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.

Where’s Peaseblossom? [5]
PEASEBLOSSOM
Ready.
BOT T OM
Scratch my head, Peaseblossom. Where’s Mounsieur Cobweb?
COBWEB
Ready.
BOT T OM
Mounsieur Cobweb, good mounsieur, get you [10] your weapons in your
hand, and kill me a red-hipped humble-bee on the top of a thistle; and
good mounsieur, bring me the honey-bag. Do not fret yourself too much in
the action, mounsieur; and good mounsieur, have a care the honey-bag
break not; I would be loath to have [15] you overflowen with a honey-bag,
signior. Where’s Mounsieur Mustardseed?
MUST ARDSEED
