excerpt from Act III, Scene 1, in A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare

Titania
I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again.
Mine ear is much enamored of thy note,
So is mine eye enthrallèd to thy shape,
And thy fair virtue’s force perforce doth move me
On the first view to say, to swear, I love thee.
