PUCK . Yet but three ? Come one more . Two of both kinds makes up four . Here she comes , curst and sad . Cupid is a knavish lad Thus to make poor females mad . Enter Hermia . HERMIA . Never so weary , never so in woe , Bedabbled with the dew , and torn with briers , I can no further crawl , no further go ; My legs can keep no pace with my desires . Here will I rest me till the break of day . Heavens shield Lysander , if they mean a fray ! [ Lies down . ] PUCK . On the ground Sleep sound . I’ll apply To your eye , Gentle lover , remedy . [ Squeezing the juice on Lysander’s eye . ] When thou wak’st , Thou tak’st True delight In the sight Of thy former lady’s eye . And the country proverb known , That every man should take his own , In your waking shall be shown : Jack shall have Jill ; Nought shall go ill ; The man shall have his mare again , and all shall be well . [ Exit Puck . ] ACT IV SCENE I . The Wood Lysander , Demetrius , Helena and Hermia still asleep . Enter Titania and Bottom ; Peaseblossom , Cobweb , Moth , Mustardseed and other Fairies attending ; Oberon behind , unseen . TITANIA . Come , sit thee down upon this flowery bed , While I thy amiable cheeks do coy , And stick musk - roses in thy sleek smooth head , And kiss thy fair large ears , my gentle joy . BOTTOM . Where’s Peaseblossom ? PEASEBLOSSOM . Ready . BOTTOM . Scratch my head , Peaseblossom . Where’s Monsieur Cobweb ? COBWEB . Ready . BOTTOM . Monsieur Cobweb ; good monsieur , get you your weapons in your hand and kill me a red - hipped humble - bee on the top of a thistle ; and , good monsieur , bring me the honey - bag . Do not fret yourself too much in the action , monsieur ; and , good monsieur , have a care the honey - bag break not ; I would be loath to have you overflown with a honey - bag , signior . Where’s Monsieur Mustardseed ? MUSTARDSEED . Ready . BOTTOM . Give me your neaf , Monsieur Mustardseed . Pray you , leave your courtesy , good monsieur . MUSTARDSEED . What’s your will ? BOTTOM . Nothing , good monsieur , but to help Cavalery Cobweb to scratch . I must to the barber’s , monsieur , for methinks I am marvellous hairy about the face ; and I am such a tender ass , if my hair do but tickle me , I must scratch . TITANIA . What , wilt thou hear some music , my sweet love ? BOTTOM . I have a reasonable good ear in music . Let us have the tongs and the bones . TITANIA . Or say , sweet love , what thou desirest to eat . BOTTOM . Truly , a peck of provender ; I could munch your good dry oats . Methinks I have a great desire to a bottle of hay : good hay , sweet hay , hath no fellow . TITANIA . I have a venturous fairy that shall seek The squirrel’s hoard , and fetch thee new nuts . BOTTOM . I had rather have a handful or two of dried peas . But , I pray you , let none of your people stir me ; I have an exposition of sleep come upon me .
