What can we do?
Can I not break my fairy vows and tell?
TITANIA
No, no; you cannot, even if you would,
Convey our fairy lore to mortal ears.
When have they heard our honeysuckle bugles
Blowing reveille to the crimson dawn?
We can but speak by dreams; and, if you spoke,
They'd whip you, for your words would all ring false
Like sweet bells out of tune.
SHADOW-OF-A-LEAF
What can we do?
TITANIA
Nothing, except on pain of death, to stay
The course of Time and Tide. There's Oberon!
SHADOW-OF-A-LEAF
Oberon!
