     Begot of nothing but vain fantasy.

     We are such stuff
     As dreams are made  ? .

4. Fill in the blank:

on
in Japan


  Saw you not even now
     a blessed troop
  Invite me to a banquet,

  Cast thousand beams upon me
     like the sun?

9. Who spoketh so?

A Danish Depressive
A Venetian Vendor
A Star-Crossed Lover


And now a non-dream query:
     I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word;

     swallowed than a flap-dragon.
