oh the horror

to mix my shakespearean msgs, and a bit of paraphraseation

"Cry Mia, and let slip the dogs of war!"



FLUTE
O,--As true as truest horse, that yet would
never tire.

Re-enter PUCK, and BOTTOM with an ass's head

BOTTOM
If I were fair, Thisby, I were only thine.

QUINCE
O monstrous! O strange! we are haunted. Pray,
masters! fly, masters! Help!

Exeunt QUINCE, SNUG, FLUTE, SNOUT, and STARVELING

PUCK
I'll follow you, I'll lead you about a round,
Through bog, through bush, through brake, through brier:
Sometime a horse I'll be, sometime a hound,
A hog, a headless bear, sometime a fire;
And neigh, and bark, and grunt, and roar, and burn,
Like horse, hound, hog, bear, fire, at every turn.

Exit

BOTTOM
Why do they run away? this is a knavery of them to
make me afeard.

Re-enter SNOUT

SNOUT
O Bottom, thou art changed! what do I see on thee?

BOTTOM
What do you see? you see an asshead of your own, do you?
 
okay, i'm trying to figure out which myth it was...i wonder if i mixed it up with Midas, who got ass' EARS.

however, i found this, and must post it, for reasons which will become obvious when you read it:

""The pre-Vedic sacred king Ravana sported ten crowned human heads surmounted by one ass head, symbolizing the spirit of the ass god incarnate in ten kings; King of the Rakshasas [harmers], hideous demons and evil spirits." (Hindu Mythology)"
