I see you all are bent, To set against me for your merriment:If you we re civil and knew courtesy, You would not do me thus much injury.Can you not hate me, as I know you do, But you must join in souls to mock me too?If you were men, as men you are in show, You would not use a gentle lady so;To vow, and swear, and superpraise my parts, When I am sure you hate me with your hearts. You both are rivals, and love Hermia; And now both rivals, to mock Helena: A trim exploit, a manly enterprise. To conjure tears up in a poor maid’s eyes With your derision! none of noble sortWould so offend a virgin, and extort A poor soul’s patience, all to make you sport.” | Helena |
