If we shadows have offended
Think but this, and all is mended
That you have but slumber’d here
WHile these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme
No more yielding but a dream.
Gentles, do not reprehend:
If you pardon, we will mend.
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
now to 'scape the serpent's tongue
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call:
So good night unto you all.
Give me your hands
if we be friends
And Robin shall restore amends.
