Now the wafted brands do glow,
Whilft the fcritch-owl, fcritching loud,
Puts the wretch that lyes in woe
In remembrance of a fhroud.
Now it is the time of night,

That the graves, all gaping wide,
Every one lets forth his fpright,
In the church-way paths to glide;
And we Fairies, that do run
By the triple Hecate's team,
From the presence of the fun,
Following darkness like a dream,
Now are frolick; not a mouse
Shall disturb this hallowed house.
I am fent with broom before,
To sweep the duft behind the door.

Enter King and Queen of Fairies, with their train.

Ob. Through the houfe give glimmering light.
By the dead and drowfie fire,

Every elf and fairy fprite,

Hop as light as bird from brier,

And this ditty after me

Sing, and dance it trippingly.

Queen. First rehearse this fong by roat,

To each word a warbling note.
Hand in hand, with fairy grace,

Will we fing and blefs this place.

So fhall all the couples three
Ever true in loving be:
And the blots of nature's hand
Shall not in their issue ftand;
Never mole, bare-lip, nor fear,'
Nor mark prodigious, fuch as are
Defpifed in nativity,

Shall upon their childrer be.
With this field-dew confecrate,
Every Fairy take his gate,
And each feveral chamber bless,
Through this palace, with fweet peace.
Ever fall it fafely reft,

And the owner of't be bleft.
Trip away then, make no stay;
Meet me all by break of day.

Puck. If we fhadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended;
That you have but slumber'd here,
While thefe vifions did appear.
And this weak and idle theam,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend;
If you pardon, we will mend.
And as I am honeft Puck,
If we have unearned luck

Now to 'fcape the ferpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long:
Elfe the Puck a liar call.

So, good night unto you all!

Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin fhall restore amends.

[Exeunt omnes.
