"Note -- This arrangement carries out in perfect and regular sequence the incident of Titantia's quarrel with Oberon, including, as an essential preliminary, the scene in which the Athenian artizans prepare for their moonlight rehersal. The words of Shakespeare remain, with one or two verbal modifications, intact, only those portions being omitted which do not relate to the episode. F.A.D. [Frederick Augustus Dixon]" (Dixon 2).
