how happy some o're other some can be?
through athens i am thought as fair as she.
but what of that, demetrius thinks not so\
he will not know all but he do know.
and as he errs doting on hermias eyes
so i admiring of his qualities
things base and vile holding no quantity
love can transpose to form and dignity
love looks not with the eyes but with the mind
and therefore is winged cupid painted blind
nor hath love's mind of any judgment haste
and therefore is love said to be a child
because in love he is so oft beguiled
as waggish boys in game themselves forswear
so the boy love is perjured everywere
for ere demetrius looked on demetrius eyne
he hailed down oaths that he was only mine
and when this hail some heat from hermia felt
so he dissolved and showers of oath did melt
i will go tell him of fair hermias flight
the to the wood will he to-morrow night
persue her and for this intelligance
if i have thanks it is a dear expense
but herein mean i to enrich my pain
to have his sight thither and back again


okay so the blue words i have memorized
but i really think helena (the girl thats saying all this ) is stupid and
because well ya youd have to get the play and understand everything thats going on in it but anyway shakespear is very hard to understand espesially all this weird poetic words taht make no sence now dont get me wrong i know what this scene means and all that and i looked up all the words i didnt know but still its all so complicated so i figure if i type this a million times i might be able to memorize it.....well my fingers will prolly cramp up but owell its for a good grade :) so if any one has any neat lil tricks on how to memorize or anything that would be nice :)
