(She doesn't say it, but we can assume she's the pretty and delicate half of that metaphor.) Titania sends all of the fairies away and compares her strange pairing with Bottom to the relationship between the gentle ivy that twists around the ugly, barky elm. Titania tells him to go to sleep and she'll snuggle with him. So doth the woodbine the sweet honeysuckle Sleep thou, and I will wind thee in my arms. None of it matters, though, because Bottom is feeling very sleepy. She offers to have a fairy steal some nuts from a squirrel, but Bottom says he'd rather have a couple handfuls of dried peas.

Bottom says he has a good ear for music, and calls for "tongs and bones." (These are old rural musical instruments-the tongs were struck like a triangle, and the bones rattled in the hands, like clappers.) Titania distracts Bottom from these worldly concerns, and asks him if he'd like to hear some music. What, wilt thou hear some music, my sweet love?īOTTOM I have a reasonable good ear in music. Then Bottom announces he needs to go to the barber because he's feeling kind of hairy, and when he's hairy, he feels itchy all over. He calls for Peaseblossom to scratch his head and for Cobweb to go kill him a bee and bring back its honey.
