Now, ere the sun advance his burning eye, the day to cheer, and night's dank dew to dry

Now, ere the sun advance his burning eye, the day to cheer, and night's dank dew to dry

The line “Now, ere the sun advance his burning eye, the day to cheer, and night's dank dew to dry” is from William Shakespeare’s play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. This line is spoken by Oberon, the king of the fairies, as he instructs his fairy servant, Puck, to use his magic to bring daylight and dry up the dew of the night.
