Private Romeo
What, Juliet.
How now! Who calls?
What, lamb!
What, ladybird!
What Juliette ?
And we mean well in going to this mask;
But 'tis no wit to go.
Why, may one ask?
I dream'd...
I dream'd a dream to-night.
And so did I.
Well, what was yours?
In bed asleep, while they
O, then, I see Queen Mab
hath been with you.
She is the fairies' midwife,
and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate-stone.
On the fore-finger of an alderman
Drawn with a team of little atomies
Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep;
Her chariot is an empty hazel-nut
Her wagon-spokes made of long spiders' legs
The cover of the wings of grasshoppers,
The traces of the smallest spider's web.
Her whip of cricket's bone,
the lash of film,
Her driver a small grey-coated gnat
Not so big as a round little worm
Prick'd from the lazy finger of a maid.
And in this state she gallops
night by night
Through lovers' brains,
and then they dream of love;
O'er ladies ' lips,
Which oft the angry Mab
with blisters plagues,
Because their breaths
with sweetmeats tainted are:
Sometime she driveth o'er
a soldier's neck,
And then dreams he of cutting
foreign throats,
Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades,
Of healths five-fathom deep;
and then anon Drums in his ear,
And being thus frighted
swears a prayer or two
And sleeps again.
Peace, peace,
Thou talk'st of nothing.
I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air
And more inconstant than the wind...
This wind, you talk of,
blows us from ourselves;
Come! Knock and enter!
Supper is done, and we shall come too late.
Welcome, gentlemen!
