SCENE II. Enter Puck.


Welcome, wanderer, hast thou the flower there?

PUCK
Ay, there it is.

OBERON.
I pray thee give it me;
I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows,
There sleeps Titania, some time of the night;
I with the juice of this will streak her eyes,
And make her full of hateful fantasies.
Take thou some of it, and seek thro' this grove;
A sweet Athenian lady is in love
With a disdainful youth; anoint his eyes,
But do it when the next thing he espies

-- 24 --


May be the Lady. Thou shalt know the man,
By the Athenian garments he hath on.
Effect it with some care, that he may prove
More fond of her, than she upon her love. [Exit.
