A Midsummer Night's Dream: Lysander And Starveling Flashcards
Bottom: … Which the ladies cannot abide. How answer you that?
I believe we must leave the killing out when all is done.
Oberon: Stand aside. The noise they make will cause Demetrius to awake
Why should you think that I should woo in scorn?
Helena: These vows are Hermia’s. Will you give her o’er?
I had no judgement when to her I swore.
Nor none, in my mind, now give you o’er
Demetrius loves her, and he loves not you.
O spite! O hell! I see you all are bent
To set agains me for your merriment
You are unkind, Demetrius, be not so
For you love Hermia, this you know I know
And here, with all good will, with all my heart,
In Hermia’s love I yield you up my part.
Demetrius:
… And now to Helen is it home return’d
There to remain
Helen, it is not so.
Quince:
Robin Starveling the tailor
Here, Peter Quince
Hermia: … But why unkindly did thou leave me so?
Why should he stay, whom love doth press to go?
Hermia: What love could press Lysander from my side?
Why seek’st thou me? Could not this make thee know,
The hate I bear thee made me leave the so?
Helena: … But fare ye well, ‘tis partly my own fault
Which death or absence soon shall remedy.
Stay, gentle Helena, here my excuse,
My love, my life, my soul, fair Helena!
Hermia: Sweet, do not scorn her so
Helen, I love thee, by my life I do!
Demetrius: I say I love thee more than he can do
Lysander: if thou say so, withdraw and prove it too.
Hermia: Lysander, whereto tends all this?
Hang off, thou cat, thou bur! Vile thing, let loose!
Hermia: why are you grown so rude? What change is this? Sweet love-
Thy love! Out, tawny Tartar, out
Out loathed medicine! Hated poison, hence!
Helena: Yes, sooth, and so do you.
Demetrius, I will keep my word with thee.
