ΤΙΤΑΝΙΑ.

Titania. My Oberon! what visions have I seen!

Methought I was enamour'd of an ass.

Oberon. There lies your love.

Titania.

How came these things to pass?

O, how mine eyes do loathe his visage now!

Oberon. Silence, awhile.-Robin, take off this head.-

Titania, music call; and strike more dead

Than common sleep, of all these five the sense.

Titania. Music, ho! music: such as charmeth sleep.

Puck. Now, when thou wak'st, with thine own fool's eyes peep. Oberon. Sound, music, [Still music.] Come, my queen, take

hands with me,

And rock the ground whereon these sleepers be.

Now thou and I are new in amity;

And will, to-morrow midnight, solemnly,

Dance in Duke Theseus' house triumphantly,

And bless it to all fair posterity:

There shall the pairs of faithful lovers be

Wedded, with Theseus, all in jollity.

Puck. Fairy king, attend and mark;

I do hear the morning lark.

Oberon. Then, my queen, in silence sad,

Trip we after the night's shade:

We the globe can compass soon,

Swifter than the wand'ring moon.

Titania. Come, my lord; and in our flight,

Tell me how it came this night,

That I sleeping here was found,

With these mortals on the ground.

[Exeunt.
