WEBVTT

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:13.000
[sil.]

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.999
A course of true love never did run smooth.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.000
Yeah. No kidding.

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.999
Hippolyta, I wooed thee with my sword,
and won thy love, doing thee injuries,

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.999
But I will wed thee in another key, With
pomp, with triumph and with revelling.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.999
Oh, yeah. And this gonna
be a sworn marriage

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.999
and Hippolyta used to be
Queen of the Amazons,

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.999
then Duke Theseus stormed in with his
men, killed everyone he could find,

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.999
took her prisoner and now she has to
marry him. But before the wedding

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.999
there are some other troubled
lovers whom Theseus must attend to.

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.999
Now this is Hermia both
Lysander and Demetrius

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.999
are in love with her clearly.

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.999
She loves Lysander. But Hermia’s father
has decided that it is Demetrius

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.999
that she should marry and has asked
Duke Theseus to enforce his will.

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.999
[sil.]

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.999
What say you, Hermia? be advised fair maid,

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.999
To you your father should be as a
god, Demetrius is a worthy gentleman.

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.999
So is Lysander. In himself he is, but in
this kind, wanting your father’s voice,

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.999
the other must be held the worthier.

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.999
I would my father looked but with my eyes.
Rather your eyes must with his judgment look.

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.999
I know not by what power I am made bold,

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.999
But I beseech your grace
that I may know The worst

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.999
that may befall me in this case,
If I refuse to wed Demetrius.

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.999
Either to die the death or to
abjure, forever the society of men,

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.999
Therefore, fair Hermia,
question your desires.

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.999
Whether, if you yield not to your father’s choice, you can endure the livery of a
nun, for aye to be in shady cloister mewed, to live a barren sister all your life,

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:53.000
[sil.]

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.999
Relent, sweet Hermia and, Lysander, yield,
thy crazed title to my certain right.

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.999
You have her father’s love, Demetrius.

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:09.999
Let me have Hermia’s do you marry him.

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.999
[sil.]

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.999
Theseus gives Hermia three choices,
marry the guy who doesn’t love,

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.999
become a nun or be put to death.

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.999
Lysander tells Hermia, they should
just run away and get married

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.999
where the laws of Athens can’t
touch them, Hermia agrees

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.999
and they planned to rendezvous that night in
the woods. Lysander and Hermia tell their plan

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.999
to her friend Helena. Now
Helena labs Demetrius,

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.999
he doesn’t love her. Well, he used to,

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.999
but that was before he felt for Hermia.

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.999
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind,

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.999
nor hath Love’s mind of
any judgement taste,

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.999
wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste and
therefore is Love said to be a child,

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.999
because in choice he is so oft beguiled.

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.999
For ere Demetrius looked on
Hermia’s eyne, he hailed down oaths

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.999
that he was only mine, I will go tell him

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.999
of fair Hermia’s flight,

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.999
then to the wood will he
to-morrow night, pursue her,

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.999
and for this intelligence. If I
have thanks, it is a dear expense

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.999
But the lovers won’t be the only once

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.999
heading for the woods

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.999
Is all our company here?
Is all our company here?

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.999
You were best to call them generally,
man by man, according to the scrip.

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.999
Here is the scroll of every man’s name,

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.999
which is thought fit, through all Athens,
to play in our interlude before the duke

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.999
and the duchess, on his
wedding-day at night.

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.999
First, good Peter Quince, say
what the play treats on… Yeah…

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.999
Then read the names of the
actors, and so grow to a point.

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.999
Our play is, The most lamentable comedy,

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.999
and most cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe…

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.999
Very good piece of work, I
assure you, and a merry.

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.999
Now, good Peter Quince, call
forth your actors by the scroll.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.999
Well, You, Nick Bottom,

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.999
are set down for Pyramus.

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.999
What is Pyramus? A lover, or a tyrant?

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.999
A lover, that kills himself
most gallant for love.

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.999
That will ask some tears in the
true performing of it, if I do it,

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.999
let the audience look to their
eyes, I will move storms,

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.999
to the rest, yet my chief
humor is for a tyrant,

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.999
I could play Ercles rarely.

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.999
Flute, you must take Thisbe on you.

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.999
What is Thisbe? A wandering knight?
It is the lady

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.999
that Pyramus must love. Nay,
faith, let me not play a woman.

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.999
Let me play Thisbe too, I’ll speak
in a monstrous little voice.

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.999
No, no, you must play Pyramus,
and, Flute, you Thisbe.

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.999
Well, proceed.

00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.999
Snug, the joiner, you, the lion’s part.

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.999
Have you the lion’s part written?

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.999
Pray you, if it be, give it
me, for I am slow of study.

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.999
You may do it extempore, for it
is nothing but roaring. Roaring…

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.999
Let me play the lion too

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.999
I will roar, that I will do any
man’s heart good to hear me,

00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.999
I will roar, that I will make the duke say
‘Let him roar again, let him roar again.’

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.999
An you should do it too terribly, you
would fright the duchess and the ladies,

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.999
that they would shriek, and that
were enough to hang us all.

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.999
That would hang us, every mother’s son.
Every mother’s son.

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.999
But I will aggravate my voice, so that I
will roar you as gently as any sucking dove,

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.999
I will roar you an ‘twere any nightingale.

00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.999
[sil.]

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.999
You can play no part but Pyramus.

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.999
But Bottom will play another part,

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.999
because as the tradesmen go
off to rehearse in the words,

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.999
they won’t be alone.

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:28.000
[music]

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.999
At night, the woods belong to us,

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.999
at night the words are fairy land.
So watch your step.

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.999
I am to Titania, Queen of the fairies.

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:04.999
I have a husband over on
king of the fairies. Lately,

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.999
we’ve had a little disagreement.

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.999
I’ll met by moonlight, proud Titania.

00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.999
What,

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.999
jealous Oberon! Fairies, skip hence.

00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.999
I have forsworn his bed and company.

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.999
Tarry, rash wanton, am not I thy lord?

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.999
Why should Titania cross her Oberon? I do but
beg a little changeling boy, to be my henchman.

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.999
Set your heart at rest,

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.999
The fairy land buys not the child of me.
How long within this wood intend you stay?

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.999
Perchance till after Theseus wedding-day.

00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.999
If you will patiently dance in our round

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.999
and see our moonlight revels, go with us.

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.999
Give me that boy, and I will go with thee.

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.999
Not for thy fairy kingdom.

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.999
Fairies away. We shall chide downright,

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.999
if I longer stay.

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.999
Go thy way,

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.999
thou shalt not from this wood till
I torment thee for this injury.

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.999
My gentle Puck, come hither.

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.999
[music]

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.999
Fetch me that flower. The
herb I shewed thee once.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.999
Before milk-white, now
purple with love’s wound,

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.999
and maidens call it, love-in-idleness.

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.999
The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid, will make or man or
woman madly dote, upon the next live creature that it sees.

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.999
I go, I go, look how I
go, swifter than arrow

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.999
from the Tartar’s bow.

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:19.999
Having once this juice, I’ll watch Titania when she
is asleep, And drop the liquor of it in her eyes.

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.999
The next thing then she waking
looks upon, Be it on lion,

00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.999
bear, or wolf, or bull.

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.999
She shall pursue it with the soul of love.

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:43.000
[sil.]

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.999
I love thee not, therefore pursue me not.
Where is Lysander and fair Hermia?

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:04.999
The one I’ll slay,

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.999
the other slayeth me.

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:14.999
Thou told’st me they were
stolen unto this wood.

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:19.999
Hence, get thee gone, and
follow me no more. You draw me,

00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.999
you hard-hearted adamant. Do I entice you?

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:29.999
Do I speak you fair? Or, rather, do
I not in plainest truth tell you,

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.999
I do not, nor I cannot love you?

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.999
And even for that do I love you the more.

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.999
The more you beat me, I will fawn on you.
Neglect me, strike me only give me leave,

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.999
unworthy as I am, to follow you.

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.999
You do impeach your modesty too much,

00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:59.999
to leave the city and commit yourself
into the hands of one that loves you not,

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.999
to trust the opportunity of night

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.999
with the rich worth of your virginity.

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:18.000
[music]

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.999
Fare thee well, nymph, ere he do
leave this grove, Thou shalt fly him

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.999
and he shall seek thy love.
Hast thou the flower there?

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.999
Ay, there it is. Take thou some of it,

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.999
and seek through this grove.
A sweet Athenian lady

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:44.999
is in love with a disdainful
youth, anoint his eyes.

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:49.999
But do it when the next thing he espies may be the lady,
thou shalt know the man by the Athenian garments he hath on,

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.999
and look thou meet me ere
the first cock crow.

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:59.999
Fear not, my lord, your
servant shall do so.

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:04.999
[music]

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.999
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.999
where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.999
there sleeps Titania sometime of the night,

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.999
lulled in these flowers
with dances and delight,

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:29.999
and there the snake throws
her enamelled skin,

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.999
weed wide enough to wrap a fairy,

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.999
and with the juice of this I’ll streak her
eyes, and make her full of hateful fantasies.

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:48.000
[music]

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.999
What thou seest when thou dost wake.

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:59.999
Do it for thy true-love take,
when thou wakest, it is thy dear.

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.999
Wake when some vile thing is near.

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.999
[music]

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:14.999
Meanwhile, the tradesmen have found the
perfect spot in the woods to rehearse.

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.999
But hark, a voice! stay
thou but here awhile,

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.999
and by, by I will to thee appear.

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.999
Puck decides to play a
little trick on Mr. Buttom.

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.999
Oh. If I were fair, Thisbe,

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.999
I were only thine.

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:44.999
Why do they run away?

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.999
This is to make an ass of me,

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.999
to fright me,

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.999
if they could.

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.999
But I will not stir from this place,
or I will walk up and down here,

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:09.999
and I will sing, that they shall hear.

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:14.999
I am not afraid.\"

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.999
The ousel cock so black of
hue, with orange-tawny bill,

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:24.999
the throstle with his note so true,

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.999
the wren with little quill…

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.999
What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.999
The finch, the sparrow and the lark,

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.999
the plain-song cuckoo gray,

00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.999
whose note full many a man doth mark,

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.999
and dares not answer nay.

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.999
I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again.

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.999
Mine ear is much enamoured of thy note,

00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.999
so is mine eye enthralled to thy shape,

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.999
and thy fair virtue’s force perforce
doth move me on the first view to say,

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.999
to swear,

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.999
I love thee. Methinks, mistress,

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.999
you should have little reason for
that, and yet, to say the truth,

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.999
reason and love keep
little company together

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:39.999
now-a-days, the more the pity that some
honest neighbor’s will not make them friends.

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.999
Thou art as wise as thou art beautiful.

00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.999
Not so, neither. therefore, go with me.

00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.999
Uh.

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.999
I’ll give thee fairies to attend on thee, and
they shall fetch thee jewels from the deep,

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.999
and sing while thou on pressed
flowers dost sleep. Oh.

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.999
[music]

00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.999
Be kind and courteous to this gentleman,

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.999
feed him with apricocks and dewberries

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.999
with purple grapes, green
figs, and mulberries

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.999
and pluck the wings from
Painted butterflies.

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.999
To fan the moonbeams from
his sleeping eyes, come,

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:39.999
wait upon him, lead him to my bower.

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:48.000
[music]

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:59.999
You faint with wandering in
the wood and to speak troth,

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.999
I have forgot our way.

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:09.999
We’ll rest us, Hermia, if you think it good,
and tarry for the comfort of the day.

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.999
Be it so, Lysander

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.999
find you out a bed.

00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.999
For I upon this bank will rest my head.

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:29.999
[sil.]

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.999
One turf shall serve as pillow for us both.

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:39.999
One heart, one bed, two bosoms

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.999
and one troth.

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:49.999
Nay, good Lysander, for my sake, my dear.

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.999
Lie further off yet, do not lie so near.

00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.999
Oh, take the sense, sweet, of my innocence.
Love takes the meaning in love’s conference.

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.999
I mean, that my heart unto yours is knit.

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:09.999
So that but one heart we can make of it.
By your side no bed-room me deny,

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.999
for lying so, Hermia, I do not lie.

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.999
Lysander riddles very prettily,

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.999
But,

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.999
gentle friend, for love and courtesy.

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.999
Lie further off, in human modesty, s

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:39.999
o far be distant.

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:48.000
[sil.]

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.999
And, good night, sweet friend. Thy love
ne’er alter till thy sweet life end.

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.999
[music]

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:09.999
Here is my bed,

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.999
sleep give thee all his rest.

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.999
With half that wish the
wisher’s eyes be pressed.

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:28.000
[music]

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.999
Through the forest have I gone.
But Athenian found I none,

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.999
on whose eyes I might approve this
flower’s force in stirring love,

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:54.999
night and silence.

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.999
Who is here? Weeds of Athens that he wear,

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.999
this is he, my master said,
despised the Athenian maid,

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:09.999
and here the maiden,

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.999
sleeping sound, on the
dank and dirty ground.

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.999
Pretty soul, she durst not lie

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:24.999
near this lack-love, this kill-courtesy.

00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:29.999
So awake when I am gone

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.999
for I must now to Oberon.

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:39.999
[music]

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.999
[sil.]

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:49.999
Oh, I am out of breath in this fond chase.

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:54.999
The more my prayer, the lesser is my grace.

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.999
No, no, I am as ugly as a bear,

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.999
for beasts that meet me run away for fear.

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:09.999
Therefore no marvel though Demetrius.
Do, as a monster fly my presence thus.

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.999
But who is here?

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.999
Lysander, on the ground,

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:24.999
dead or asleep?

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:29.999
I see no blood, no wound.

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:34.999
Lysander if you live, good sir, awake.

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:39.999
[sil.]

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:44.999
And run through fire,

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.999
I will for thy sweet sake.

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:54.999
Transparent Helena, nature shows art

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:59.999
that through thy bosom
makes me see thy heart,

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.999
and, all my powers, address
thy love and might.

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.999
To honor Helena and to be her knight.

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:18.000
[music]

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:24.999
Help me, Lysander, help me.

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:29.999
Do thy best to pluck this
crawling serpent from my breast.

00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.999
Ay me, for pity.

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:39.999
What a dream was here. Oh Lysander,

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.999
look how I do quake with fear.

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.999
Me thought a serpent ate my
heart away, and you sat smiling

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:54.999
at his cruel pray. Lysander,

00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.999
what, he moved?

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.999
Gone? No sound,

00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:09.999
no word?

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.999
Alack, where are you? Oberon
is not thrilled to discover

00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.999
that Puck has squirted the
love juice in the wrong eyes.

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:24.999
He has told Puck to go and find Helena and
bring her to were Demetrius is sleeping.

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:33.000
[music]

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:39.999
Flower of this purple dye,
hit with Cupid’s archery,

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.999
sink in apple of his eye.
When his love he doth espy,

00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.999
let her shine as gloriously,
as the Venus of the sky.

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.999
Captain of our fairy band,
Helena is here at hand,

00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.999
and the youth, mistook by me,
pleading for a lover’s fee.

00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:04.999
Shall we their fond pageant see? Lord,

00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:09.999
what fools these mortals be. Stand aside

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.999
the noise they make will cause Demetrius to awake.
Why should you think that I should woo in scorn?

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:19.999
Scorn and derision never
come in tears. Look,

00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:24.999
when I vow, I weep, and vows so born,

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:29.999
in their nativity all truth appears.

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:34.999
You do advance your cunning more and more.

00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:39.999
These vows are Hermia’s, will you give her
o’er? I had no judgment when to her I swore.

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.999
Then be content. Content with Hermia!

00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:49.999
No, I do repent. The tedious
minutes I with her have spent.

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:54.999
Demetrius loves her, and he loves not you.

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:59.999
Oh, Helena,

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.999
goddess, nymph,

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:09.999
perfect, divine. To what, my love,

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:14.999
shall I compare thine eyne?
Crystal is muddy.

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:19.999
Oh, how ripe in show, thy
lips, those kissing cherries,

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:24.999
tempting grow

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:29.999
Oh, spite. Oh, hell,

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.999
I see you all are bent to set
against me for your merriment.

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:39.999
Can you not hate me, as I know you do, but
you must join in souls to mock me too?

00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:44.999
You are unkind, Demetrius, be not so,

00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.999
for you love Hermia, this you know I know, and
here, with all good will, with all my heart, in

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:54.999
Hermia’s love I yield you up my part.

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:59.999
Lysander, keep thy Hermia, I will none. If
e’er I loved her, all that love is gone.

00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:04.999
My heart to her but as guest-wise sojourned,
and now to Helena’s home returned.

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:09.999
Thou art not by mine eye,
Lysander, found. Mine ear,

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.999
I thank it, brought me to thy sound. But
why unkindly didst thou leave me so?

00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:19.999
Why should he stay, whom
love doth press to go?

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:24.999
What love could press
Lysander from my side?

00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:29.999
Lysander’s love, that
would not let him bide,

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.999
Why seek’st thou me? could not this make thee
know, the hate I bear thee made me leave thee so?

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:39.999
You speak not as you think, it cannot be.
Lo, she is one of this confederacy,

00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:44.999
now I perceive they have conjoined all
three to fashion this false sport,

00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:49.999
in spite of me. Oh, injurious Hermia,

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:54.999
most ungrateful maid. Is all the
counsel that we two have shared.

00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:59.999
The sisters’ vows, is all forgot?

00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:04.999
And will you rent our ancient love asunder,

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:09.999
to join with men in
scorning your poor friend?

00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:14.999
Make mouths upon me when I turn
my back, wink each at other,

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:19.999
hold the sweet jest up. But fare ye well,

00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:24.999
’tis partly my own fault. Which death

00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:29.999
or absence soon shall remedy.
My love, my life my soul,

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:34.999
fair Helena. Oh, excellent.

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:39.999
Sweet, do not scorn her so. Helen,
I love thee, by my life, I do.

00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:44.999
I say I love thee more than he can do. If
thou say so, withdraw, and prove it too.

00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:49.999
Hang off, thou cat, thou
burr, vile thing, let loose.

00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:54.999
Why are you grown so rude?

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:59.999
What change is this? Sweet love.
Thy love. Oh, hated potion,

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.999
hence Demetrius, I will keep my word
with thee. A weak bond holds you,

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:09.999
I’ll not trust your word. What, should
I hurt her, strike her, kill her dead?

00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:14.999
Although I hate her, I’ll not harm her so.

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:19.999
What, can you do me greater harm than hate?

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:24.999
Am not I Hermia? Are not you Lysander?

00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.999
Since night you loved me, yet
since night you left me.

00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:34.999
Why, then you left me? Oh, the gods forbid.
In earnest, shall I say?

00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:39.999
Ay, by my life, and never did
desire to see thee more.

00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.999
Therefore be out of hope,
of question, of doubt.

00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.999
Be certain, nothing truer, ‘tis no jest
that I do hate thee and love Helena.

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:54.999
You juggler,

00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:59.999
you canker-blossom, you thief of love.

00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:04.999
What, have you come by night and
stolen my love’s heart from him?

00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:09.999
Oh, fine, i’faith. Have you
no modesty, no maiden shame.

00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:14.999
Fie, fie, you counterfeit, you puppet, you…

00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:19.999
Puppet? Why so?

00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:24.999
Ay, that way goes the game.

00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:29.999
Now I perceive that she hath made
compare between our statures,

00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.999
she hath urged her height,
and with her personage,

00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:39.999
her tall personage, her height, forsooth,

00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:44.999
she hath prevailed with him, and are
you grown so high in his esteem,

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.999
because I am so dwarfish and so low?
How low am I,

00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:54.999
thou painted maypole? Speak,

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:59.999
how low am I? I am not yet so low, but
that my nails can reach unto thine eyes.

00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:04.999
I pray you, though you mock me, gentlemen.

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:09.999
Let her not hurt me you perhaps may think,

00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:14.999
because she is something lower
than myself, that I can match her.

00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:19.999
Lower. Hark, again. Oh, when she’s
angry, she is keen and shrewd.

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:24.999
She was a vixen when she went to
school, and though she be but little,

00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.999
she is fierce. Little
again, nothing but ‘low’

00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:34.999
and ‘little.’ Why will you suffer her
to flout me thus? Let me come to her.

00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:39.999
Get you gone, you dwarf,

00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:44.999
you minimus, of hindering knot-grass made,

00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:49.999
you bead, you acorn.

00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:54.999
Oberon orders Puck

00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:59.999
to spread fog throughout the wood.
So that Lysander and Demetrius

00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:04.999
now trying to kill each other,

00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:09.999
won’t be even be able to find each other.

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:14.999
Lost in the fog all the lovers

00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.999
eventually fall asleep.

00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:24.999
Now crush this herb into Lysander’s eye.

00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:29.999
Whose liquor hath this virtuous property

00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.999
to take from thence all error with his might,
and make his eyeballs roll with wonted sight.

00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:39.999
When they next wake, all this derision

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:44.999
will seem a dream

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:49.999
and fruitless vision.

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.999
When thou wakest, thou takest true delight

00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:59.999
in the sight of thy former lady’s eye.

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:04.999
Jack shall have Jill, not shall go ill.

00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:09.999
The man shall have his mare
again, and all shall be well.

00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.999
[sil.]

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:19.999
Come, sit thee down upon this flowery bed.

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:24.999
While I thy amiable cheeks do coy,

00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:29.999
and stick musk-roses

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.999
in thy sleek smooth head,

00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:39.999
and kiss thy fair large
ears, my gentle joy.

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.999
Where’s Pease blossom?

00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.999
Where’s Cobweb? Monsieur Cobweb,

00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:54.999
get you your weapons in your hand,

00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:59.999
and kill me a red-hipped humble-bee on the top of a
thistle, and, good monsieur, bring me the honey-bag.

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.999
I have a venturous fairy

00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:09.999
that shall seek, the squirrel’s hoard,

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:14.999
and fetch thee new nuts.

00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:19.999
I had rather have a handful
or two of dried peas.

00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:24.999
But, I pray you, let none
of your people stir me.

00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:29.999
I have an exposition of sleep
come upon me. Sleep thou,

00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.999
and I will wind thee in my arms.

00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:39.999
Fairies begone,

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:44.999
and be always away.

00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:49.999
Exeunt fairies,

00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:54.999
so doth the woodbine the sweet
honeysuckle gently entwist;

00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:59.999
the female ivy,

00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:04.999
so enrings the barky fingers of the elm.

00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:09.999
Oh, how I love thee,

00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:14.999
how I dote on thee.

00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:19.999
[music]

00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:24.999
See’st thou this sweet sight? Her
dotage now I do begin to pity.

00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:29.999
I will undo this hateful
imperfection of her eyes.

00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:38.000
[music]

00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:49.999
Be as thou wast wont to be,
see as thou wast wont to see.

00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:54.999
Dian’s bud o’er Cupid’s
flower hath such force

00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:59.999
and blessed power.

00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:04.999
Now, my Titania; wake you,

00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:09.999
my sweet queen.

00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:14.999
My Oberon.

00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:19.999
What visions have I seen?

00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:24.999
Me thought I was enamored of an ass.

00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:29.999
There lies your love.

00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.999
How came these things to pass? Oh, how
mine eyes do loathe his visage now.

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:39.999
Silence awhile. Robin, take off this head.

00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:44.999
Titania, music call;

00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:49.999
and strike more dead than common
sleep of all these five the sense.

00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:54.999
Music, ho, music, such as char meth sleep.

00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:59.999
[music]

00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:04.999
Now, when thou wakest,

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:09.999
with thine own fool’s eyes peep.

00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:18.000
[music]

00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:49.999
What nymphs are these?

00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:54.999
No doubt they rose up early
to observe the rite of May,

00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:59.999
and hearing our intent, came
here in grace our solemnity.

00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.999
[music]

00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:09.999
Good morrow, friends.
Saint Valentine is past.

00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:14.999
Begin these wood-birds but to couple now?

00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:19.999
Pardon, my lord. I pray you all, stand up.

00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:24.999
I know you two are rival enemies.

00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:29.999
How comes this gentle concord in the world,

00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:34.999
that hatred is so far from jealousy.
To sleep by hate, and fear no enmity?

00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:39.999
My lord, I shall reply amazedly,

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:44.999
half sleep, half waking
but as yet, I swear,

00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:49.999
I cannot truly say how I came here.

00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:54.999
But eventually it comes to end.
Lysander admits he ran off with Hermia.

00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:59.999
When Hermia’s father hears
this he is furious,

00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.999
still wanting Hermia to marry
Demetrius, Demetrius now loves Helena.

00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:09.999
He still has a flower spell on him. He’s
the only one who didn’t get the antidote.

00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:14.999
Hope this love lasts. Theseus overrides
the wishes of Hermia’s father

00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:19.999
since no one is fighting
over anyone anymore.

00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:24.999
Why not let those who
love each other marry.

00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:29.999
Away with us to Athens, three and three,
we’ll hold a feast in great solemnity.

00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:38.000
[music]

00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:44.999
Come Hippolyta.

00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:53.000
[music]

00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:59.999
Me thinks I see these
things with parted eye,

00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:04.999
when every thing seems double. So methinks,

00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:09.999
and I have found Demetrius like a jewel,

00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:14.999
mine own, and not mine own.

00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:19.999
Are you sure that we are awake?

00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:24.999
Perhaps here we sleep, we dream.
Was not the Duke here,

00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:29.999
bid us follow him? And Hippolyta.

00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:34.999
Why, then, we are awake.

00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:39.999
[sil.]

00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:44.999
Lets follow him.

00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:49.999
And by the way let us recount our dreams.

00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.999
Heigh-ho,

00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:59.999
Peter Quince, Flute,

00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:04.999
Snout. God’s my life,

00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:09.999
stolen hence, and left me asleep.

00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:14.999
I have had a most rare vision.

00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.999
I have had a dream, past the wit of man

00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:24.999
to say what dream it was

00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:29.999
man is but an ass, if he go
about to expound this dream.

00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:34.999
Methought I was, there
is no man can tell what.

00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:39.999
Methought I was, and methought I had,.

00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:44.999
[sil.]

00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:49.999
but man is but a patched
fool, if he will offer

00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:54.999
to say what methought I had.

00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:59.999
The eye of man hath not heard,
the ear of man hath not seen,

00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:04.999
man’s hand is not able to
taste, his tongue to conceive,

00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:09.999
nor his heart to report,

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:14.999
what my dream was.

00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.999
After the triple wedding, the tradesmen
get to perform their Pyramus

00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:24.999
and Thisbe for the wedding
party, a tragic play,

00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:29.999
about true love cruelly destroyed by parental
interference, something like Romeo and Juliet.

00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:34.999
Except from the caste.

00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:39.999
If we offend,

00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:44.999
it is with our good will. To show our simple
skill that is the true beginning of our end.

00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:49.999
The actors are at hand and by their show.

00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:54.999
You shall know all that
you are like to know.

00:43:55.000 --> 00:44:03.000
[sil.]

00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:14.999
Oh, grim-looked night. O night
with hue so black. Oh, night,

00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:19.999
which ever art when day is not.
Oh, night. Oh, night.

00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:24.999
I fear my Thisbe’s promise is forgot,

00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:29.999
and thou, Oh, wall, Oh,
sweet, Oh, lovely wall,

00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:34.999
that stand’st between her
father’s ground and mine

00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:39.999
Show me thy chink, to blink
through with mine eyne.

00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:44.999
Thanks, courteous wall, Jove
shields thee well for this.

00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:49.999
But what see I? No Thisbe do I see.

00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:54.999
Oh, wicked wall, through
which I see no bliss.

00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:59.999
Cursed be thy stones for thus deceiving
me… The wall, methinks, being sensible,

00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.999
should curse again. No, in
truth, sir, he should not.

00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:09.999
\"Deceiving me\" is Thisbe’s cue, she is to enter now,
and I am to spy her through the wall. You shall see.

00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:14.999
Oh, wall, full often hast
thou heard my moans,

00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:19.999
for parting my fair Pyramus and me.

00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:24.999
My cherry lips have often
kissed thy stones.

00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:29.999
Thy stones with lime and
hair knit up in thee.

00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:34.999
I see a voice now will I to the chink,

00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:39.999
to spy an I can hear my Thisbe’s face.
Thisbe.

00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:44.999
My love thou art, my love I think. Think
what thou wilt, I am thy lover’s grace.

00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:49.999
Oh, kiss me through the
hole of this vile wall.

00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:54.999
I kiss the wall’s hole,
not your lips at all.

00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:59.999
Wilt thou at Ninny’s tomb
meet me straightway?

00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:04.999
Tide life, tide death,
I come without delay.

00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:09.999
Thus have I, Wall,

00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:14.999
my part discharged so, and, being done,

00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:19.999
thus wall away doth go.

00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:24.999
[sil.]

00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:29.999
The prettiest vibration
I ever heard this was.

00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:34.999
This is old Ninny’s tomb.

00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:39.999
Where is my love?

00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:44.999
Well roared, Lion.

00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:49.999
Well run, Thisbe.

00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:54.999
Well moused, Lion.

00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:59.999
[sil.]

00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:04.999
Sweet Moon, I thank thee
for thy sunny beams stay.

00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:09.999
Oh, spite. But mark, poor knight,

00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:14.999
what dreadful dole is here.

00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:19.999
I mantle good. What, stained with blood.

00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:24.999
Approach, ye furies fell. Oh fates,

00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:29.999
come, come, cut thread and thrum,

00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:34.999
quail, crush, conclude, and quell

00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:39.999
Come, tears, confound.

00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:44.999
Out, sword,.

00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:49.999
[sil.]

00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:54.999
and wound. The pap of Pyramus,

00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:59.999
ay, that left pap.

00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:04.999
Where heart doth hop, thus die

00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:09.999
I, thus, thus, thus.

00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:14.999
[sil.]

00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:19.999
Now am I dead,

00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:24.999
now am I fled,

00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:29.999
my soul is in the sky,

00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:34.999
tongue,

00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:39.999
lose thy light.

00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:44.999
Moon take thy flight.

00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:49.999
Now die, die,

00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:54.999
die, die,

00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:59.999
die.

00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:04.999
[sil.]

00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:09.999
Asleep, my love? What, dead, my dove?

00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:14.999
Oh, Pyramus,

00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:19.999
arise.

00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:24.999
Speak, speak.

00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:29.999
Quite dumb? Oh, Dead, dead?

00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:34.999
A tomb must cover thy sweet eyes.

00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:39.999
Lovers, make moan.

00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:44.999
His eyes were green as leeks.

00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:49.999
Oh, Sisters Three,

00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:54.999
come, come to me, with
hands as pale as milk.

00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:59.999
Lay them in gore, since you have
shore with shears his thread of silk

00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.999
tongue, not a word.

00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:09.999
Come, trusty sword.

00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:14.999
Come, blade, my breast imbrue,

00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:19.999
and farewell, friends. Thus Thisbe ends.

00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:24.999
Adieu, adieu, adieu.

00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:33.000
[sil.]

00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:44.999
Will it please you to see the epilogue,

00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:49.999
or to hear a Bergomask dance between two
of our company? No epilogue, I pray you

00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:54.999
for your play needs no excuse.

00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:59.999
Never excuse; for when the players are
all dead, there need none to be blamed.

00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:08.000
[sil.]

00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:14.999
Now the hungry lion roars, and

00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:19.999
the wolf behowls the moon.

00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:24.999
Now it is the time of night that
the graves all gaping wide,

00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:29.999
every one lets forth his sprite.
In the church-way paths to glide,

00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:34.999
and we fairies,

00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:39.999
that do run by the triple Hecate’s team, from the
presence of the sun, following darkness like a dream,

00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:44.999
now are frolic.

00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:49.999
The iron tongue of
midnight hath told twelve.

00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:54.999
Lovers, to bed, ‘tis almost fairy time,

00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:59.999
I fear we shall out-sleep the coming morn
as much as we this night have over watched.

00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:04.999
Sweet friends, to bed.

00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:09.999
First, rehearse your song by rote

00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:14.999
to each word a warbling note.

00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:19.999
Hand in hand, with fairy grace,

00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:24.999
will we sing, and bless this place.

00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:29.999
[music]

00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:34.999
Now, until the break of day, through
this house each fairy stray.

00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:39.999
To the best bride-bed will we,

00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:44.999
which by us shall blessed be.

00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:49.999
So shall all the couple’s
three ever true in loving be,

00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:54.999
and the blots of Nature’s hand
shall not in their issue stand,

00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:59.999
With this

00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:04.999
field-dew consecrate, Every
fairy take his gait,

00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:09.999
and each several chamber bless,

00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:14.999
through this palace, with sweet peace,

00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:19.999
and the owner of it blest, ever
shall in safety rest. Trip away;

00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:24.999
make no stay. Meet me all by break of day.

00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:33.000
[music]

00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:39.999
If we shadows have offended.

00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:44.999
Think but this, and all is mended,

00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:49.999
that you have but slumbered here.
While these visions did appear,

00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:54.999
and this weak and idle theme,

00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:59.999
no more yielding but a dream.

00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:05.000
