Inconsequent debate in sleep
As they dream side by side.”

Mercutio. And so did I.

Mercutio. That dreamers often lie.
Romeo. In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.

In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Over men’s noses as they lie asleep.”
