how do you cite play lines into an essay?
okay. so i am writing an essay and i want to include the quote...
“Steal forth thy father’s house tomorrow night,
And in the wood, a league without the town,
There will I stay for thee.”
But in between the second and third line come two other lines spoken by the same person. How would i properly cite this. This is from act 1, scene 1, and lines 164-165 and 168.

You use the citation you've used here: Act 1, Scene 1, 164-165, 168.
You use an ellipsis (. . .) to indicate where you've left out some words from the character's speech:
Steal forth thy father’s house tomorrow night,
And in the wood, a league without the town . . .
There will I stay for thee.
