What, jealous Oberon? Fairies, skip hence. I have forsworn his bed and company.
(waking) What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?
First, rehearse your song by rote. To each word a warbling note. Hand in hand with fairy grace will we sing and bless this place.
Bottom is full of advice and self-confidence but frequently makes silly mistakes and misuses language. His simultaneous nonchalance about the beautiful Titania's sudden love for him and unawareness of the fact that Puck has transformed his head into that of an ass (donkey) mark the pinnacle of his foolish arrogance.

A very good piece of work, I assure you, and a merry. Now, good Peter Quince, call forth your actors by the scroll. Masters, spread yourselves.
Methinks, mistress, you should have little reason for that. And yet, to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays. The more the pity that some honest neighbours will not make them friends. Nay, I can geek upon occasion.
(as Pyramus) O grim-looked night! O night with hue so black! O night, which ever art when day is not! O night, O night! Alack, alack, alack. I fear my Thisbe's promise is forgot! And thou, O Wall, O sweet and lovely Wall, show me thy chink to blink through with mine eyne!
One of the fairies ordered by Titania to attend to Bottom after she falls in love with him.
Either I mistake your shape and making quite, or else you are that shrewd and knavish sprite called Robin Goodfellow. Are not you he that frights the maidens of the villagers, skim milk, and sometimes labour in the quern and bootless make the breathless housewife churn, and sometime make the drink to bear no barm, mislead night-wanderers, laughing at their harm? Those that Hobgoblin call you, and sweet Puck, you do their work, and they shall have good luck. Are not you he?
Ready!
Where shall we go?
