Here's a translation for morons:
"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends."
means
"If the actors in our show made you mad,
it'll be okay if you think of it this way!
You fell asleep on your butt and Dreamed the whole thing!
There was a hole in the plot you could Drive a truck through.
Honey, don't blame us,
You could be watching Oprah.
And we're sorry, but the next show will
Have a lot of funny skits.
I'm not touching that one.\
What he said.
We'll buy you foot long hot dogs!
Good night everybody!
