“Or if thou follow me, do not believe
But I shall do thee mischief in the wood.
HELENA.
Ay, in the temple, in the town, the field,
You do me mischief. Fie, Demetrius!
Your wrongs do set a scandal on my sex.
We cannot fight for love as men may do. We should be woo’d, and were not made to woo.
[Exit Demetrius .]
I’ll follow thee, and make a heaven of hell,
To die upon the hand I love so well.
[Exit Helena .]
OBERON.
Fare thee well, nymph. Ere he do leave this grove,
