:20:00
- But 'tis no wit to go!
- Why, may one ask?
:20:03
- I dreamt a dream tonight.
- And so did I.
:20:05
- And what was yours?
- That dreamers often lie.
:20:07
In bed asleep,
while they do dream things true.
:20:10
O! Then I see
Queen Mab hath been with you.
:20:14
She is the fairies' midwife,...
:20:16
..and she comes in shape
no bigger than an agate-stone...
:20:19
..on the forefinger of an alderman,...
:20:22
..drawn with a team of little atomies...
:20:26
..over men's noses as they lie asleep.
:20:30
Her chariot is an empty hazelnut,...
:20:34
..her waggoner a small grey-coated gnat.
:20:38
And in this state she gallops
night by night through lovers' brains,...
:20:43
..and then they dream of...
:20:46
..love;
:20:47
..o'er lawyers' fingers,
who straight dream on fees.
:20:50
Sometime she driveth o'er a soldier's neck,...
:20:53
..and then dreams he
of cutting foreign throats;
:20:56
..and, being thus frighted, swears
a prayer or two, and sleeps again.
:21:00
This is the hag,
when maids lie on their backs,...
:21:04
..that presses them
and learns them first to bear,...
:21:08
..making them women of good carriage!
:21:12
This is she!
:21:14
This is she!
:21:28
Peace, good Mercutio, peace!
:21:31
Thou talk'st of nothing.
:21:35
True.
:21:39
I talk of dreams,...
:21:41
..which are the children of an idle brain,...
:21:44
..begot of nothing but vain fantasy;
:21:47
..which is as thin of substance as the air
and more inconstant than the wind,...
:21:52
..who woos even now
the frozen bosom of the north,...
:21:55
..and, being angered,
puffs away from thence,...
:21:58
..turning aside to the dew-dropping south.
