A
MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
by William Shakespeare
Act 2, Scene 1
TITANIA:
...But she, being mortal, of that boy did die;
And for her sake do I rear up her boy,
And for her sake I will not part with him.
OBERON:
How long within this wood intend you stay?
TITANIA:
Perchance till after Theseus' wedding-day.
If you will patiently dance in our round
And see our moonlight revels, go with us;
If not, shun me, and I will spare your haunts.
OBERON:
Give me that boy, and I will go with thee.
TITANIA:
Not for thy fairy kingdom. Fairies, away!
We shall chide downright, if I longer stay.
[Exit
Titania]
Artist: Arthur Rackham 1899
