Humble-bee doing Titania's bidding

"Be kind and courteous to this gentleman;
Hop in his walks and gambol in his eyes;
Feed him with apricocks and dewberries,
With purple grapes, green figs, and mulberries;
The honey-bags steal from the humble-bees,
And for night-tapers crop their waxen thighs
And light them at the fiery glow-worm's eyes,
To have my love to bed and to arise;
And pluck the wings from Painted butterflies
To fan the moonbeams from his sleeping eyes:
Nod to him, elves, and do him courtesies."


Yes, we did watch last night's Sky Arts film of the Globe Theatre Production. Raucous as it would have been back in the day. To my mind, the actress playing Puck stole the show. A stellar performance.

The bee is in our garden by the way.
