If we shadows have offended
Think but this, and all is mended
That you have but slumbered here
While this vision 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 I have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue
We will make amends ere long
Else the Puck a liar call

And so Good Night unto you all
Give me your hands if we be friends
And Robin shall restore amends.

- Puck's closing soliloquy from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' by William Shakespeare
