"If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here While these visions did appear
. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends."Explain.

He finishes up requesting the audience's applause " <em>Give me your hands, if we be friends". </em>
