Hi Safaa. This is from A Midsummer Night's Dream : ACT I : Scene 2 by William Shakespeare . You need to have more than one line to understand the meaning * Quince. You, Pyramus' father: myself, Thisby's father: Snug, the joiner; you, the lion's part: and, I hope, here is a play fitted. * Snug. Have you the lion's part written? pray you, if it be, give it me, for I am slow of study. 325 * Quince. You may do it extempore, for it is nothing but roaring. * Bottom. Let me play the lion too: I will roar, that I will do any man's heart good to hear me; I will roar, that I will make the duke say 'Let him roar again, let him roar again.' 330 * Quince. An you should do it too terribly, you would fright the duchess and the ladies, that they would shriek; and that were enough to hang us all. * All. That would hang us, every mother's son. * Bottom. I grant you, friends, if that you should fright the 335 ladies out of their wits, they would have no more discretion but to hang us: but I will aggravate my voice so that I will roar you as gently as any sucking dove; I will roar you an 'twere any nightingale. Quince tells Bottom that his acting would scare the ladies and they would all be in trouble.

If they did that (allow one of them to act as a scary lion), all of them (every mother's son) would be lynched.
