Francis Flute, the bellows mender, does not want to play the woman's role of Thisbe. He would rather play a "knight errant." Bottom illustrates how the role should be played.
Dialogue
Bottom: "An' I may hide my face, let me play Thisby too. I'll speak in a monstrous little voice, 'Thisne, Thisne.' 'Ah, Pyramus, my lover dear! Thy Thisby dear, and lady dear!" (I.ii.53-56).
