For out of this cup would I, hipped with Cupid's
Own fury, sink in a pool of his own blood
When his love did of his spine, let her
Shine as gloriously as the fields of the sun
When thou wakest, if she be by, beg of her for remedy
Captain of our fairy band, Helena is here
At hand, and the youth mistook by me
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be
Why should you think that I should woo in scorn?
These vows are Hermia's
Will you give her o'er?
I had no judgment when to her I swore
You abandoned my mind, now you care little for her
Demetrius loves the whore, and he loves not you
O Helen, goddess, nymph, perfect, divine, to
What, thy love, shall I compare thine eyne?
Crystal is muddy
O how ripe in show thy lips, these kissing cherries tempting grow
That pure congealed white I adore as snow, fanned with
Eastern wind turns to a crow when thou hold'st up thy hand
O let me kiss this princess of pure white, this sea of bliss
O Helen, goddess, nymph...
O hell!
...
Perfect, divine
O hell!
Why, sir, you are all of it set against me
You are her guide
Demetrius, be not so, not so, for you will harm Hermia
Quoth Quethiah
This do go I on
"Yonder is thy cheer." Ah, Lysander
While time begins now leave me so
Injurious Hermia, most ungrateful maid
Have you conspired, have you with these
Contrived to beach me with this foul derision?
Is all the counsel that we two have shared, the sisters'
Vows, the hours that we have spent when we have chid
The hasty-footed time for parting us, oh, is all forgot?
Our schooldays' friendship, childhood innocence?
We, Hermia, like two artificial gods, have with our maidens created
One flower, both are of one scent now, sitting on one cushion
Both warbling of one song, both in one key, two lovely berries
Molded on one stem, so with two seeming bodies, but one heart
And will you wrench our ancient love asunder
To join with men in scorning your poor friend?
It is not friendly
'Tis not maidenly
I am amazed at your passionate words
I scorn you not, it seem that you scorn me
Why, I do consider counterfeit sad looks make mirth
Upon me when I turn my back, wink at each other
Oh, sweet jest up
But fare ye well
I'll make her farewell now
'Tis partly her good heart...
Hear you my excuse
...
Which doth elicit the jeering eye
I love, I love, I so thoroughly love
If she come out to treat, I can compel her
Thou canst compel no more than she a treat
I say I love her more than you can do
His heart is o'erwith woe, I'll prove it too
Prove!
If I know where to tend for peace
Away you with thee, O Kronos
Sing to Brancus you are a tame bantam
Lay off the pet
With a murk have I thing Brancus, or I
Would shake him from me like a hermit
I see that you will entreat...
Sing to Brancus you take for others what is yours
...
His weak heart with love, with love
My love, I've told it after all
You are a tame bantam
Oh, let men their secreted passion vent
So do not chide him, sir
Demetrius, I would keep my Hermia with me
So do you not chide him, sir
I would I had your part
I will trust your word
So do not chide him, sir
But should I hurt her, strike her, kill her dead?
For though I hate her, hate her, I'll not harm her so
What can you do me now?
Thy servant if thy Hermia I will not
I have loved, I love, she's wrong
If thou joy, if thou joy, if thou joy, if thou joy, if thou joy
If thou joy, if thou joy, if thou joy, if thou joy, if thou joy
If thou joy, if thou joy, if thou joy, if thou joy, you counterfeit!
You puppet!
You...
