Now, until the break of day,
Trough this house each fairy stray.
To the best bride-bed will we,
Which by us shall blessed 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 theire issue stand;
Never mole, hare-lip, nor scar,
Nor mark prodigious such as are
Despised in nativity,
Shall upon their children be.
With this field-dew consecrate,
Ever fairy take this gait,
And each several chamber bless,
Through this palace with sweet peace;
An the owner of it blest
Ever shall in safty rest.
Trip away; Make me stay;
Meet me all by break of day.

 

William Shakespeare

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Oberon End of Act V, Scene I
