Ein Sommernachtstraum I i Nun rückt, Hippolyta, die Hochzeitsstunde / Mit Eil heran; vier frohe Tage bringen / Den neuen Mond; doch, o wie langsam nimmt / Der alte ab! Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour / Draws on apace; four happy days bring in / Another moon: but, O, methinks, how slow / This old moon wanes!
