QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
ACT/SCENE: 3.2
SPEAKER: Puck
CONTEXT:
OBERON
Stand aside. The noise they make
Will cause Demetrius to awake.
PUCK
Then will two at once woo one.
That must needs be sport alone.
And those things do best please me
That befall preposterously.
LYSANDER
Why should you think that I should woo in scorn?
Scorn and derision never come in tears.
Look, when I vow, I weep. And vows so born,
In their nativity all truth appears.
How can these things in me seem scorn to you,
Bearing the badge of faith to prove them true?

DUTCH:
Want dat is mijn grootste pret,
Als ik ‘t onderst boven zet.
