"Lulled in the flowers with dances and delight, [...]"

 

W. Shakespeare - A Midsummernight's Dream -

Act 1, Scene 2, spoken by Oberon

 

"If we offend, it is with our goodwill

That,  you should think:  we come not to offend

But with goodwill. To show our simple skill,

That is the true beginning of our end.

Consider then we come but in despite.

We do not come as minding to content you,

Our true intent is. All for your delight

We are not here. That you should here repent you

The actors are at hand. And by their show

You shall know all that you are like to know."

 

W. Shakespeare - A Midsummernight's Dream -

Act 5, Scene 1, spoken by Quince

. 

"All the world’s a stage,

And all the men and women merely players;

And one man in his time plays many parts, [...]"

 

W. Shakespeare - As You Like It -

Act 2, Scene 7, spoken by Jaques

 

 

"And  we  fairies  that  do  run

By  the  triple  Hecate's  team

From  the  presence  of  the  sun,

Following [ a]  darkness  like  a  dream,

Now  are  frolic.  Not  a  mouse

Shall  disturb  this  hallowed  house. [...]"

 

W. Shakespeare - A Midsummernight's Dream -

Act 5, Scene 1, spoken by Robin (Puck)
