Midsummer Monologue

Speech for the Stage

Over hill, over dale,

Thorough bush, thorough brier,

Over park, over pale,

Thorough ood, thorough re,

! do "ander ever#"here,

S"ifter than the moon$s sphere%

&nd ! serve the fair# queen,

To de" her orbs upon the green'

The co"slips tall her pensioners be(

!n their gold coats spots #ou see%

Those be rubies, fair# favours,

!n those freckles live their savours(

! must go seek some de"drops here

&nd hang a pearl in ever# co"slip$s ear'

)are"ell, thou lob of spirits% !$ll be gone(

Our queen and all our elves come here anon'
