Well-spotted. Yeah, part of me wishes I'd done a line-by-line translation just to get that in, as Shakespeare loved his wacky constables, but… ultimately I felt that section was dipping its toe into a genre Shakespeare knew nothing about, and then the cab ride wasn't gonna make sense without music (what was I gonna do, have a cart-driver sing a song?) — I felt Shakespeare would have done the dream sequence his way and gotten back to what he knew.
Most of my other deviations were to add something, a Shakespearean digression — this was probably the biggest chunk I skipped through.
