Enter Oberon, and Fairies dancing before him; and Music with them.
Maria. O me! what shapes are these?
Ober. Stay, stay, Maria.
Maria. My sovereign lord awake, save poor Maria.
Ober. He cannot save thee: save that pain;
Before he wake, thou shalt be slain:
His mother's hand shall stop thy breath,
Thinking her own son is done to death:
And she that takes away thy life,
Does it to be thy husband's wife:
Adieu, Maria, we must hence:
Embrace thine end with patience.
Elves and fairies make no stand,
Till you come in fairyland.
[Exeunt dancing and singing.
Maria. Fairies or devils, whatsoe'er you be,
Thus will I hide me from your company.
[Offers to go.
SCENE III.
