The Course Of True Love
04:31
|
|

|
The course of true love
Never did run smooth
Oh spite to old
To be engaged to young.
Oh Hell, to choose love by another's eye
Swift as the shadow
Short as any dream
Brief as the lighting
Suddenly seen
The jaws of darkness devour it up
If then true lovers have been crossed
Oh cross to high to be enthralled to low
As due to love as thoughts and sighs
Wishes and tears and goodbyes
Helena:
How happy some o'er other some can be!
Through Athens I am thought as fair as she.
But what of that? Dominic thinks not so;
He will not know what all but he do know.
And as he errs, doting on Mia's eyes,
So I err, admiring his qualities.
Things base and vile, folding no quantity,
Love can transpose to form and dignity.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste;
Wings, and no eyes, figure unheedy haste.
And therefore is Love said to be a child,
Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.
For ere Dominic looked on Mia's eye,
He hailed down oaths that he was only mine;
And when this hail some heat from Mia felt,
So he dissolved, and show'rs of oaths did melt.
I will go tell him of fair Mia's flight.
And then to the woods will he tomorrow night
Pursue her; and for this intelligence
If I have thanks, it is a dear expense.
But herein mean I to enrich my pain,
To have his sight thither and back again.
If then true lovers had been crossed
True love did never run smooth

Titania's Lullaby
07:47

You spotted snake with double tounge, thorny hedgehogs be not seen
Newts and blinds worms do no wrong, do no wrong
Weaving spiders come not here, you long-legged spinners hence
Beetles blacks approach not near, worm nor snail offense
Philomel with melody sing in our sweet lullaby
Come not near our fairy queen, lullaby
Philomel with melody sing in our sweet lullaby
Never harm nor spell nor charm, lullaby
Philomel with melody sing in our sweet lullaby
Come our lovely lady nigh so goodnight with, lullaby
I saw Cupid loose from his bow
Turn a flower purple that was once white as snow
Juice from that flower on those eyes that dream
Will make the sleeper wake to love the next thing it sees
There is a bank where wild thyme blows
There sleeps Titania lulled in flowers and dances
We'll streak her eyes with this juice and make her full of hateful fantasies
I'll put a drop of it in Titania's eyes, when she sleeps
She'll pursue the next thing that she sees
When she wakes whether a lion, bear, a wolf, or a bull
Before I lift this charm I'll make her give up the boy
There is a bank where wild thyme blows
There is a bank where wild thyme blows
There sleeps Titania lulled in flowers and dances
There is a bank where wild thyme blows
There is a bank where wild thyme blows
What you see when you awake, do it for your true love take
Love and languish for his sake
Be it boar with bristled hair
When you wake it shall appear
In your eye it is your dear
So wake when some vile thing is near
What you see when you awake, do it for your true love take

Lord what fools these mortals be
Begging for their remedy
Hit with Cupids archery
In the apple of their eye
When his love he doth espy
He lets her shine like Venus in the sky
And when you wake up
Beg for a remedy
Captain of our fairy band
Helen is here at hand
And the youth mistook by me
Pleading for a lovers fee
Shall we this fond pageant see
Lord what fools these mortals be
And those things please me
That befall preposterously

Sleep and I will wind thee in my arms
Fairies begone and be all ways away
So doth the woodbine
the sweet honeysuckle
Gently entwist the female ivy so
Sleep and I will wake thee from thy mossy bed
Dream of a lover’s sigh inside thy beauteous head
Oh how I love thee
How I dote upon thee

First rehearse, your song by rote
To each word a warbling note
Hand in hand, with fairy grace
Will we sing, and bless this place
All through the house give a glimmering light
By the dead and drowsy fire every elf and fairy sprite
We’ll dance and we’ll sing in the Midsummer Moon tonight, tonight.
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
All through the house give a glimmering light
By the dead and drowsy fire every elf and fairy sprite
We’ll dance and we’ll sing in the Midsummer Moon tonight, tonight
Children of, these lovers blest
Ever shall in safety rest
Trip away, make no stay
Meet me all by break of day
All through the house give a glimmering light
By the dead and drowsy fire every elf and fairy sprite
We’ll dance and we’ll sing in the Midsummer Moon tonight, tonight
I'll follow you, make a heaven of hell
To die by the hand that I love so well
The Midsummer Moon bids its finale farewell tonight, tonight

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber’d here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

Once upon a time on a Midsummer's night
There was a scary monster who was ready to fight
He lived in maze, a great big cave
All the heroes tried to fight him but were sent to their graves
Now there was this pretty princess she was stuck in this vault
She'd been captured by the monster though it wasn't her fault
Now who should roll up but my main man Theusus
Rollin' down the block in his dope new Prius
He swaggered toward the monster said, "What's up dude?
In case you haven't noticed, I'ma make you black and blue!"
Thesus saved the princess when he chopped off its head
But our thug gets bored quickly so he dumped her
On an island
In the middle of nowhere
Thesus keeps on rollin', finds an island full of women
He thinks that this is paradise but finds out they will kill him
With muscles to their left and muscles to their right,
They beat'cha to a pulp 'cause they lookin' for a fight
What What, What, What, What!
He thought the queen was fine, but she punched him in the face
He thought the queen was feisty so he took her anyways
