A Midsummer Night's Dream
When is “fairy time”?
A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare
A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare
Fairy time occurs shortly after midnight.
The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve.
Lovers, to bed. 'Tis almost fairy time.
I fear we shall outsleep the coming morn
As much as we this night have overwatched.
This palpable-gross play hath well beguiled
The heavy gait of night. Sweet friends, to bed.
A fortnight hold we this solemnity,
In nightly revels and new jollity.
A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act V, Scene I
Which time comeing fairy at night
