Squire? <cough> Squire? Is this merry old England? Surely The Giver deserves more than Squire? :eekers:

Say what? The Giver thinks someone "bit" your "nibble" Mercutio, better check it in the mirror guy.

I am omnipresent
Mercutio: O, then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes
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;
Her wagon spokes made of long spinners' legs,
The cover of the wings of grasshoppers,
Her traces of the smallest spider web,
Her collars of the moonshine's wat'ry beams,
Her whip of cricket's bone, the lash of philome,
Her wagoner a small grey-coated gnat
Not half so big as a round little worm
Prick'd from the lazy finger of a maid;
Her chariot is an empty hazel nut,
Made by the joiner squirrel or old grub,
Time out a mind the fairies' coachmakers.
And in this state she gallops night by night
Through lovers' brains and then they dream of love,
On courtiers' knees that dream on cursies straight,
O'er lawyers' fingers who straight dream on fees,
O'er ladies' lips who straight on kisses dream,
Which oft the angry Mab with blisters plagues
Because their breaths with sweetmeats tainted are.
Sometime she gallops o'er a courtier's nose
And then dreams he of smelling out a suit,
And sometime comes she with a tithe-pig's tail
Tickling a.parson's nose as 'a lies asleep--
Then he dreams of another benefice.
Sometime she driveth o'er a soldier's neck
And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats,
Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades,
Of healths five fadom deep; and then anon
Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes,
And being thus frighted swears a prayer or two
And sleeps again. This is that very Mab
That plats the manes of horses in the night
And bakes the elflocks in foul sluttish hairs
Which once entangled much misfortune bodes.
This is the hag, when maids lie on their backs,
That presses them and learns them first to bear,
Making them women of good carriage.
This is she-

Romeo: Peace, peace, Mercutio, peace! Thou talk'st of nothing.

Mercutio: True, I talk of dreams, which are the children of an idle brain....

The Giver can't quite recall... is it Mercutio that dies in a sword fight at the beginning?

I think it was Mercutio. I believe it was Tabolt who bit the dust along with him? Romeo I believe did Tabolt in. I really can't recall. The movie made back in the 60s' with Olivia De Hussy was excellent. I don't know any of you have ever seen it but I highly recommend it.
