myShakespeare | Midsummer Night's Dream 3.2 Performance: Oberon and Puck Lines 102-121

Oberon

Flower of this purple dye
Hit with Cupid's archery,
Sink in apple of his eye.
[He drops the love juice on Demetrius’ eyelids]
When his love he doth espy,
Let her shine as gloriously
As the Venus of the sky.
When thou wakest, if she be by,
Beg of her for remedy.
[Re-enter Robin Goodfellow]

Robin

Captain of our fairy band,
Helena is here at hand,
And the youth mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be!

Oberon

Stand aside. The noise they make
Will cause Demetrius to awake.

Robin

Then will two at once woo one,
That must needs be sport alone .
And those things do best please me
That befall prepost'rously.
