It is, my Lord. Go bid the huntsmen wake them with their horns. Good morrow friends: Saint Valentine is passed, Begin these wood birds but to couple now? Pardon my Lord. I pray you all stand up. I know you two are Rival enemies. How comes this gentle concord in the world, That hatred is is so far from jealousy, To sleep by hate, and fear no enmity. My Lord, I shall reply amazedly, Half sleep, half waking. But as yet, I swear, I cannot truly say how I came here. But as I think (for truly would I speak) And now I do bethink me, so it is; I came with Hermia hither. Our intent Was to be gone from Athens, where we might be Without the peril of the Athenian Law. Enough, enough, my Lord: you have enough; I beg the Law, the Law, upon his head: They would have stolen away, they would Demetrius, Thereby to have defeated you and me: You of your wife, and me of my consent; Of my consent, that she should be your wife. My Lord, fair Helen told me of their stealth, Of this their purpose hither, to this wood, And I in fury hither followed them; Fair Helena, in fancy followed me. But my good Lord, I wots not by what power. (But by some power it is) my l To Hermia (melted as the snow) Seems to me now as the remembrance of an idle gaude, Which in my childhood I did dote upon: And all the faith, the virtue of my heart, The object and the pleasure of mine eye, Is only Helena. To her, my Lord, Was I betrothed, ere I see Hermia, But like a sickness did I loath this food, But as in health, come to my natural taste, Now do I wish it, love it, long for it, And will for evermore be true to it. Fair Lovers, you are fortunately met; Of this discourse we shall hear more anon. Egeus, I will overbeare your will; For in the Temple, by and by with us, These couples shall eternally be knit. And for the morning now is something worn, Our purposed hunting shall be set aside. Away, with us to Athens; three and three, we'll hold a feast in great solemnity. Come Hippolitae. These things seem small & undistinguishable, Like far off mountains turned into Clouds. Methinks I see these things with parted eye, When every things seems double. So methinks: And I have found Demetrius, like a jewel, Mine own, and not mine own. It seems to me, That yet we sleep, we dream. Do not you think, The Duke was here, and bid us follow him? Yea, and my Father. And Hippolitae. And he bid us follow to the Temple. Why then we are awake; let's follow him, and by the way let us recount our dreams.

It is, my Lord. Goe bid the huntſ-men wake them with their hornes. Good morrow friends: Saint Ʋalentine is paſt, Begin theſe wood birds but to couple now? Pardon my Lord. I pray you all ſtand vp. I know you two are Riuall enemies. How comes this gentle concord in the world, That hatred is is ſo farre from iealouſie, To ſleepe by hate, and feare no enmity. My Lord, I ſhall reply amazedly, Halfe ſleepe, halfe waking. But as yet, I ſweare, I cannot truly ſay how I came heere. But as I thinke (for truly would I ſpeake) And now I doe bethinke me, ſo it is; I came with Hermia hither. Our intent Was to be gone from Athens, where we might be Without the perill of the Athenian Law. Enough, enough, my Lord: you haue enough; I beg the Law, the Law, vpon his head: They would haue ſtolne away, they would Demetrius, Thereby to haue defeated you and me: You of your wife, and me of my conſent; Of my conſent, that ſhe ſhould be your wife. My Lord, faire Helen told me of their ſtealth, Of this their purpoſe hither, to this wood, And I in furie hither followed them; Faire Helena, in fancy followed me. But my good Lord, I wot not by what power. (But by ſome power it is) my l To Hermia (melted as the ſnow) Seems to me now as the remembrance of an idle gaude, Which in my childehood I did doat vpon: And all the faith, the vertue of my heart, The obiect and the pleaſure of mine eye, Is onely Helena. To her, my Lord, Was I betroth'd, ere I ſee Hermia, But like a ſickeneſſe did I loath this food, But as in health, come to my naturall taſte, Now doe I wiſh it, loue it, long for it, And will for euermore be true to it. Faire Louers, you are fortunately met; Of this diſcourſe we ſhall heare more anon. Egeus, I will ouer-beare your will; For in the Temple, by and by with vs, Theſe couples ſhall eternally be knit. And for the morning now is ſomething worne, Our purpos'd hunting ſhall be ſet aſide. Away, with vs to Athens; three and three, Wee'll hold a feaſt in great ſolemnitie. Come Hippolitae. Theſe things ſeeme ſmall & vndiſtinguiſhable, Like farre off mountaines turned into Clouds. Me-thinks I ſee theſe things with parted eye, When euery things ſeemes double. So me-thinkes: And I haue found Demetrius, like a iewell, Mine owne, and not mine owne. It ſeemes to mee, That yet we ſleepe, we dreame. Do not you thinke, The Duke was heere, and bid vs follow him? Yea, and my Father. And Hippolitae. And he bid vs follow to the Temple. Why then we are awake; lets follow him, and by the way let vs recount our dreames.
