Her. I do entreat your Grace to pardon me.

I know not by what power I am made bold,

060 Nor how it may concern my modesty,

In such a presence here to plead my thoughts;

But I beseech your Grace that I may know

The worst that may befall me in this case,

If I refuse to wed Demetrius.

065 The. Either to die the death, or to abjure

For ever the society of men.

Therefore, fair Hermia, question your desires;
