James Jacques Joseph Tissot Too Early painting

James Jacques Joseph Tissot Too Early painting
James Jacques Joseph Tissot The Bunch of Violets painting
This lanthorn doth the horned moon present; --
DEMETRIUS
He should have worn the horns on his head.
THESEUS
He is no crescent, and his horns areinvisible within the circumference.
Moonshine
This lanthorn doth the horned moon present;Myself the man i' the moon do seem to be.
THESEUS
This is the greatest error of all the rest: the manshould be put into the lanthorn. How is it else theman i' the moon?
DEMETRIUS
He dares not come there for the candle; for, yousee, it is already in snuff.
HIPPOLYTA
I am aweary of this moon: would he would change!
THESEUS
It appears, by his small light of discretion, thathe is in the wane; but yet, in courtesy, in allreason, we must stay the time.
LYSANDER
Proceed, Moon.
Moonshine
All that I have to say, is, to tell you that thelanthorn is the moon; I, the man in the moon; thisthorn-bush, my thorn-bush; and this dog, my dog.
