SCENE The Wood and Bower.


Enter Queen of Fairies, Bottom; Fairies attending and the King
behind them.

Queen. Come, sit thee down upon this flowery bed.
Say wilt thou hear some music sweet dove.

Bot. I have a reasonable good ear in music.

DUET. By 1st and 2d Fairy.

Welcome, welcome to this place,
Favorite of the Fairy Queen;
Zephyrs, play around his face,
Wash, ye dews, his graceful mien.

Pluck the wings from butterflies,
To fan the moon-beams from his eyes;
Round him in eternal spring
Grashoppers and crickets sing.

By the spangled starlight sheen,
Nature's joy he walks the green;
