Up and down, up and down,
I will lead them up and down.
I am feared in field and town.
Goblin, lead them up and down.
– William Shakespeare
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 3, Scene 2. Puck is a trickster who thinks it is funny to lead the lovers Demetrius and Lysander up and down the forest. The mischief-maker is positively gleeful at the disorder and chaos he has caused, and is about to continue with more trickery.
