SCENE VII. Enter Oberon and Queen from the wood.

QUEEN.
My Oberon! what visions have I seen!

OBERON.
Silence a-while;
Titania, musick call, and strike more dead
Than sleep, the sense of all these lovers.

QUEEN.
Musick, ho, musick; such as charmeth sleep.
AIR.
Orpheus with his lute made trees,
And the mountain-tops that freeze
  Bow themselves when he did sing:
To his musick, plants and flowers
Ever spring, as sun and showers
  There had made a lasting spring.

-- 45 --

OBERON.
Sound, musick; come, my Queen, take hand with me,
And rock the ground whereon these sleepers be. [Dance, and Exeunt.
