And we Fairies, that do run
By the triple Hecate's team,
From the prefence of the fun,
Following darkness like a dream,
Now are frolick; not a mouse
Shall difturb this hallowed house.
I am fent with broom before,

To fweep the duft behind the door.

Enter King and Queen of Fairies, with their train

ob. Through the houfe give glimmering light, By the dead and drowfie fire,

Every elf and fairy fprite,

Hop as light as bird from brier, And this ditty after me

Sing, and dance it trippingly,

Queen. First rehearse this fong by roat,

To each word a warbling note.
Hand in hand, with fairy grace,
Will we fing and bless this place.'

The SON G.

Now until the break of day,
Through this house each Fairy stray.
To the best bride-bed will we,
Which by us fhall bleffed be:
And the iffue there create,
Ever fhall be fortunate;
So fhall all the couples three
Ever true in loving be:
And the blots of nature's hand
Shall not in their iffue ftand;
Never mole, hare-lip, nor fear,
Nor mark prodigious, such as are
Defpifed in nativity,

Shall upon their children be.
With this field-dew confecrate,

Every Fairy take his gate,

And

And each feveral chamber blefs,
Through this palace with fweet peace.
Ever fhall it fafely rest,

And the owner of it bleft.
Trip away, make no flay;
Meet me all by break of day.

Puck. If we, shadows, have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended;
That you have but flumbred here,.
While thefe vifions did appear.
And this weak and idle theam,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles do not reprehend;
If you pardon, we will mend.
And as I am honeft Puck,
If we have unearned luck

Now to 'fcape the ferpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long:
Elfe the Puck a liar call.

So good night unto you all.

Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin fhall reftore amends.
