Sweet courtesy has done its most
If you have made each guest forget
That he himself is not the host.

She sets a springe to snare them all:
All's one to her—above her fan
She'd make sweet eyes at Caliban.

And in a dream as in a fairy bark
Drift on and on through the enchanted dark
To purple daybreak — little thought we pay
To that sweet bitter world we know by day.
