[416] I follow’d fast, but faster he did fly;

That fallen am I in dark uneven way,

And here will rest me. [Lies down.] [418] Come, thou gentle day!

For if but once thou show me thy grey light,

[420] I’ll find Demetrius, and revenge this spite. [Sleeps.

Re-enter Puck and Demetrius.

[421] Puck. Ho, ho, ho! Coward, why comest thou not?

Dem. Abide me, if thou darest; for well I wot

Thou runn’st before me, shifting every place,

And darest not stand, nor look me in the face.
