Perchance to Dream
I don't own OLTL or the Play also sorry for the major OOC ness (the play that the people do will be word for word)
~~
At the Governors Mansion Vikki and Harrison were talking.
"It's strange," said Vikki, "what these lovers speak of."
"I know," said Harrison, "but you wee young once."
"I know," said Vikki, "but never has anything that fanciful happened to me."
"Well here they come now," said Harrison as Jen, Rex, Joe, and Marcie entered.
"Ah," said Harrison, "young love now we must celebrate."
"We have plenty of things," said Vikki, "here's the list of entertainment."
Harrison read the list.
"What about w see this," said Harrison, "'A tedious brief scene of young Pyramus
and his love Thisbe."
"And my Natalie is in it," said Vikki, "of course."
Natalie entered and read the Prologue.
" If we offend, it is with our good will. That you should think, we come not to offend, but with good will. To show our simple skill," said Natalie, "That is the true beginning of our end. Consider then we come but in despite. We do not come as minding to contest you, our true intent is. All for your delight we are not here. That you should here repent you, the actors are at hand and by their show you shall know all that you are like to know."
"This seem interesting," said Harrison.
"My sister's putting this on," said Rex, "this should be good."
"Indeed," said Vikki, "Natalie is a brilliant girl."
"Gentles, perchance you wonder at this show; but wonder on, till truth make all things plain. This man is Pyramus, if you would know; this beauteous lady Thisbe is certain. This man, with lime and rough-cast, doth present Wall, that vile Wall which did these lovers sunder; and through Wall's chink, poor souls, they are content To whisper," said Natalie, " At the which let no man wonder. This man, with lanthorn, dog, and bush of thorn, Presented Moonshine; for, if you will know, By moonshine did these lovers think no scorn To meet at Ninus' tomb, there, there to woo. This grisly beast, which Lion height by name, The trusty Thisbe coming first by night, Did scare away, or rather did affright; And, as she fled, her mantle she did fall, Which Lion vile with bloody mouth did stain. Anon comes Pyramus, sweet youth and tall, and finds his trusty Thisbe's mantle slain: Whereat, with blade, with bloody blameful blade, He bravely broach'd is boiling bloody breast; And Thisbe, tarrying in mulberry shade, His dagger drew, and died. For all the rest, let Lion, Moonshine, Wall, and lovers twain At large discourse, while here they do remain."
"I didn't understand half of it," said Harrison.
"Just watch," said Joe.
The Play went on.
~~
Jessica (as Wall):In this same interlude it doth befall that I, one Snout by name, present a wall; and such a wall, as I would have you think,
That had in it a crannied hole or chink, Through which the lovers, Pyramus and Thisby, Did whisper often very secretly. This loam, this roughcast and this stone doth show that I am that same wall; the truth is so: And this cranny is, right and sinister, through which the fearful lovers are to whisper.
John (as Pyramus):O grim-look'd night! O night with hue so black!O night, whichever art when day is not!O night, O night! Alack, alack, alack, I fear my Thisbe's promise is forgot! And thou, O wall, O sweet, O lovely wall, That stand'st between her father's ground and mine! Thou wall, O wall, O sweet and lovely wall, Show me thy chink, to blink through with mine eyne!
Jess as the wall holds up her fingers.
Pyramus: Thanks, courteous wall: Jove shields thee well for this! But what see I? No Thisbe do I see. O wicked wall, through which I see no bliss! Cursed be thy stones for thus deceiving me!
Thisbe (Antonio) enters.
Antonio (as Thisbe):O wall, full often hast thou heard my moans, for parting my fair Pyramus and me! My cherry lips have often kiss'd thy stones, Thy stones with lime and hair knit up in thee.
Pyramus:I see a voice: now will I to the chink, to spy an I can hear my Thisbe's face. Thisbe!
Thisby: My love thou art, my love I think.
Pyramus: Think what thou wilt, I am thy lover's grace; And, like Limander, am I trusty still.
Thisby: And I like Helen, till the Fates me kill.
Pyramus: Not Shafalus to Procrus was so true.
Thisby: As Shafalus to Procrus, I to you.
Pyramus:O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall!
Thisby:I kiss the wall's hole, not your lips at all.
Pyramus: Wilt thou at Ninny's tomb meet me straightway?
Thisby:'Tide life, 'tide death, I come without delay.
They both exit.
Wall: Thus have I, Wall, my part discharged so; and, being done, thus Wall away doth go.
Wall exits.
~~
"This is real good," said Vikki, "and rally funny."
"I'm glad your enjoying it," said Harrison.
~~
Enter Lion (River) and Moonshine (Flash)
River (as Lion): You, ladies, you, whose gentle hearts do fear The smallest monstrous mouse that creeps on floor, May now perchance both quake and tremble here, When lion rough in wildest rage doth roar. Then know that River, amA lion-fell, else no, nor I lion's dam; for, if I should as lion come in strife into this place, 'twere pity on my life.
Flash (As Moonshine): This lanthorn doth the horned moon present. Myself the man I' the moon do seem to be. I, the man in the moon; this
thorn-bush, my thorn-bush; and this dog, my dog.
Thisbe: This is old Ninny's tomb. Where is my love?
Lion :Oh-
~~
"Well-roared Lion," said Joey.
"Well run Thisbe," said Harrison.
"And then came Pyramus," said Joey.
~~
Pyramus: Sweet Moon, I thank thee for thy sunny beams; I thank thee, Moon, for shining now so bright; for, by thy gracious, golden, glittering gleams, I trust to take of truest Thisbe sight. But stay, O spite! But mark, poor knight, what dreadful dole is here! Eyes, do you see? How can it be? O dainty duck! O dear! Thy mantle good, what, stain'd with blood! Approach, ye Furies fell! O Fates, come, come, Cut thread and thrum; Quail, crush, conclude, and quell! O wherefore, Nature, didst thou lions frame? Since lion vile hath here deflower'd my dear: Which is--no, no--which was the fairest dame That lived, that loved, that liked, that look'dwith cheer. Come, tears, confound; Out, sword, and wound the pap of Pyramus; Ay, that left pap, Where heart doth hop. (Stabs Self) Thus die I, thus, thus, thus.
Now am I dead, Now am I fled; my soul is in the sky: Tongue, lose thy light; Moon take thy flight (Dies)
~~
"Poor John," said Rex.
"He's not really dead," said Joey, "Just Pyramus."
~~
Thisbe: Asleep, my love? What, dead, my dove? O Pyramus, arise!
Speak, speak. Quite dumb? Dead, dead? A tomb must cover thy sweet eyes. These my lips, this cherry nose, these yellow cowslip cheeks, Are gone, are gone: Lovers, make moan: His eyes were green as leeks. O Sisters Three, Come, come to me, With hands as pale as milk; Lay them in gore, Since you have shore With shears his thread of silk. Tongue, not a word: Come, trusty sword; Come, blade, my breast imbrue. (Stabs Self) And, farewell, friends; Thus Thisbe ends: Adieu, adieu, and adieu. (Dies)
~~
"That was sad," said Harrison, "leaving Moonshine and Lion to burry the dead."
"Don't forget Wall," said Joey. '
"So did you like it," said Natalie.
"We loved it Nat," said Vikki.
"I'm glad you did this Natalie," said Rex kissing Jen, "it's the greatest present of all."
"We finally can agree," said Joey kissing Marcie.
~~
"I'm so glad those mortals are going to live happily ever after," said Walker.
"And so will we Todd," said Blair, "so will we."
