171168There, gentle Hermia, may I marry thee:

172169And to that place, the sharpe Athenian law

173170Can not pursue vs. If thou louest mee, then

174171Steale forth thy fathers house, to morrow night:

175172And in the wood, a league without the towne

176173(Where I did meete thee once with Helena

177174To do obseruance to a morne of May)

178175There will I stay for thee.

179176Her. My good Lysander,

180177I sweare to thee, by Cupids strongest bowe,

181178By his best arrowe, with the golden heade,

182179By the simplicitie of Venus doues,

183180By that which knitteth soules, and prospers loues,

184181And by that fire, which burnd the Carthage queene,

185182When the false Troian vnder saile was seene,

186183By all the vowes that euer men haue broke,

187184(In number more then euer women spoke)

188185In that same place thou hast appointed mee,

189186To morrow truely will I meete with thee.

190187Lys. Keepe promise loue: looke, here comes Helena.

192189Her. God speede faire Helena: whither away?

193190Hel. Call you mee faire? That faire againe vnsay.

194191Demetrius loues your faire: o happy faire!

195192Your eyes are loadstarres, and your tongues sweete aire

196193More tunable then larke, to sheepeheards eare,

197194When wheat is greene, when hauthorne buddes appeare.

198195Sicknesse is catching: O, were fauour so,

199196Your words I catch, faire Hermia, ere I goe,

200197My eare should catch your voice, my eye, your eye,

201198My tongue should catch your tongues sweete melody.

202199Were the world mine, Demetrius being bated,

203200The rest ile giue to be to you translated.

204201O, teach mee how you looke, and with what Art,

205202You sway the mot

ion of Demetrius heart.
