OBERON
15
(squeezing flower juice on TITANIA
's eyelids)
What thou seest when thou dost wake,
Do it for thy true love take.
Love and languish for his sake.
Be it ounce or cat or bear,
20
Pard or boar with bristled hair,
In thy eye that shall appear,
When thou wakest, it is thy dear.
Wake when some vile thing is near.
OBERON
(he squeezes flower juice on
TITANIA 's eyelids)
Whatever you see first when you wake up, think of it as your true
love. Love him and yearn for him, even if he's a lynx, a
cat, a bear, a leopard, or a wild boar. Whatever's there
when you wake up will be dear to you. Wake up when something nasty
is nearby.

Fair love, you faint with wandering in the wood.

And to speak troth, I have forgot our way.
LYSANDER
My love, you look like you're about to faint from
wandering in the woods for so long, and to tell you the truth,
I've gotten us lost. We'll take a rest, if you
think
