1. How happy some o’er other some can be!
\n2 \u00a0Through Athens I am thought as fair as she.
\n3 \u00a0But what of that? Demetrius thinks not so;
\n4 \u00a0He will not know what all but he do know:
\n5 \u00a0And as he errs, doting on Hermia’s eyes,
\n6 \u00a0So I, admiring of his qualities:
\n7 \u00a0Things base and vile, folding no quantity,
\n8 \u00a0Love can transpose to form and dignity:
\n9 \u00a0Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
\n10 \u00a0And therefore is wing’d Cupid painted blind:
\n11 \u00a0For ere Demetrius look’d on Hermia’s eyne,
\n12 \u00a0He hail’d down oaths that he was only mine;
\n13 \u00a0And when this hail some heat from Hermia felt,
\n14 \u00a0So he dissolved, and showers of oaths did melt.
\n15 \u00a0I will go tell him of fair Hermia’s flight:
\n16 \u00a0Then to the wood will he to-morrow night
\n17 \u00a0Pursue her; and for this intelligence
\n18 \u00a0If I have thanks, it is a dear expense:
\n19 \u00a0But herein mean I to enrich my pain,
\n20 \u00a0To have his sight thither and back again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
