Titania: "Out of this wood do not desire to go:
Thou shalt remain here, whether thou wilt or no.
I am a spirit of no common rate;
The summer still doth tend upon my state;
And I do love thee: therefore, go with me;"

Make dust our paper, and with rainy eyes
Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth."

This is the fairy land: O, spite of spites!
 We talk with goblins, owls, and elvish sprites.
 If we obey them not, this will ensue,
 They'll suck our breath, and pinch us black and blue!
