Bottom the Weaver : Since lion vile hath here deflowered my dear...
Peter Quince : DEVOURED.

Bottom the Weaver : The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen; Man's hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart to report what my dream was.
-
Tom Snout : [Puck has turned Bottom into a donkey] Bottom, thou art changed. What do I see on thee?
Bottom the Weaver : What do you see? What; do you see an ass' head of your own, do you?
Peter Quince : [backing away] Bless me. Thou art translated.
[all run off, leaving Bottom alone on the stage]
Bottom the Weaver : Why do they run away? I see their knavery. This is to make an ass of me.

Bottom the Weaver : Hark! I see a voice!
-
Bottom the Weaver : I have had a most rare vision / I have had a dream / Past the wit of man to say what dream it was. / Man is but an ass if he go about to expound this dream. / Methought I was... / There's no man can tell what. / Methought I was... / Methought I had... / Man is but a patched fool if he will offer to say what I had.
