And tragical, my noble lord, it is

For Pyramus therein doth kill himself.

V, 1, 66.

THESEUS.

Here come the lovers, full of joy and mirth,

Joy, gentle friends; joy and fresh days of love

Accompany your hearts.

Come now, what masques, what dances shall we have

To wear away this long age of three hours

Between our after-supper and bed-time?
