A Midsummer Night's Dream 3.1.126 Cuckoo

The transcript discusses the behavior of cuckoo birds, particularly how female cuckoos lay eggs in the nests of other males. This behavior is linked to the origin of the term 'cuckold,' which refers to a man whose wife is unfaithful. The transcript also references cultural perceptions of cuckoo birds, as illustrated in the lyrics of 'Bottom Song,' where men fear the bird's call might imply their own cuckoldry.
