Crowns him with flowers and makes him all her joy:

PUCK How now, spirit! Whither wander you?

FAIRY Over hill, over dale,
Through bush, through briar,
Over park, over pale,
Through flood, through fire,
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon’s sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green.
Farwell, thou lob of spirits; I’ll be gone:
Our queen and all our elves come here anon.
