But here comes Demetrius. Fare thee well, Lysander.
Demetrius exits. Helena exits.
Oh, how happy some people are in love,
While others suffer and struggle with their hearts.
In Athens, I am considered just as fair as Hermia,
But Demetrius does not see it that way.
He cannot see what everyone else sees,
As he is blinded by his love for Hermia.
But I, admiring his qualities,
Can see past his faults and see his true worth.
Love is not based on appearance,
But on the feelings and emotions of the heart.
Love is blind, they say,
And Love’s mind has no judgment.
Like a child, Love is easily fooled,
And is often misled in matters of the heart.
I must go tell Demetrius of Hermia’s flight,
And lead him to the woods tomorrow night.
If I am thanked for this, it will be worth it,
For I will have the chance to see him once more.
