Who also fain would only live in souls,

And make them dance upon a puppet’s stage.

Their magic charm would be completely lost.

Dame Balde:

I surely have been silent long enough.

But speak I will, if thou art going to cast

Thy mystic mood upon my fairy sprites.

They would indeed enjoy to have their power

Drawn out of them, that they might be brought up

And suckled fresh with mysticism’s milk.
