'DREAM'
Oberon: Hast thou the flower there? Welcome, wanderer.
Puck: Ay, there it is.
Oberon: I pray thee give it me.
Upon this bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Here sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight;
And with the juice of this I'll streak her eyes,
And make her full of…
Goblins: Hateful fantasies.
Oberon: Good Robin, take thou some of it, and seek
through this grove:
A sweet Athenian lady is in love
With a disdainful youth; anoint his eyes;
But do it when the next thing he espies
May be the lady. Thou shalt know the man
By the Athenian garments he hath on.
Puck: Fear not, my lord; your servant shall do so.
(Exit Puck)
Oberon: Now goblin charges, for your employ
In plans to gain my Indian boy.
Hob: Do you desire us to freeze the dew with unseasonal
frost?
Canker: Transform our making into that of a fierce
griffin on the wing?
Fungus: Issue forth a rank bog to ensnare him within?
Oberon: Why didst thou think Titania sought her bower?
But here to rest and repose the hours
Before the moon be full. This, my intent,
Needs the less of your ability, the more your argument…
