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.

This loam, this roughcast, and this stone doth show

That I am that same wall; the truth is so.

And this the cranny is, right and sinister,

Through which the fearful lovers are to whisper.

Would you desire lime and hair to speak better?

It is the wittiest partition that ever I heard

discourse, my lord.

[Enter Bottom as Pyramus]

Pyramus draws near the wall. Silence.
