Nymphidia, that this while doth watch, Perceived if Puck the Queen should catch That he should be her over-match. Of which she well bethought her ; Found it must be some powerful charm, The Queen against him that must arm, Or surely he would do her harm. For throughly he had sought her. Nymphidia 137 And listening if she aught could hear, That her might hinder, or might fear ; But finding sDill the coast was clear ; Nor creature had descried her ; Each circumstance and having scanned, She came ...thereby to understand, Puck would be with them out of hand ; When to her charms she hied her. And first her fern-seed doth bestow, The kernel of the mistletoe ; And here and there as Puck should go. With terror to afi"right him, She night-shade strews to work him ill. Therewith her vervain and her dill. That hindereth witches of their will, Of purpose to despite him. Then sprinkles she the juice of rue. That groweth underneath the yew; With nine drops of the midnight dew, From lunary distilling : The mole warp's brain mixed therewithal ; And with the same the pismire's gall : For she in nothing short woidd fall, The Fairy was so willing.
