John Singer Sargent Two Women Asleep in a Punt under the Willows painting
William Bouguereau Birth of Venus painting
told him of your stealth unto this wood.He follow'd you; for love I follow'd him;But he hath chid me hence and threaten'd meTo strike me, spurn me, nay, to kill me too:And now, so you will let me quiet go,To Athens will I bear my folly backAnd follow you no further: let me go:You see how simple and how fond I am.
HERMIA
Why, get you gone: who is't that hinders you?
HELENA
A foolish heart, that I leave here behind.
HERMIA
What, with Lysander?
HELENA
With Demetrius.
LYSANDER
Be not afraid; she shall not harm thee, Helena.
DEMETRIUS
No, sir, she shall not, though you take her part.
HELENA
O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd!She was a vixen when she went to school;And though she be but little, she is fierce.
HERMIA
'Little' again! nothing but 'low' and 'little'!Why will you suffer her to flout me thus?Let me come to her.
LYSANDER
Get you gone, you dwarf;You minimus, of hindering knot-grass made;You bead, you acorn.
