the moon sleeps with Endymion 118 And would not be awaked!
PORTIA
The crow doth sing as sweetly as the lark 111
When neither is attended , and I think 112
The nightingale, if she should sing by day 113
When every goose is cackling, would be thought 114
No better a musician than the wren. 115
How many things by season seasoned are 116
To their right praise and true perfection! 117
Peace—how the moon sleeps with Endymion 118
And would not be awaked! 119
< Music ceases. >
[Act 5 Scene 1]
