Supposedly, Demetrius has spilled Lysander's blood until it is over his shoes. This phrase may be a reference to the idiom “over shoes, over boots” which means to have gone so far into an endeavor that you have to go further.

This word could have one or more of three meanings. 1) To seize or grasp. 2) To capture. 3) To moisten or anoint.

Robin has both a specific and larger meaning to this sentence. Literally, he means that the briers and thorns caught the mechanicals' clothes as they ran away. In a larger sense, “from yielders all things catch” means that everything steals from or preys on those who surrender or are timid.

Robin is probably sarcastic when he calls Bottom “sweet”.
