The fairy king and queen, who were invisible spectators of this reconciliation, andnow saw the happy ending of the lovers history brought about through the goodofFices of Oberon, received so much pleasure, that these kind spirits resolved to cele-brate the approaching nuptials with sports and revels throughout their fairy kingdom.
