BOTTOM . Let me play the lion too . I will roar that I will do any man’s heart good to hear me . I will roar that I will make the Duke say ‘ Let him roar again , let him roar again . ’ QUINCE . If you should do it too terribly , you would fright the Duchess and the ladies , that they would shriek ; and that were enough to hang us all . ALL That would hang us every mother’s son . BOTTOM . I grant you , friends , if you should fright the ladies out of their wits , they would have no more discretion but to hang us . But I will aggravate my voice so , that I will roar you as gently as any sucking dove ; I will roar you an ’ twere any nightingale . QUINCE . You can play no part but Pyramus , for Pyramus is a sweet - faced man ; a proper man as one shall see in a summer’s day ; a most lovely gentleman - like man . Therefore you must needs play Pyramus . BOTTOM . Well , I will undertake it . What beard were I best to play it in ? QUINCE . Why , what you will . BOTTOM . I will discharge it in either your straw - colour beard , your orange - tawny beard , your purple - in - grain beard , or your French - crown - colour beard , your perfect yellow . QUINCE . Some of your French crowns have no hair at all , and then you will play bare - faced . But , masters , here are your parts , and I am to entreat you , request you , and desire you , to con them by tomorrow night ; and meet me in the palace wood , a mile without the town , by moonlight ; there will we rehearse , for if we meet in the city , we shall be dogg’d with company , and our devices known . In the meantime I will draw a bill of properties , such as our play wants . I pray you fail me not . BOTTOM . We will meet , and there we may rehearse most obscenely and courageously . Take pains , be perfect ; adieu . QUINCE . At the Duke’s oak we meet . BOTTOM . Enough . Hold , or cut bow - strings . [ Exeunt . ] ACT II SCENE I . A wood near Athens Enter a Fairy at one door , and Puck at another . PUCK . How now , spirit ! Whither wander you ? FAIRY Over hill , over dale , Thorough bush , thorough brier , Over park , over pale , Thorough flood , thorough fire , I do wander everywhere , Swifter than the moon’s sphere ; And I serve the Fairy Queen , To dew her orbs upon the green . The cowslips tall her pensioners be , In their gold coats spots you see ; Those be rubies , fairy favours , In those freckles live their savours . I must go seek some dew - drops here , And hang a pearl in every cowslip’s ear . Farewell , thou lob of spirits ; I’ll be gone . Our Queen and all her elves come here anon .
