Helena

O, when she is 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 gone, you dwarf,

You minimus of hindering knot-grass made, You bead, you acorn.

In her behalf that scorns your services.

Let her alone: speak not of Helena,

Take not her part; for if thou dost intend e um

Never so little show of love to her,

LYSANDER

Now she holds me not –

Now follow, if thou dur’st, to try whose right, Of thine or mine, is most in Helena.

DEMETRIUS

Follow? Nay, I’ll go with thee, cheek by jowl.

Exeunt Lysander and Demetrius

HERMIA

You, mistress, all this coil is long of you.

Nay, go not back.
