MULBERRIES

TITANIA

Feed him with apricocks and dewberries,

With purple grapes, green figs,

and MULBERRIES.

—A Midsummer Night’s Dream [Act III, sc. 1]

The birds such pleasure took,

That some would sing, some other in their bills

Would bring him MULBERRIES

and ripe-red cherries;

He fed them with his sight,

they him with BERRIES.

—Venus and Adonis

VOLUMNIA

Thy stout heart,

Now humble as the ripest MULBERRY

That will not bear the handling.

This be tarrying in MULBERRY shade.

—A Midsummer Night’s Dream [Act V, sc. 1]

WOOER

Is gone to the wood to gather MULBERRIES.
