1 But silence; here comes Thisbe.
2 Flute, you must take Thisbe on you.
3 So hath thy breath, my dearest Thisbe dear.
4 And I may hide my face, let me play Thisbe too.
5 Robin Starveling, you must play Thisbe's mother.
6 No, no, you must play Pyramus; and, Flute, you Thisbe.
7 Enter Pyramus and Thisbe, Wall, Moonshine and Lion as in dumb show.
8 There are things in this comedy of Pyramus and Thisbe that will never please.
9 This man is Pyramus, if you would know; This beauteous lady Thisbe is certain.
10 I see a voice; now will I to the chink, To spy an I can hear my Thisbe's face.
11 You, Pyramus' father; myself, Thisbe's father; Snug, the joiner, you, the lion's part.
12 But there is two hard things: that is, to bring the moonlight into a chamber, for you know, Pyramus and Thisbe meet by moonlight.
13 In any case, let Thisbe have clean linen; and let not him that plays the lion pare his nails, for they shall hang out for the lion's claws.
14 Then there is another thing: we must have a wall in the great chamber; for Pyramus and Thisbe, says the story, did talk through the chink of a wall.
15 And let him have some plaster, or some loam, or some rough-cast about him, to signify wall; and let him hold his fingers thus, and through that cranny shall Pyramus and Thisbe whisper.
16 In this same interlude it doth befall That I, one Snout by name, present a wall: And such a wall as I would have you think That had in it a crannied hole or chink, Through which the lovers, Pyramus and Thisbe, Did whisper often very secretly.
17 Anon comes Pyramus, sweet youth, and tall, And finds his trusty Thisbe's mantle slain; Whereat with blade, with bloody blameful blade, He bravely broach'd his boiling bloody breast; And Thisbe, tarrying in mulberry shade, His dagger drew, and died.
