Nick Bottom
- 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: 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.
