From A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare

I see their knavery. This is to make an ass of me, to fright me, if they could. But I will not stir from this place, do what they can. I will walk up and down here, and I will sing, that they shall hear I am not afraid. The ousel cock, so black of hue, With orange-tawny bill, The throstle with his note so true, The wren with little quill.
