The opening
Scene I
Athens. The palace of Theseus.
Enter Theseus, Hippolyta, Philostrate, and Attendants.
Theseus Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour Draws on apace; four happy days bring in Another moon: but, O, methinks, how slow This old moon wanes! she lingers my desires, Like to a step-dame or a dowager Long withering out a young man’s revenue.
Hippolyta 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.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
