Reading edition
Enter Oberon.
Ob. I wonder if Titania be awak'd: Then what it was that next came in her eye, Which she must doat on in extremity?
Enter Puck.
Here comes my messenger! how now, mad sprite! What night-rule now about this haunted grove?
Puck. My mistress with a mortal is in love.
Ob. This falls out well and fortunate in truth; Now to my Queen, and beg her Indian youth: And then I will her charmed eye release From mortals view, and all things shall be peace. Away, away, make no delay, We may effect this business yet ere day. [Exit Puck.
AIR.
Up and down, up and down, We will trip it up and down. We will go through field and town, We will trip it up and down.
[Exit Oberon.
