_Tita._ Be kind and courteous to this gentleman; 150 Hop in his walks, and gambol in his eyes; Feed him with apricocks and dewberries, With purple grapes, green figs, and mulberries; The honey-bags steal from the humble-bees, And for night-tapers crop their waxen thighs, 155 And light them at the fiery glow-worm’s eyes, To have my love to bed and to arise; And pluck the wings from painted butterflies To fan the moonbeams from his sleeping eyes: Nod to him, elves, and do him courtesies. 160 _First Fai._ Hail, mortal! _Sec. Fai._ Hail! _Third Fai._ Hail! _Fourth Fai._ Hail! _Bot._ I cry your worships mercy, heartily: I beseech 165 your worship’s name. _Cob._ Cobweb. _Bot._ I shall desire you of more acquaintance, good Master Cobweb: if I cut my finger, I shall make bold with you. Your name, honest gentleman? 170 _Peas._ Peaseblossom. _Bot._ I pray you, commend me to Mistress Squash, your mother, and to Master Peascod, your father. Good Master Peaseblossom, I shall desire you of more acquaintance too. Your name, I beseech you, sir? 175 _Mus._ Mustardseed. _Bot._ Good Master Mustardseed, I know your patience well: that same cowardly, giant-like ox-beef hath devoured many a gentleman of your house: I promise you your kindred hath made my eyes water ere now. I desire 180 your more acquaintance, good Master Mustardseed. _Tita._ Come, wait upon him; lead him to my bower. The moon methinks looks with a watery eye; And when she weeps, weeps every little flower, Lamenting some enforced chastity. 185 Tie up my love’s tongue, bring him silently.
