Have you sent to Bottom's house? Is he come home yet?
He cannot be heard of. Out of doubt he is transported.
Zdrs: 2
It is not possible. You have not a man in all Athens able to discharge Pyramus but he.
If he come not, then the play is marred. It goes not forward. Doth it?
Zdrs: 3
Masters, the duke is coming from the temple, and there is two or three lords and ladies more married. If our sport had gone forward, we had all been made men.
O sweet bully Bottom! Thus hath he lost sixpence a day during his life. He could not have ’scaped sixpence a day. An the duke had not given him sixpence a day for playing Pyramus, I’ll be hanged.
Zdrs: 4
Where are these lads? Where are these hearts?
Bottom! O most courageous day! O most happy hour!
Zdrs: 5
Masters, I am to discourse wonders—but ask me not what, for if I tell you I am no true Athenian. I will tell you everything, right as it fell out.
Let us hear, sweet Bottom.
Zdrs: 6
Not a word of me. All that I will tell you is that the duke hath dined. Get your apparel together, good strings to your beards, new ribbons to your pumps. Meet presently at the palace. Every man look o'er his part.
