Where they swung in their cobweb hammocks high, And rock'd about in the evening breeze ; Some from the hum-bird's downy nest — They had driven him out by eltin power.
And pillowed on plumes of his rainbow breast, Had slumbered there till the charmed hour ; Some had lain in the scoop of the rock, With glittering ising-^tars inlaid ; And some had opened the four o'clock, And stole within its purple shade.
And now they throng the moonlight glade.
Above — below — on every side.
Their little minim f...orms arrayed In the tricksy pomp of fairy pride ! " Drake's Culprit Fay.

Titania. From Ben Jonson's day to the present Shakespeare's Latin scholarship has not heen highly rated, but it would appear that he took this name from the original text of his Ovid, where it is used more than once to designate a goddess of Titan descent. Golding's translation does nou keep the term. It may seem a trifle absurd to look upon her tiny Majesty as a daughter of the giant race, one may suspect that the mere music of the name, with its elfin trip of sylla- bles, was what appealed to Shakespeare, but remembering that the Queene of Faery was actually confused with Proserpina, we submit to the learning of the commentators.
