_Obe._ [_Advancing_] Welcome, good Robin. See’st thou this sweet sight? Her dotage now I do begin to pity: For, meeting her of late behind the wood, 45 Seeking sweet favours for this hateful fool, I did upbraid her, and fall out with her; For she his hairy temples then had rounded With coronet of fresh and fragrant flowers; And that same dew, which sometime on the buds 50 Was wont to swell, like round and orient pearls, Stood now within the pretty flowerets’ eyes, Like tears, that did their own disgrace bewail. When I had at my pleasure taunted her, And she in mild terms begg’d my patience, 55 I then did ask of her her changeling child; Which straight she gave me, and her fairy sent To bear him to my bower in fairy land. And now I have the boy, I will undo This hateful imperfection of her eyes: 60 And, gentle Puck, take this transformed scalp From off the head of this Athenian swain; That, he awaking when the other do, May all to Athens back again repair, And think no more of this night’s accidents, 65 But as the fierce vexation of a dream. But first I will release the fairy queen. Be as thou wast wont to be; See as thou wast wont to see: Dian’s bud o’er Cupid’s flower 70 Hath such force and blessed power. Now, my Titania; wake you, my sweet queen. _Tita._ My Oberon! what visions have I seen! Methought I was enamour’d of an ass. _Obe._ There lies your love. _Tita._ How came these things to pass? 75 O, how mine eyes do loathe his visage now! _Obe._ Silence awhile. Robin, take off this head. Titania, music call; and strike more dead Than common sleep of all these five the sense. _Tita._ Music, ho! music, such as charmeth sleep! 80 [_Music, still._ _Puck._ Now, when thou wakest, with thine own fool’s eyes peep. _Obe._ Sound, 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 85 Dance in Duke Theseus’ house triumphantly, And bless it to all fair prosperity: There shall the pairs of faithful lovers be Wedded, with Theseus, all in jollity. _Puck._ Fairy king, attend, and mark: 90 I do hear the morning lark. _Obe._ Then, my queen, in silence sad, Trip we after the night’s shade: We the globe can compass soon, Swifter than the wandering moon. 95 _Tita._ 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._ [_Horns winded within._ _Enter_ THESEUS, HIPPOLYTA, EGEUS, _and train_.
