Now, good Peter Quince, call forth your actors by the scroll. Masters, spread yourselves. _Quin._ Answer as I call you. Nick Bottom, the weaver. 15 _Bot._ Ready. Name what part I am for, and proceed. _Quin._ You, Nick Bottom, are set down for Pyramus. _Bot._ What is Pyramus? a lover, or a tyrant? _Quin._ A lover, that kills himself most gallant for love. _Bot._ That will ask some tears in the true performing of 20 it: if I do it, let the audience look to their eyes; I will move storms, I will condole in some measure. To the rest: yet my chief humour is for a tyrant: I could play Ercles rarely, or a part to tear a cat in, to make all split.
