eath which has been pre-sented to her.)Im fair Titania, glad and gay.Thro the world unfetterd I blithely stray.With jocund heart and happy mien,I cheerily dance the hours away,Like the bird that freely wings its flight.Fairies dance around me,Elfin sprites on nimble toe around me gaily dance.For Im fair Titania! Both night and day. My attendants ever sing,The achievements of the god of Love!On the waves white foam,Mid the twilight grey, mid hedges, mid flowers,I blithely do dance!Behold Titania, glad and gay!
