"Modern Text  FLUTE Who's Thisbe? A knight on a quest?  QUINCE Thisbe is the lady Pyramus is in love with.  FLUTE No, come on, don't make me play a woman. I'm growing a beard.  QUINCE That doesn't matter. You'll wear a mask, and you can make your voice as high as you want to.  BOTTOM In that case, if I can wear a mask, let me play Thisbe too! I'll be Pyramus first: ""Thisne, Thisne!""—And then in falsetto: ""Ah, Pyramus, my dear lover! I'm your dear Thisbe, your dear lady!""  QUINCE No, no. Bottom, you're Pyramus.—And Flute, you're Thisbe."
