Go, Philostrate,

Stir up the Athenian youth to merriments;

Awake the pert and nimble spirit of mirth:

Turn melancholy forth to funerals;

[015] The pale companion is not for our pomp. [Exit Philostrate.

Hippolyta, I woo’d thee with my sword,

And won thy love, doing thee injuries;

But I will wed thee in another key,

[019] With pomp, with triumph and with revelling.

Enter Egeus, Hermia, Lysander, and Demetrius.
