10098Deme. Relent, sweete Hermia, and, Lysander, yeeld

10199Thy crazed title to my certaine right.

102100Lys. You haue her fathers loue, Demetrius:

103101Let me haue Hermias: doe you marry him.

104102Egeus. Scornefull Lysander, true, he hath my loue:

105103And what is mine, my loue shall render him.

106104And she is mine, and all my right of her

107105I doe estate vnto Demetrius.

108106Lysand. I am my Lord, as well deriu'd as hee,

109107As well possest: my loue is more than his:

110108My fortunes euery way as fairely rankt

111109(If not with vantage) as Demetrius:

112110And (which is more then all these boastes can be)

113111I am belou'd of beautious Hermia.

114112Why should not I then prosecute my right?

115113Demetrius, Ile auouch it to his heade,

116114Made loue to Nedars daughter, Helena,

117115And won her soule: and she (sweete Ladie) dotes,

118116Deuoutly dotes, dotes in Idolatry,

119117Vpon this spotted and inconstant man.

120118The. I must confesse, that I haue heard so much;

121119And, with Demetrius, thought to haue spoke thereof:

122120But, being ouer full of selfe affaires,

123121My minde did loose it. But Demetrius come,

124122And come Egeus, you shall goe with mee:

125123I haue some priuate schooling for you both.

126124For you, faire Hermia, looke you arme your selfe,

127125To fit your fancies, to your fathers will;

128126Or else, the Law of Athens yeelds you vp

129127(Which by no meanes we may extenuate)

130128To death, or to a vowe of single life.

131129Come my Hyppolita: what cheare my loue?

132130Demetrius and Egeus goe along:

133131I must employ you in some businesse,

134132Against our nuptiall, and conferre with you
