Morning — Titania released; the lovers found

Titania's bower at dawn. Titania reclines with Bottom in her arms, doting on him while her fairies attend. Bottom, courteous, asks Peaseblossom to scratch his head and Cobweb to kill him a red-hipped bumble-bee on the top of a thistle and bring him the honey-bag. He confesses an appetite for hay and proposes finding a barber. He falls asleep mid-conversation. Oberon enters. He has, by this point, obtained the changeling boy from the besotted Titania without difficulty; with the boy in his train, his quarrel is over. He looks at Titania with the donkey-headed weaver in her arms and decides he has had enough revenge. He squeezes the antidote on her eyes.

Titania wakes. Her first words are confused — "my Oberon, what visions have I seen!" She looks down, sees Bottom in his donkey's head, and is appalled. Oberon orders Puck to remove the head. He does. Oberon and Titania reconcile and dance together; their music summons the fairies; they leave to bless the weddings that are to come. Bottom is left sleeping on the ground, his own head restored.

Hunting horns. Theseus and Hippolyta enter the wood at dawn, with Egeus and a hunting party, on their way to the temple where they will be married. They notice the four lovers asleep on the ground. The lovers wake, confused and apologetic. Lysander explains that he and Hermia were eloping; Egeus immediately demands the law's penalty. But Demetrius — still under the love-juice, though no one in the human world knows that — declares he no longer loves Hermia: "my love to Hermia, melted as the snow," is now devoted to Helena. Theseus overrules Egeus on the spot. The three couples will be married this morning, alongside Theseus and Hippolyta. They go. Bottom wakes alone in the empty wood.
