Quotes From A Midsummer Night's Dream:

Bottom the Weaver: Since lion vile hath here deflowered my dear...
Peter Quince: DEVOURED.

Theseus: Merry and tragical? Tedious and brief? That is hot ice and wonderous strange snow.

Helena: I am your spaniel. And Demetrius, the more you beat me, I will fawn on you. Use me - but as your spaniel. Spurn me, strike me, neglect me, lose me, but give me leave, unworthy as I am, to follow you.
