end of midsummer dream quotable

The end of A Midsummer Night's Dream features Puck's final epilogue, where he asks the audience for their forgiveness and suggests they view the play as a dream. Key quotable lines include: "If we shadows have offended, / Think but this, and all is mended: / That you have but slumbered here, / While these visions did appear". He concludes by emphasizing that the entire production was merely a "weak and idle theme" and that, if the audience was displeased, they should dismiss it as a dream. 

Here are the famous lines from Puck's epilogue: 

• "If we shadows have offended, / Think but this, and all is mended: / That you have but slumbered 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".

Now until the break of day
Through this house each fairy stray.
To the best bride bed will we,
Which by us shall blessèd be,
And the issue there create
Even shall be fortunate.
So shall all the couples three
Ever true in loving be,
And the blots of nature’s hand
Shall not in their issue stand. (V.i.)

This is Puck's monologue from the end of “A Midsummer Night's Dream” by William Shakespeare…

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:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends

In the play “A Midsummer Night's Dream”, Puck has helped Oberon (the king of the fairies whom Puck serves) play a trick on his queen Titania as well as five humans who are in the forest that night — two pairs of lovers and a older man employed as a weaver. At the end of the play, while Titania and the five humans are sleeping, Oberon and Puck undo nearly all the charms which they have used…and when Titania and the five humans wake up, they believe they dreamed all the events of the previous night.

Puck suggests at the end of the play that if the people watching didn't like it, perhaps they have simply been asleep like the characters in the play and that the play itself has all been a dream. He promises the people in the audience that if they do not judge the players too harshly, the players will make every effort to please and satisfy them at the next performance. Puck then bids the audience good night and requests that they applaud.
