Puck's Apology and Request for Forgiveness
Puck: [last lines]
If we shadows have offended,Think but this, and all is mended,That you have but slumber'd here.While these visions did appear.And this weak and idle theme,No more yielding but a dream,Gentles, do not reprehend:If you pardon we will mend.Else the Puck a liar call.Give me your hands, if we be friends,And Robin shall restore amends.

The Enigma of Dream Interpretation
Nick Bottom:
I have had a most rare vision.I have had a dream.Past the wit of man to say what dream it was.Man is but an ass if he go about to expound this dream.Methought I was...There's no man can tell what.Methought I was...Methought I had...Man is but a patched fool is he will offer to say what I had.
