Oberon's speech, A Midsummer Night's Dream, ACT II SCENE I...
Enter Puck.
Oberon: Hast though the flower there? Welcome, wanderer.
Puck: Ay, there it is.
Oberon: I pray thee, give it me.
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlip and the nodding violet grows,
Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk roses, and with eglantine.
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lulled in these flowers with dances and delight;
And there the snake throws her enamelled skin,
Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in...

Midsummer, so soon. But plenty of long, lazy summer evenings to go.
