19521876The. I wonder, if the Lyon be to speake.

19531877Demet. No wonder, my Lord. One Lyon may, when

19541878many Asses doe.

19561880Wall. In this same enterlude it doth befall,

19571881That I, one Flute (by name) present a wall:

19581882And such a wall, as I would haue you thinke

19591883That had in it a cranied hole or chinke:

19601884Through which the louers, Pyramus, and Thisby,

19611885Did whisper often, very secretly.

19621886This lome, this roughcast, and this stone doth showe,

19631887That I am that same wall: the truth is so.

19641888And this the cranie is, right and sinister,

19651889Through which the fearefull louers are to whisper.

19661890The. Would you desire lime and haire to speake better?

19771899That standst betweene her fathers ground and mine,

19781900Thou wall, ? wall, O sweete and louely wall,

19791901Showe mee thy chinke, to blink through, with mine eyne.

19801902Thankes curteous wall. Ioue shield thee well, for this.

19811903But what see I? No Thisby doe I see.

19821904O wicked wall, through whome I see no blisse,

19831905Curst be thy stones, for thus deceiuing mee.

19841906The. The wall mee thinkes, being sensible, should curse

19851907againe.

19861908Pyr. No, in truth Sir, he should not. Deceiuing mee is

19871909Thisbyes cue: she is to enter now, and I am to spy
