HE SAID, MARIE, MARIE, HOLD ON TIGHT
And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

interlude
Hippolyta: How chance Moonshine is gone before Thisbe comes back and finds her lover?
Theseus: She will find him by starlight. Here she comes; and her passion ends the play.
(A Midsummer's Night Dream, 5.1.302-3)
