{{quote| '''Puck''': ''Now it is the time of night<br />
That the graves all gaping wide,<br />
Every one lets forth his sprite,<br />
In the church-way paths to glide:<br />
And we fairies, that do run<br />
By the triple Hecate's team,<br />
From the presence of the sun,<br />
Following darkness like a dream,<br />
Now are frolic:'' }}
