But, as in health, come to my natural taste,
Now do I wish it, love it, long for it,181
And will for evermore be true to it.
The. Fair lovers, you are fortunately met:
Of this discourse we more will hear anon.184
Egeus, I will overbear 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 purpos'd hunting shall be set aside.189
Away with us, to Athens: three and three,
We'll hold a feast in great solemnity.
Come, Hippolyta.192
Exit Duke [with Hippolyta] and Lords.
Dem. These things seem small and undistinguishable,
Like far-off mountains turned into clouds.
Her. Methinks I see these things with parted eye,
When everything seems double.
Hel.So methinks:
And I have found Demetrius, like a jewel,197
Mine own, and not mine own.
Dem.Are you sure
That we are awake? It seems to me
That yet we sleep, we dream. Do you not think
The duke was here, and bid us follow him?201
Her. Yea: and my father.
Hel.And Hippolyta.
Lys. And he did bid us follow to the temple.
Dem. Why then, we are awake. Let's follow him;204
And by the way let us recount our dreams.
Exeunt Lovers.
