Her . Now I but chide , but I should use thee worse ; For thou , I fear , bast given
me cause to curse . If thou hast slain Lysander in his sleep , Being o'er shoes in
blood , plunge in the deep , And kill me too . The sun was not so true unto the day

To shew our simple skill , That is the true beginning of our end . Consider then ,
we come but in despite . We do not come as minding to content you , Our true
intent is . All for your delight , We are not here . That you should here repent you ...

IT is true , as Mr. Pope has observed , that somewhat resembling the story of this
play is to be found in the fifth book of the Orlando Furioso . In Spenser's Fairy
Queen , as remote an original may be traced . A novel , however , of Belleforest ...

As true we are , as flesh and blood can be : The sea will ebb and flow , heaven
show bis face , Young blood will not obey an old decree : We cannot cross the
cause why we were born ; Therefore , of all hands , must we be forsworn . King .

Popular passages
Page 61 - The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen ; man's hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart to report, what my dream was.
Page 63 - Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt : The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven ; And as imagination bodies forth The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name. Such tricks hath strong imagination, That, if it would but apprehend some joy, It comprehends some bringer of that joy ; 20 Or in the night, imagining some fear, How easy is a bush suppos'da bear!
Page 28 - Fetch me that flower ; the herb I show'd thee once : The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid Will make or man or woman madly dote Upon the next live creature that it sees.
Page 61 - I had — but man is but a patched fool, if he will offer to say what methought I had. The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen, man's hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart...

Page 236 - A jest's prosperity lies in the ear Of him that hears it, never in the tongue Of him that makes it...
Page 63 - More strange than true : I never may believe These antique fables nor these fairy toys. Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend More than cool reason ever comprehends. The lunatic, the lover, and the poet Are of imagination all compact.
