* An InUniverse example in Shakespeare's ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'': the plays ready to be performed for Theseus all feature these, perhaps poking fun at some of the elaborately long titles many printed texts of the day had. The plays include:
** "The battle with the Centaurs sung by an Athenian eunuch to the harp"
** "The riot of the tipsy Bacchanals, tearing the Thracian singer in their rage"
** "The thrice three Muses mourning for the death of Learning, late deceased in beggary"
** And of course the one that actually gets picked: "A tedious brief scene of young Pyramus and his love Thisbe; very tragical mirth" which is commonly shortened to just "Pyramus and Thisbe."
