The Faerie PEASBLOSSOM appears in Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream as an attendant to the Faerie Queen Titania. Titania's attendants sing her to sleep with protective charms, in the enchanted wood near Athens. Weaving spiders, come not here; Hence, you long legg'd spinners, hence! Beetles black, approach not near; Worm or snail, do no offense. You spotted snakes, with double-tongue, Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen; Newts and blindworms, do no wrong; Come not near our Faerie Queen!
