Benevolent Oberon Suite

from A Little Midsummer Night's Music by GrooveLily

/

lyrics

Act III, Scene ii, Lines 102-109:
Flower of this purple dye,
Hit with Cupid's archery,
Sink in apple of his eye.
When his love he doth espy,
Let her shine as gloriously
As the Venus of the sky.
When thou wak'st, if she be by,
Beg of her for remedy.

Act IV, Scene i, Lines 69-72:
Be as thou wast wont to be;
See as thou wast wont to see.
Dian's bud o'er Cupid's flower
Hath such force and blessèd power.

Act V, Scene i, Lines 381-402:
Now until the break of day,
Through this house each fairy stray.
To the best bride-bed will we,
Which by us shall blessèd be.
And the issue there create
Ever shall be fortunate.
So shall all the couples three
Ever true in loving be;
And the blots of Nature's hand
Shall not in their issue stand.
Never [a] mole, harelip, nor scar,
Nor mark prodigious, such as are
Despisèd in nativity,
Shall upon their children be.
With this field-dew consecrate,
Every fairy take his gait,
And each several chamber bless
Through this palace, with sweet peace,
And the owner of it blest
Ever shall in safety rest.
Trip away; [and] Make no stay;
Meet me all by break of day.
