Henry IV., Act 1, Sc. 3.

ELVES.

Ye elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes, and groves;

And ye that on the sand, with printless feet,

Do chase the ebbing Neptune, and do fly him

When he comes back; you demi-puppets that

By moonshine do the green, sour ringlets make,

Whereof the ewe bites not; and you whose pastime

Is to make midnight-mushrooms; that rejoice

To hear the solemn curfew, * * *
