541518In maiden meditation, fancy free.

542519Yet markt I, where the bolt of Cupid fell.

543520It fell vpon a little westerne flower;

544521Before, milke white; now purple, with loues wound,

545522And maidens call it, Loue in idlenesse.

546523Fetch mee that flowre: the herbe I shewed thee once.

547524The iewce of it, on sleeping eyeliddes laide,

548525Will make or man or woman madly dote,

549526Vpon the next liue creature that it sees.

550527Fetch mee this herbe, and be thou here againe

551528Ere the Leuiathan can swimme a league.

552529Pu. Ile put a girdle, roūd about the earth, in forty minutes.

554530Oberon. Hauing once this iuice,

555531Ile watch Titania, when she is a sleepe,

556532And droppe the liquor of it, in her eyes:

557533The next thing then she, waking, lookes vpon

558534(Be it on Lyon, Beare, or Wolfe, or Bull,

559535On medling Monky, or on busie Ape)

560536She shall pursue it, with the soule of Loue.

561537And ere I take this charme, from of her sight

562538(As I can take it with another herbe)

563539Ile make her render vp her Page, to mee.

564540But, who comes here? I am inuisible,

565541And I will ouerheare their conference.

567543Deme. I loue thee not: therefore pursue me not,

568544Where is Lysander, and faire Hermia?

569545The one Ile stay: the other stayeth me.

570546Thou toldst me, they were stolne vnto this wood:

571547And here am I, and wodde, within this wood:

572548Because I cannot meete my Hermia.

573549Hence, get the gone, and follow mee no more.

574550Hel. You draw mee, you hard hearted Adamant:

575551But yet you draw not Iron. For my heart

576552Is true as steele. Leaue you your power to draw,
