VERSION ORIGINALE ELVES: Light as fairy foot can fall, pace, ye elves, your master's hall; all too loud the fountains play, all too loud the zephyrs sigh! Chase the noisy gnat away! Keep the bee from humming by! Stretch'd upon his lily bed, Oberon in slumber lies; sleep, at length, her balm hath shed o'er his long-unclosed eyes. O may her spell as kindly bring peace to the heart of the fairy king! Light as fairy foot can fall, pace, ye elves, your master's hall; all too loud the fountains play, all too loud the zephyrs sigh! NARRATOR: We hear a fairy chorus, the setting is a bower That glitters with enchantment in this most magic hour; But I have to tell you all, it’s not quite what it seems For this is not a version of Shakespeare’s famous “Dream”. Oberon is in it – dah! His name is on the thing – And, as in the original, Puck serves the fairy king. It’s more a “franchise spinoff”, or – you’re going to curse – A story from the Shakespeare “Extended Universe”.
