A Midsummer Night’S Dream Essay A monolog from the play by William ShakespeareHELENA: How glad some oer other some can be!Through Athens I am thought as reasonable as she.But who cares about that? Demetrius thinks not so;He won't recognize what everything except he do know.And as he blunders, hovering over Hermias eyes,So I, respecting of his qualities.Things base and awful, holding no quantity,Love can transpose to shape and dignity.Love looks not with the eyes, yet with the mind,And along these lines is winged Cupid painted blind.Nor hath Loves brain of any judgment taste;Wings, and no eyes, figure unheedy haste.And consequently is Love supposed to be a child,Because in decision he is so oft beguiled.As amusing young men in game themselves forswear,So the kid Love is lied everywhere.For ere Demetrius looked on Hermias eyne,He hailed down pledges that he was just mine;And when this hail some warmth from Hermia felt,So he broke down, and showrs of vows did melt.I will go let him know of reasonable Hermias flight.Th en to the wood will he to-morrow nightPursue her; and for this intelligenceIf I have much obliged, it is a dear expense.But thus mean I to enhance my pain,To have his sight yonder and back once more.
