I'll search the wood, and sharpest thistles stick Under his clothes, to vex his flesh profane : I'll make his bold cheek tingle red with shame, For daring on our mystic rites to gaze. TITANIA. Stay ! look ! oh look !— it is a lovely Boy ; How peacefully he sleeps, while on his face The moonbeams play — sure some enchanting dream, All full of sunshine, holds him captive now, For see, he smiles —how softly ! Oberon, It was but yesternight, we joyful held The Midsummer Night. 21 Our feast of recon...cilement — shall it be That our first act, united, is revenge ? Is not this Boy as beauteous as a Child Of Fairy-land ? Shall we misuse the power That we are gifted with, to work him ill ? Nay — how much better, how much nobler 'twere, Worthier of spirits good, our might t' employ, For good alone. Is not the feeling sweet, Unspeakably, when we may furtherers be Of happiness, to any ? Is it not This same most holy feeling, that makes men Grow to resemble gods ? Then, Oberon, My Lord — my love — yield to my pleading now ; Let us, instead of harming, send him hence Enriched with blessings.
