The quotes from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in which Oberon gives intructions to Puck on how to use the love potion are the following:
Quote 1 (Act 2 Scene 1, Lines 154-157):
"Fetch me that flower. The herb I showed thee once.
The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid
Will make or man or woman madly dote
Upon the next live creature that it sees."
Translation:
Bring me that flower. I showed it to you once.
If you put the juice of this flower on somebody's eyelids while they sleep,
They will fall deeply in love
With the first person they see.
Quote 2 (Act 2 Scene 1, Lines 247-254)
"A sweet Athenian lady is in love
With a disdainful youth. Anoint his eyes.
But do it when the next thing he espies
May be the lady. Thou shalt know the man
By the Athenian garments he hath on.
Effect it with some care, that he may prove
More fond on her than she upon her love. "
Translation:
A sweet Athenian lady is in love
With a young man who rejects her. Put the juice of this flower on his eyes.
But make sure that the first thing he sees is the lady. You will recognize the man
Because of his Athenian clothes.
Do it carefully, so that he loves her
More than she loves him.
