102 And all the faith, the virtue of my heart,

The object and the pleasure of mine eye

Is only Helena. To her, my lord,

Was I betroth’d ere I saw Hermia:

But, like in sickness, did I loathe this food;

But, as in health, come to my natural taste,

Now I do wish it, love it, long for it,

And will for evermore be true to it.

Fair lovers, you are fortunately met:

Of this discourse we more will hear anon.

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 purposed hunting shall be set aside.

Away with us to Athens; three and three,

Well hold a feast in great solemnity.

Come, Hippolyta.

These things seem small and undistinguishable,

Like far-off mountains turned into clouds.

Methinks I see these things with parted eye,

When every thing seems double.
