Un vecchio e un bambino si preser per mano
e andarono insieme incontro alla sera;
la polvere rossa si alzava lontano
e il sole brillava di luce non vera...

FAIRIES (singing)
Nightingale, melodiously
Sing our sweet lullaby.
Lulla, lulla, lullaby, lulla, lulla, lullaby.
Let no harm
Or spell or charm
Come near our lovely lady.
Say good night with a lullaby.
TITANIA falls asleep.
...
William Shakespeare
