On the ground Sleep sound. I’ll apply To your eye, Gentle lover, remedy. 117 A Midsummer Night’s Dream ACT 3. SC. Robin applies the nectar to Lysander’s eyes. When thou wak’st, Thou tak’st True delight In the sight Of thy former lady’s eye. And the country proverb known, That every man should take his own, In your waking shall be shown. Jack shall have Jill; Naught shall go ill; The man shall have his mare again, and all shall be well. He exits. With the four lovers still asleep onstage, enter Titania, Queen of Fairies, and Bottom and Fairies, and Oberon, the King, behind them unseen by those onstage.
