Mermaids




Oberon:
My gentle Puck, come hither,
Thou rememberest since
Once I sat upon a promontory,
And heard a mermaid on a  dolphin's back
Offering such dulcet and harmonious breath
That the rude sea grew civil at her song,
And certain stars shot madly from their spheres
To hear the sea-maid's music?


Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night's Dream excerpt
