Midsummer night's dream-shakespear help... this guy sucks at english help understanding?

can anyone give me a modernized version of these lines in the play mid summer nights dream?? tell me what they are saying in a more modernized version of english please.





PUCK


How now, spirit! whither wander you?





Fairy


Over hill, over dale,


Thorough bush, thorough brier,


Over park, over pale,


Thorough flood, thorough fire,


I do wander everywhere,


Swifter than the moon's sphere;


And I serve the fairy queen,


To dew her orbs upon the green.


The cowslips tall her pensioners be:


In their gold coats spots you see;


Those be rubies, fairy favours,


In those freckles live their savours:


I must go seek some dewdrops here


And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.


Farewell, thou lob of spirits; I'll be gone:


Our queen and all our elves come here anon.





PUCK


The king doth keep his revels here to-night:


Take heed the queen come not within his sight;


For Oberon is passing fell and wrath,


Because that she as her attendant hath


A lovely boy, stolen from an Indian king;


She never had so sweet a changeling;


And jealous Oberon would have the child


Knight of his train, to trace the forests wild;


But she perforce withholds the loved boy,


Crowns him with flowers and makes him all her joy:


And now they never meet in grove or green,


By fountain clear, or spangled starlight sheen,


But, they do square, that all their elves for fear


Creep into acorn-cups and hide them there.
