So, even though it's the middle of a middle-of-winter afternoon, here's Puck's closing monologue from Midsummer Night's Dream:
__________________________________
From A Midsummer
Night’s Dream, Act 5, Scene 1
By
William Shakespeare
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.
