And rock the ground whereon these sleepers be.
Now thou and I are new in amity,93
And will to-morrow midnight solemnly
Dance in Duke Theseus' house triumphantly,
And bless it to all fair prosperity.96
There shall the pairs of faithful lovers be
Wedded, with Theseus, all in jollity.
Puck. Fairy king, attend, and mark:
Puck. I do hear the morning lark.100
Obe. Then, my queen, in silence sad,
Obe. Trip we after the night's shade;
Obe. We the globe can compass soon,
Obe. Swifter than the wandering moon.104
Tita. Come, my lord; and in our flight
Tita. Tell me how it came this night
Tita. That I sleeping here was found
Tita. With these mortals on the ground.108
Sleepers lie still. Exeunt [Fairies]. Wind Horns.
Enter Theseus, Hippolyta, Egeus, and all his train.The. Go, one of you, find out the forester;
For now our observation is perform'd;
And since we have the vaward of the day,
My love shall hear the music of my hounds.112
Uncouple in the western valley; let them go:
Dispatch, I say, and find the forester.
We will, fair queen, up to the mountain's top,
And mark the musical confusion116
Of hounds and echo in conjunction.
Hip. I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bay'd the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear120
95 triumphantly: festively
108 S. d. Wind: blow
110 observation: observance of the rites of May Day
111 vaward: early part
113 Uncouple: unleash them
114 Dispatch: make haste
119 bay'd: brought to bay
