10 In that same place thou hast appointed me,

To-morrow truly will I meet with thee.

Keep promise, love. Look, here comes Helena.

God speed fair Helena! whither away?

Call you me fair? that fair again unsay.

Demetrius loves your fair: O happy fair!

Your eyes are lode-stars; and your tongue’s sweet air

More tuneable than lark to shepherd’s ear,

When wheat is green, when hawthorn buds appear.

Sickness is catching: O, were favour so,

Yours would I catch, fair Hermia, ere I go;

My ear should catch your voice, my eye your eye,

My tongue should catch your tongue’s sweet melody.

Were the world mine, Demetrius being bated,

The rest I’ld give to be to you translated,

O, teach me how you look, and with what art

You sway the motion of Demetrius’ heart.

I frown upon him, yet he loves me still.

O that your frowns would teach my smiles such skill!
