OBERON
My gentle Puck, go fetch my pharmacopoeia.
And also, please retrieve some tasty snack food
mayhaps those pale and supple treats of sugar
that I so often fancy late at night.
PUCK races off to OBERON’s tour bus. OBERON continues singing.
OBERON (CONT’D)
Where was I? Yes, my cherished pharmacopoeia.
Within it lie four ruby-colored capsules,
and two more pills of golden-yellow hue.
the final works of chemist Cupid Owsley
For have I mentioned Cupid Owsley?
He's the chemist to the rock world
Was the chemist to the rock world
'til he overused his pills.
now he's pushing up the daisies,
but I have his final capsules
I have Cupid's final capsules,
and they'll cure Titania's ills.
For the red ones,
when you crack them
o'er the eyelids,
while asleep,
then they make you
feel affection,
a connection,
love so deep,
yes the red ones,
pack a wallop,
and a dollop
of surprise
for you fall for,
give it all for
the first being you’ll be seeing when you open up your eyes.
(scene: forging a letter to Bottom from Titania. Then:)
