Titania's Speech
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Set your heart at rest! | The Fairyland buys not the child of me. |
His mother was a vot'ress of my order | and, in the spiced Indian air by night, |
full often hath she gossip'd by my side, | and sat with me on Neptune's yellow sands, |
marking th' embarked traders on the flood, | when we have laugh'd to see the sails conceive |
and grow big-bellied with the wanton wind; | which she, with pretty and with swimming gait |
following,-her womb then rich with my young squire,- | would imitate, and sail upon the land, |
To fetch me trifles, and return again, | as from a voyage, rich with merchandise. |
But she, being mortal, of that boy did die; | And for her sake do I rear up her boy, |
And for her sake, I will not part with him. | Fin. |
