Rh ::And I serve the fairy queen,
 * To dew her orbs upon the green.
 * The cowslips tall her pensioners be:
 * In their gold coats spots you see;
 * Those be rubies, fairy favours,
 * In those freckles live their savours:

I must go seek some dewdrops here

And hang a pearl in every cowslip’s ear.

Farewell, thou lob of spirits; I’ll be gone:

Our queen and all our elves come here anon.

The king doth keep his revels here to-night:

Take heed the queen come not within his sight;

For Oberon is passing fell and wrath,

Because that she as her attendant hath

A lovely boy, stolen from an Indian king;
