• A Midsummer Night's Dream - Come, now a roundel, and a fairy song

LSO, dir. Sir Colin Davis / Sylvia McNair (soprano)

Come now, a roundel and a fairy song.
Then for the third part of a minute, hence—
Some to kill cankers in the musk-rose buds,
Some war with reremice for their leathern wings
To make my small elves coats, and some keep back
The clamorous owl that nightly hoots and wonders
At our quaint spirits. Sing me now asleep.
Then to your offices and let me rest.
