Famous Lines from A Midsummer Night's Dream

  • "The course of true love never did run smooth." Act I scene i
  • "Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania." Act II scene i
  • "I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
    Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
    Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine,
    With sweet muskroses and with eglantine.
    There sleeps Titrania sometime of the night,
    Lulled in these flowers with dances and delight.
    And there the snake throws her enameled skin,
    Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in." Act II scene 1

  • "Lord, what fools these mortals be!" Act III scene ii

  • "The lunatic, the lover, and the poet
    Are of imagination all compact." Act V scene i
