myShakespeare | Midsummer Night's Dream 4.1 Performance: Oberon, Titania, Bottom Lines 70-83

Be as thou wast wont to be,

See as thou wast wont to see.

Dian's bud o'er Cupid's flower

Hath such force and blessèd power.

Now, my Titania, wake you, my sweet queen.

[Waking] My Oberon, what visions have I seen!

Methought I was enamored of an ass.

[Pointing to Bottom asleep nearby]

There lies your love.

How came these things to pass?

O, how mine eyes do loathe his visage now!

Silence awile – Robin, take off this head –

Titania, music call, and strike more dead

Than common sleep, of all these five, the sense.

Music, ho, music such as charmeth sleep.
