This Man has my Consent to Marry her Stand forth Lysander this most Noble Duke This has Bewitch'd the Bosom of my Child Thou thou Lysander thou hast given her Spells In Bracelets of thy Hair Rings Lockets Verses Arts that prevail on unexperienc'd Youth With cunning thou hast stoln my Daughter's Heart Turn'd her Obedience which is due to me To Stubborness If therefore Royal Sir My Daughter does not here before your Grace Consent to Marry with Demetrius Let the stern Law punish her Disobedience And Cage her in a Nunnery Du. Be advis'd Fair Hermia To you your Father should be as a God The Maker of those Beauties yes and one To whom you are but as a Form in Wax By him Imprinted and within his Pow'r To leave the Figure or to race it out Her O would my Father look'd but with my Eyes Du.

You must Abjure For ever the Society of Men. Therefore Fair Hermia question your Desires Know of your Youth examine well your Blood Whether if you refuse your Father's Choice You can indure the Habit of a Nun To be immur'd for ever in a Cloister Her Is there no Mean No other Choice my Lord Du. None Hermia none Therefore prepare to be Obedient Or like a Rose to wither on the Tree Consider well take till to morrow Morning And give me then your Resolution De. Relent sweet Hermia and Lysander yield Your doubtful Title to my certain right Ly. You have her Father's Love Demetrius Let me have Hermia's Marry marry him Eg. Scornful Lysander true he has my Love And what is mine my Love shall render him And she is mine and all my right in her I give and settle on Demetrius Ly. I am my Lord as Nobly Born as he My Fortune 's every way as great as his And without boast my Love is more than his But what is more than all these boasts can be I am Belov'd of Beautious Hermia Why should this Faithless Man Invade my Right He who solicited Old Nedar's Daughter And won her Love The Beautious Hellena Tho' she 's neglected she poor Lady dotes Upon this spotted and inconstant Man Du. 'T is true Lysander I have heard as much Hermia resolve to be obedient Or as the Law ordains it you must take An everlasting Farewel of the World To Morrow in the Morning give your answer so farewell Ex. all but Her and Ly. Ly. O my true Hermia I have never found By Observation nor by History That Lovers run a smooth and even course Either they are unequal in their Birth Her O cross too high to be impos'd on Love Ly. Or if there be a Simpathy in choice War Sickness or pale Death lay Siege to it Making it momentary as a sound Swift as the Lightning in the blackest night That at one Instant shews both Heav'n and Earth Yet e'er a man can say behold the Flame The jaws of darkness have devour'd it up So quick even brightest things run to Confusion Her If then true Lovers have been ever cross'd It stands as a Decree in Destiny Then let us teach each other Patience Because it is a customary thing Ly. 'T is well advis'd my Hermia Pray hear me I have an Aunt a Widow She has no Child and is extreamly rich She chose me loves me bred me as her Son Has setled all her Fortune upon me To her we 'll fly and there my sweetest Hermia There if you give consent I 'll marry you And thither this Inhuman Cruel Law Cannot pursue us If thou lov'st me then Steal from thy Father's House this very night And in the Wood a mile without the Town Near the great spreading Oak I 'll stay for thee And at some little distance from that place Have all things ready to convey thee thence Her Oh my Lysander I swear to thee by Cupid's strongest Bow By his best Arrow with the Golden Head By all the Oaths which ever Men have broke In number more than ever Women spoke I will where thou appoint'st meet my Lysander Ly. Enough my Love look here comes Hellena Enter Hellena Her Welcome fair Hellena Hel. You mock me Hermia when you call me fair 'T is you are fair 't is you Demetrius loves Sickness is catching oh were Beauty so I 'd catch your Graces Hermia e'er I go My Ear should catch your Voice my Eye your Eye My Tongue should catch your Tongue 's sweet Harmony O teach me how you look and with what art You charm and govern my Demetrius's Heart Her I frown upon him yet he loves me still Hel. Oh that your frowns could teach my smiles such Skill Her I give him Curses when he gives me Love Hel. Oh that my Prayers could such Affection move Her His Folly Hellena is none of mine Hel. No 't is your Beauty wou'd that Fault were mine Her Take comfort he no more shall see my Face Ly. To you fair Hellena we 'll disclose our minds This very night when Luna does behold Her Silver Visage in the Watry Glass Decking with liquid-Pearl the bladed-Grass A time propitious to unhappy Lovers We from this cursed Town will steal away Her And in the Wood where often you and I Upon faint Primrose Beds have laid us down Emptying our Bosoms of our secret thoughts There my Lysander and my self shall meet To seek new Friends new Habitations Ly. Madam farewell O may the Pow'rs above Make Hellen happy in Demetrius's Love Exeunt Lysander and Hermia Hel.
