Shakespeare - A Midsummer Night's Dream Quotes, Quotations
Over
hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire,
I do wander everywhere. A Midsummer Night's Dream, 2. 1
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 dewdrops here
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear. A Midsummer Night's Dream, 2. 1
The
wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale. A Midsummer Night's Dream, 2. 1

met by moonlight, proud Titania. A Midsummer Night's Dream, 2. 1
Since
once I sat upon a promontory,
And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back
Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath,
That the rude sea grew civil at her song,
And certain stars shot madly from their spheres
To hear the sea-maid's music. A Midsummer Night's Dream, 2. 1
And
the imperial votaress passed on,
In maiden meditation, fancy-free.
Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell:
It fell upon a little western flower,
Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound,
And maidens call it Love-in-idleness. A Midsummer Night's Dream, 2. 1
I'll
put a girdle round about the earth
In forty minutes. A Midsummer Night's Dream, 2. 1
My
heart
Is true as steel. A Midsummer Night's Dream, 2. 1

know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine. A Midsummer Night's Dream, 2. 1
You
spotted snakes with double tongue,
Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;
Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong,
Come not near our fairy queen. A Midsummer Night's Dream, 2. 2
