Hippolyta Monologue from A Midsummer Night's Dream

From A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare

female · romantic · 56 sec

Four days will quickly steep themselves in night; Four nights will quickly dream away the time; And then the moon, like to a silver bow New -bent in heaven, shall behold the night Of our solemnities. THESEUS Go, Philostrate, Stir up the Athenian youth to merriments. Awake the pert and nimble spirit of mirth. Turn melancholy forth to funerals; The pale companion is not for our pomp. Philostrate exits. Hippolyta, I wooed thee with my sword And won thy love doing thee injuries, But I will wed thee in another key, With pomp, with triumph, and with reveling. 7 9 A Midsummer Night’s Dream ACT 1. SC.
