: |
An image of the sublime closing chorus to A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Now until the break of day,
Through this house each Fairy stray.
To the best bride-bed will we,
Which by us shall blessed be …
With this field-dew consecrate,
Every Fairy take his gait,
And each several chamber bless,
Through this palace with sweet peace …
Trip away;
Make no stay;
Meet me all by break of day.
Shakespeare, adapted by Britten and Pears
