From A Midsummer Night's Dream Act V SceneA
-
PUCK singsB
NOW the hungry lion roarsC
And the wolf behowls the moonD
Whilst the heavy ploughman snoresC
All with weary task fordoneD
Now the wasted brands do glowE
Whilst the screech owl screeching loudF
Puts the wretch that lies in woeE
In remembrance of a shroudF
Now it is the time of nightG
That the graves all gaping wideH
Every one lets forth his spriteG
In the churchway paths to glideH
And we fairies that do runD
By the triple Hecate's teamI
From the presence of the sunD
Following darkness like a dreamI
Now are frolic not a mouseC
Shall disturb this hallowed houseC
I am sent with broom beforeJ
To sweep the dust behind the doorJ

William Shakespeare
