A
Fairy Dialogue Extract
OBERON: I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with their purple dye,
While I with my kids at show, I do offhandly present
Some of your favourite fairies to my realm,
And tell them of your love, your fairies’ love,
And of your sweet and gentle spirit.
PUCK: What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?
And makes me think I am not free?
What strawberry thief dares to steal my bloom?
Or what small sprite in fairy guise
Doth mock my gentle fairy prize?
OBERON: Thou speakest of love, but knowest not
How love’s sweet venom bides in every thought.
That thou, with thy mischief, dost infect
The gentle hearts of mortals and fairies.
PUCK: I prithee, Oberon, mark my words,
Ere thou dost speak, for in this fairy realm
Nothing is as it seems, and all is changed.
OBERON: Then let us watch; and, in our silent gaze,
Observe the subtle workings of their love,
And perhaps correct the errors of their hearts.
PUCK: Aye, let us hide in shadows, unseen,
And see how lovers’ folly doth commence.
(They hide)
KING OF FAIRIES: Hark, the changeful moon doth wax and wane,
And I, in thy fair power, do rejoice;
But heed: mischief lurks in every shadow.
FAIRY 1: Come, let us dance, for night is young,
And fairy song doth fill the air,
While in the woods, love's mistaken hues
Create confusion everywhere.
FAIRY 2: We must be cautious, lest our mischief
Turn to sorrow, and the day reveal
The secrets that we thought concealed.
OBERON: Now, all is set; observe the play,
And let the magic weave its spell.
