15581497O how I loue thee! how I dote on thee!

15601499Ob. Welcome good Robin. Seest thou this sweete sight?

15621500Her dotage now I doe beginne to pittie.

15631501For meeting her of late, behinde the wood,

15641502Seeking sweete fauours for this hatefull foole,

15651503I did vpbraid her, and fall out with her.

15661504For she his hairy temples then had rounded,

15671505With coronet of fresh and fragrant flowers.

15681506And that same deawe which sometime on the buddes,

15691507Was wont to swell, like round and orient pearles;

15701508Stood now within the pretty flouriets eyes,

15711509Like teares, that did their owne disgrace bewaile.

15721510When I had, at my pleasure, taunted her,

15731511And she, in milde tearmes, begd my patience,

15741512I then did aske of her, her changeling childe:

15751513Which straight she gaue mee, and her Fairy sent

15761514To beare him, to my bower, in Fairie land.

15771515And now I haue the boy, I will vndoe

15781516This hatefull imperfection of her eyes.

15791517And, gentle Puck, take this transformed scalpe,

15801518From of the heade of this Athenian swaine;

15811519That hee, awaking when the other do,

15821520May all to Athens backe againe repaire,

15831521And thinke no more of this nights accidents,

15841522But as the fearce vexation of a dreame.

15851523But first I will release the Fairy Queene.

15901528Now, my Titania, wake you, my sweete Queene.

15911529Tita. My Oberon, what visions haue I seene!

15921530Me thought I was enamourd of an Asse.

15931531Ob. There lyes your loue.
