212\u00a0 Hey-ho! Peter Quince! Flute the bellows-mender!<\/p>\n

213\u00a0 Snout the tinker! Starveling! God\u2019s my life! Stolen<\/p>\n

214\u00a0 hence and left me asleep! I have had a most rare<\/p>\n

215\u00a0 vision. I have had a dream past the wit of man to say<\/p>\n

216\u00a0 what dream it was. Man is but an ass if he go about<\/p>\n

217\u00a0 to expound this dream. Methought I was\u2014there<\/p>\n

218\u00a0 is no man can tell what. Methought I was and<\/p>\n

219\u00a0 methought I had\u2014but man is but a patched fool if<\/p>\n

220\u00a0 he will offer to say what methought I had. The eye of<\/p>\n

222\u00a0 man\u2019s hand is not able to taste, his tongue to<\/p>\n

223\u00a0 conceive, nor his heart to report what my dream<\/p>\n

224\u00a0 was. I will get Peter Quince to write a ballad of this<\/p>\n

225\u00a0 dream. It shall be called \u201cBottom\u2019s Dream\u201d because<\/p>\n

226\u00a0 it hath no bottom; and I will sing it in the<\/p>\n

227\u00a0 latter end of a play, before the Duke. Peradventure,<\/p>\n

228\u00a0 to make it the more gracious, I shall sing it at her death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
