Lysander says: thou canst compel no more than she entreat: Helen, I love thee; by my life, I do.

I say I love thee more than he can do

Lysander finishes: Demetrius, I will keep my word with thee.

I would I had your bond, ill not trust your word.

Helena says: never did mockers waste more idle breath.

Lysander, keep thy hermia; I will none: if e'er I loved her, all that love is gone.

Hermia says: I pray thee, tell me then that he is well.

an if I could, what should I get therefore?

Hippolyta says: well shone, moon (The lion shakes thisbe's mantle, and exit)

and then came pyramus.

(Exeunt THESEUS, HIPOLYTA, and EGEUS)

are you sure that we are awake? it seems to me that yet we sleep, we dream. do not you think the duke was here, and bid us follow him?

Theseus says: moonshine and lion are left to bury the dead.

ay, and wall too.

Helena says: You draw me, you hard-hearted adamant.

do I entice you? do I speak you fair? or, rather do i not in plainest truth tell you, i do not, nor i cannot love you?

Lysander says: now follow, if thou darest, to try whose right, of thine or mine, is most in helena

follow?! nay, ill go with thee, cheek by jowl.

Theseus says: would you desire lime and hair to speak better?

it is the wittiest partition that ever I heard discourse, my lord.

Lysander says: Get you gone, you dwarf; you minimus of hindering knot-grass made; you bead, you acorn.

let her alone: speak not of Helena.

Puck says (as Lysander): come hither: I am here.

nay, then, thou mock's me. thou shalt buy this dear, if ever I thy face by daylight see: now, go thy way. faintness constraineth me to measure out my length on this cold bed. by day's approach look to be visited.

Theseus says: I wonder if the lion be to speak.

no wonder, my lord: one lion may, when many asses do.

Lysander says: be not afraid; she shall not harm thee, Helena.

no, sir, she shall not, though you take her part.

Lysander says: Demetrius loves her, and he loves not you / Demetrius awakes

o Helena, goddess, nymph, perfect, divine!

Puck says: this is the woman, but not this the man.

o, why rebuke you him that loves you so? lay breath so bitter on your bitter foe.

Moonshine says: this lanthorn doth the horned moon represent

he should have worn the horns on his head.

(Enter DEMETRIUS, HELENA, following him)

i love thee not, therefore pursue me not. where is lysand and fair hermia? the one i'll slay, the other slayeth me. thou told'st me they were stolen unto this wood; hence, get thee gone, and follow me no more.

Helena says: The wildest hast not such a heart as you.

i will not stay thy questions; let me go: or, if thou follow me, do not believe but I shall do thee mischief in the wood.

Hermia says: sweet, do not scorn her so.

if she cannot entreat, I can compel.

Helena says: Your virtue is my privilege: for that It is not night when I do see your face.

ill run from thee and hide me in the brakes, and leave thee to the mercy of wild beasts.

Hermia finishes: It cannot be but thou hast murder'd him; So should a murderer look, so dead, so grim.

so should the murder'd look, and so should I, pierced through the heart with your stern cruelty:

Helena says: O, wilt thou darkling leave me? Do not so.

stay, on thy peril: I alone will go.

Helena finishes: And yet a place of high respect with me, Than to be used as you use your dog?

tempt not too much the hatred of my spirit; for I am sick when I do look on thee.

Theseus says: a very gentle beast, and of a good conscience.

the very best at a beast, my lord, that e'er I saw.

Hermia says: A privilege never to see me more. And from thy hated presence part I so: See me no more, whether he be dead or no. (Exit)

there is no following her in this fierce vein: here therefore for a while I will remain.

Lysander finishes: That fallen am I in dark uneven way, and here will rest me. (lies down) come, thou gentle day! (sleeps) (Re-enter PUCK and DEMETRIUS)

thou runn'st before me, shifting every place, and darest not stand, nor look me in the face. where art thou now?

Thisbe says: this is old ninny's tomb. Where is my love? (lion roars. Thisbe runs off, leaving her scarf)

well roared, lion.

Moonshine says: all that I have to say is to tell you that the lanthorn is the moon; I, the man in the moon; this thron-bush, my thorn-bush; and this dog, my dog

why, all these should be in the lanthorn; for all these are in the moon, but, silence! here comes thisbe.

Lysander says: and he did bid us follow to the temple.

why, then, we are awake: let's follow him and by the way let us recount our dreams.

Puck says (as Lysander): come, recreant; come, thou child; ill whip thee with a rod.

yea, art thou there?

Helena says: And I am sick when I look not on you.

you do impeach your modesty too much, to leave the city and commit yourself into the hands of one that loves you not; to trust the opportunity of night and the ill counsel of a desert place with the rich worth of your virginity

Lysander says: if thou say so, withdraw, and prove it too.

quick, come!

theseus says: upon that day either prepare to die for disobedience to your father's will, or else to wed demetrius

relent, sweet hermia: and, Lysander, yield thy crazed title to my certain right.

Enter DEMETRIUS and HELENA, running/ Helena says: Stay, though thou kill me, sweet Demetrius.

I charge thee, hence, and do not haunt me thus.

Hermia says: what's this to my Lysander? where is he? Ah, good Demetrius, wilt thou give him me?

I had rather give his carcass to my hounds.

Puck says: follow me, then, to plainer ground. (Exit LYSANDER, as following the voice)

Lysander! speak again: thou runaway, thou coward, art thou fled speak! in some bush? where dost thou hide thy head?

Egeus finishes: Thereby to have defeated you and me, of my consent that she should be your wife.

my lord, I know not by what power, but by some power it is, my love to hermia melted as the snow. the object and the pleasure of mine eye, is only Helena. to her, my lord was I betroth'd ere I saw hermia: but, like in sickness, did I loath this food; but, as in health, come to my natural taste, now I do wish it, love it, long for it, and will for evermore be true to it.
