|
 | |  |
| Fair love, you faint with wandering in the wood. And to speak troth, I have forgot our way. We’ll rest us, Hermia, if you think it good. And tarry for the comfort of the day. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Be it so, Lysander. Find you out a bed, for I upon this bank will rest my head. | |

| Stop, Demetrius! Stop, even if only to kill me. |----| O, wilt thou darkling leave me? Do not so. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I charge thee, hence, and do not haunt me thus. |----| Stay, on thy peril. I alone will go. | |

Oberon orders Puck to find a young athenian male(Demetrius), and squeeze the juice of the flower in his eyes so that he will love Helena, but Puck instead squeezes the juice into Lysander's eye.

|
 | |  |
| And run through fire I will for thy sweet sake. Transparent Helena! Nature shows art that through thy bosom makes me see thy heart. Where is Demetrius? Oh, how fit a word is that vile name to perish. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Do not say so, Lysander. Say not so. What though he love your Hermia? Lord, what though. Yet Hermia still loves you. Then be content. | |
