00:00 Come now, spirit, with the wonder you know.
00:02 Of a hill, of a dale, thorough bush, thorough brier,
00:04 Of a park, of a pail, thorough flood, thorough fire,
00:07 I do wonder everywhere, swifter than the moon's sphere.
00:10 And I serve the fairy queen, to do her orbs upon the green.
00:14 The cow slips taller, pensioners be,
00:16 In their gold-coat spot you'll see.
00:18 Those be rubies, fairy fables,
00:20 In the sweat-cloth lay their savours.
00:22 I must go seek some two drops here,
00:23 And tang a pearl in every cow-slip's ear.
00:25 Farewell, thou lovely spirit, I'll be gone.
00:28 A queen and all her elves come here anon.

01:10 The king doth keep his revels here to-night.
01:13 Take heed, the queen come not within his sight.
01:16 For Oberon is passing fel and wrath,
01:19 Because that she, as her attendant hath,
01:21 A lovely boy stolen from an Indian king.
01:24 She never had so sweet a chanceling,
01:27 And jealous Oberon would have the child,
01:30 Knight of his train, to trace the forest's wold.
01:33 But she perforce withholds the loved boy,
01:36 Crowns him with flowers, and makes him all her joy.
01:39 If I mistake the shape of making quite,
01:42 What else shall that shrewd and navy sprite
01:44 Call Robin Goodfellow?
01:45 Thou speak'st aright, I am that merry wanderer of the night.
01:48 I jest to Oberon, and make him smile,
01:50 When I have fat and been fed, horse beguile,
01:53 Neighing in likeness of a filly foal,
01:55 And sometimes lurk I in a gossip's bowl,
01:58 In very likeness of a roasted crab,
02:00 And when she drinks, against her lips I bob,
02:03 And on her withered julep pour the ale,
02:06 The wisest aunt telling the saddest tale,
02:08 Sometimes the three-foot stall mistaketh me,
02:11 Then slip I from her bum, thou topple she,
02:14 But room, fairy, here comes Oberon.
02:16 Well met by moonlight and proud Titania.
02:19 What, jealous Oberon?
02:22 Fairest skip, hence I have forsworn his bed and company.
02:27 Carry, rash wanton, am not I thy lord?
02:31 Then I must be thy lady.
