Snug

Masters, the Duke is coming from the temple, and
there is two or three lords and ladies more married. If
our sport had gone forward we had all been made men.

O sweet bully Bottom! Thus hath he lost sixpence a
day during his life; he could not have scaped sixpence a

"That every man should take his own",
In your waking shall be shown.

      Naught shall go ill,
      The man shall have his mare again,
      And all shall be well.
[Exit Robin]
