Every one lets forth his sprite, In the church-way paths to glide: Enter Oberon and Titania, with their Train. Obe. Through this house give glimmering light, By the dead and drowsy fire: Every elf, and fairy sprite, Hop as light as bird from brier; And this ditty, after me, Sing, and dance it trippingly. Tita. First, rehearse this song by rote: SONG, AND DANCE. Obe. Now, until the break of day, And the blots of nature's hand Shall upon their children be.— And each several chamber bless, And the owner of it blest. Trip away; Make no stay; Meet me all by break of day. [Exeunt Oberon, Titania, and Train. Puck. If we shadows have offended, That you have but slumber'd here, Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue, Else the Puck a liar call. So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends. [Exit. |
