-- than if I had taken Queen Mab or Titania as my companion.
) Tell a girl she is an angel, only more angelic than an angel; that she is a goddess, only more graceful, queenly, and heavenly than the average goddess; that she is more fairy-like than Titania, more beautiful than Venus, more enchanting than Parthenope; more adorable, lovely, and radiant, in short, than any other woman that ever did live, does live, or could live, and you will make a very favorable impression upon her trusting little heart.
Bhaer was Nick Bottom, and Tina was Titania, a perfect little fairy in his arms.
