

0:18:26.339,0:18:27.270
This is

0:18:27.430,0:18:27.439
old

0:18:32.400,0:18:34.810
Ninny's tomb.

0:18:35.479,0:18:36.849
Where is my love?

0:18:49.739,0:18:52.359
Well roared, Lion. Well run, Thisbe.

0:18:52.920,0:18:53.449
Well shone, Moon.

0:18:53.709,0:18:56.689
Truly, the moon shines with a good grace.

0:18:58.040,0:19:00.010
Well moused, Lion.

0:19:00.189,0:19:02.359
And so, the lion vanished.

0:19:02.680,0:19:04.560
And then came Pyramus.

0:19:06.880,0:19:08.109
Sweet Moon,

0:19:08.670,0:19:10.949
I thank thee for thy sunny beams.

0:19:11.300,0:19:13.589
I thank thee, Moon, for shining now

0:19:13.599,0:19:17.890
so bright; for, by thy gracious, golden, glittering gleams,

0:19:17.900,0:19:21.109
I trust to take of truest Thisby sight.

0:19:24.469,0:19:26.439
But stay, O spite!

0:19:26.640,0:19:30.869
But mark, poor knight, what dreadful dole is here!

0:19:31.479,0:19:32.359
Eyes,

0:19:32.540,0:19:33.589
do you see?

0:19:34.010,0:19:35.109
How can it be?

0:19:35.479,0:19:38.160
O dainty duck! O dear!

0:19:38.469,0:19:40.359
Thy mantle good, what,

0:19:40.589,0:19:42.319
stained with blood!

0:19:43.300,0:19:46.579
Approach, ye Furies fell!

0:19:47.109,0:19:51.280
O Fates, come, come, cut thread and thrum

0:19:51.560,0:19:52.969
quail, crush,

0:19:52.989,0:19:57.339
conclude, and quell! This passion, and the death of a

0:19:57.349,0:20:00.369
dear friend, would go near to make a man look sad.

0:20:00.619,0:20:02.329
Beshrew my heart, but I pity the man.

0:20:03.270,0:20:03.869
O wherefore,

0:20:04.329,0:20:05.109
Nature,

0:20:05.380,0:20:11.560
didst thou lions frame? Since lion vile hath here deflowered my dear:

0:20:11.569,0:20:12.359
which is—

0:20:13.239,0:20:13.609
no,

0:20:14.969,0:20:15.160
no—

0:20:15.760,0:20:22.550
which was the fairest dame that lived, that loved, that liked, that looked with cheer.

0:20:23.239,0:20:25.900
Come, tears, confound.

0:20:26.339,0:20:30.579
Out, sword, and wound the pap of Pyramus;

0:20:30.880,0:20:33.890
Ay, that left pap, where heart doth hop.

0:20:36.520,0:20:37.050
Oh,

0:20:38.640,0:20:41.199
thus die I,

0:20:42.800,0:20:42.839
thus,

0:20:43.089,0:20:43.349
thus,

0:20:44.890,0:20:44.930
thus.

0:20:48.239,0:20:49.390
Now am I dead.

0:20:51.020,0:20:51.449
Oh,

0:20:51.910,0:20:52.670
am I right?

0:20:54.209,0:20:55.959
My soul is in the sky.

0:20:57.170,0:20:57.430
Tongue,

0:20:58.219,0:20:59.479
lose that light.

0:21:00.510,0:21:01.160
Moon

0:21:01.989,0:21:03.219
take thy flight.

0:21:11.569,0:21:12.349
Oh!

0:21:13.500,0:21:19.229
Now die, die, die, die,

0:21:19.930,0:21:21.349
die.

0:21:22.589,0:21:22.900
Yeah. No die

0:21:25.880,0:21:30.489
but an ace, for him; for he is but one. Less than an ace, man, for he is dead;

0:21:30.500,0:21:32.910
he is nothing. With the help of a surgeon

0:21:32.920,0:21:37.719
he might yet recover and prove an ass. How chance Moonshine is gone before Thisbe

0:21:37.829,0:21:39.390
comes back and finds her lover?

0:21:47.859,0:21:50.550
She will find him by starlight.

0:21:51.280,0:21:54.609
Here she comes, and her passion ends the play.

0:21:55.229,0:21:58.530
Methinks she should not use a long one for such a Pyramus.

0:21:58.800,0:22:03.280
I hope she will be breif. A mote will turn the balance, which Pyramus, which Thisbe,

0:22:03.439,0:22:08.640
is the better; he for a man, God warrant us; she for a woman, God bless us.

0:22:08.650,0:22:14.569
She hath spied him already with those sweet eyes. And thus she means, videlicet—

0:22:18.099,0:22:19.790
Asleep, my love?

0:22:20.680,0:22:21.239
What, dead,

0:22:21.550,0:22:22.219
my dove?

0:22:23.589,0:22:26.619
O Pyramus, arise! Speak, speak.

0:22:29.949,0:22:30.979
Quite dumb?

0:22:33.569,0:22:34.180
Dead,

0:22:35.369,0:22:35.839
dead?

0:22:39.089,0:22:41.930
A tomb must cover thy sweet eyes.

0:22:42.619,0:22:47.000
These lily lips, this cherry nose, these yellow cowslip cheeks, are gone,

0:22:48.479,0:22:49.310
are gone.

0:22:51.219,0:22:52.780
Lovers, make moan.

0:22:55.189,0:22:57.400
His eyes were green as leeks.

0:23:00.689,0:23:03.800
O Sisters Three, come,

0:23:03.939,0:23:07.630
come to me with hands as pale as milk;

0:23:08.160,0:23:12.390
lay them in gore. Since you have shore with shears his thread of silk.

0:23:14.400,0:23:15.369
Tongue, not a word.

0:23:17.780,0:23:19.349
Come, trusty sword,

0:23:20.660,0:23:20.709
come, blade,

0:23:20.819,0:23:21.630
my breast imbrue.

0:23:26.170,0:23:27.459
And, farewell, friends,

0:23:28.140,0:23:30.180
thus Thisbe ends.

0:23:32.359,0:23:33.069
Adieu,

0:23:34.630,0:23:35.420
adieu,

0:23:37.869,0:23:38.829
adieu.

0:23:43.040,0:23:47.449
Moonshine and Lion are left to bury the dead.

0:23:47.859,0:23:48.619
Ay, and Wall

0:23:48.790,0:23:49.800
too. No

0:23:49.939,0:23:51.000
assure you;

0:23:53.030,0:23:55.260
the wall is down that parted their fathers.

0:23:55.400,0:23:56.660
Will it please you to

0:23:56.849,0:24:01.510
see the epilogue, or to hear a Bergamask dance between two of our company? No

0:24:01.699,0:24:02.630
epilogue.

0:24:02.869,0:24:03.819
I pray you;

0:24:04.619,0:24:06.030
for your play

0:24:06.189,0:24:07.949
needs no excuse.

0:24:08.150,0:24:09.709
Never excuse;

0:24:09.890,0:24:12.800
for when the players are all dead,

0:24:13.219,0:24:14.780
there needs none to be blamed.

0:24:15.680,0:24:19.810
Marry, if he that writ it had played Pyramus and hanged himself in Thisbe's garter,

0:24:20.410,0:24:22.189
it would have been a fine tragedy.

0:24:22.319,0:24:24.400
And so it is,

0:24:25.800,0:24:26.530
truly,

0:24:27.349,0:24:27.670
you did,

0:24:28.910,0:24:35.339
very notably discharged. But come, your Bergamask.

0:24:42.150,0:24:42.180
Let

0:25:18.239,0:25:18.969
your

0:25:20.640,0:25:21.530
epilogue

0:25:36.430,0:25:36.739
alone.

0:25:44.300,0:25:50.550
The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve.

0:25:51.020,0:25:54.420
Lovers, to bed; 'tis almost fairy time.

0:25:54.930,0:26:01.130
I fear we shall out-sleep the coming morn as much as we this night have overwatched.

0:26:02.160,0:26:02.849
This

0:26:03.619,0:26:05.810
palpable-gross play hath

0:26:05.969,0:26:06.069
well beguiled

0:26:06.359,0:26:09.380
the heavy gait of night. Sweet friends,

0:26:09.810,0:26:10.510
to bed.

0:26:12.630,0:26:15.130
A fortnight hold we this solemnity,

0:26:15.550,0:26:17.410
in nightly revels and new

0:26:17.790,0:26:18.089
jollity.

0:26:44.920,0:26:48.630
Now the hungry lion roars and the wolf

0:26:48.750,0:26:52.510
behowls the moon, whilst the heavy ploughman snores,

0:26:53.449,0:26:55.400
all with weary task fordone.

0:26:56.500,0:26:57.229
Now the wasted

0:26:57.939,0:27:02.800
brands do glow, whilst the screech-owl, screeching loud, puts

0:27:02.810,0:27:05.910
the wretch that lies in woe in remembrance of a shroud.

0:27:07.550,0:27:08.300
Now

0:27:08.790,0:27:14.319
it is the time of night that the graves all gaping wide, everyone lets forth

0:27:14.329,0:27:16.619
his sprite. In the church-way paths to glide,

0:27:17.050,0:27:18.420
and we fairies,

0:27:18.589,0:27:22.540
that do run by the triple Hecate's team, from the presence of the sun,

0:27:24.219,0:27:26.349
following darkness like a dream,

0:27:26.910,0:27:27.829
now are frolic.

0:27:32.500,0:27:35.939
Not a mouse shall disturb this hallowed house.

0:27:37.869,0:27:41.020
I'm sent with broom before to sweep the dust behind the door.

0:27:43.510,0:27:45.479
Through the house give gathering light.

0:27:46.050,0:27:47.969
By the dead and drowsy fire:

0:27:47.979,0:27:52.770
every elf and fairy sprite hop as light as bird from brier,

0:27:52.989,0:27:53.630
and this ditty,

0:27:53.910,0:27:55.089
after me, sing,

0:27:55.420,0:27:57.920
and dance it trippingly.

0:28:01.750,0:28:07.369
First, rehearse your song by rote to each word a warbling note.

0:28:07.790,0:28:13.739
Hand in hand, with fairy grace, will we sing, and bless this place.

0:28:24.260,0:28:24.569
Yeah.

0:28:25.839,0:28:25.869
Yeah.

0:28:27.099,0:28:27.430
True.

0:28:33.290,0:28:33.459
Yeah.

0:29:05.910,0:29:10.180
Now until the break of day, through this house each fairy stray.

0:29:10.739,0:29:15.380
To the best bride-bed will we, which by us shall blessèd be,

0:29:15.680,0:29:18.920
and the issue there createever shall be fortunate.

0:29:19.989,0:29:23.640
So, shall all the couples three ever true in loving be,

0:29:23.890,0:29:27.390
and the blots of Nature's hand shall not in their issue stand.

0:29:27.890,0:29:30.729
Never mole, hare lip, nor scar,

0:29:30.739,0:29:35.479
nor mark prodigious, such as are despisèd in nativity, shall upon their children be.

0:29:37.930,0:29:39.640
With this field-dew consecrate,

0:29:41.140,0:29:43.729
every fairy take his gait;

0:29:46.300,0:29:50.969
and each several chamber bless, through this palace, with sweet peace;

0:29:50.979,0:29:53.510
and the owner of it blessed ever shall in

0:29:53.520,0:29:54.099
safety rest.

0:29:55.630,0:29:57.079
Trip away, make no stay,

0:30:00.010,0:30:01.920
meet me all by break of day.

0:30:11.280,0:30:12.969
If we shadows have offended,

0:30:13.239,0:30:15.250
think but this, and all is mended,

0:30:15.530,0:30:18.969
that you have but slumbered here while these visions did appear.

0:30:19.339,0:30:24.949
And this weak and idle theme, no more yielding but a dream, gentles, do not reprehend:

0:30:25.439,0:30:27.369
if you pardon, we will mend.

0:30:27.859,0:30:28.489
And,

0:30:28.770,0:30:31.050
as I am an honest Puck,

0:30:31.199,0:30:34.209
if we have unearnèd luck now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,

0:30:34.530,0:30:36.250
we will make amends ere long,

0:30:36.420,0:30:38.430
else the Puck a liar call.

0:30:40.069,0:30:40.680
So,

0:30:42.609,0:30:44.229
good night unto you all.

0:30:44.550,0:30:45.780
Give me your hands,

0:30:46.609,0:30:47.910
if we be friends,

0:30:48.500,0:30:50.579
and Robin shall restore amends.
