Tamara de Lempicka Sketch of Madame Allan Bott painting
Theodore Robinson Valley of the Seine Giverny painting
Here come the lovers, full of joy and mirth.
[Enter LYSANDER, DEMETRIUS, HERMIA, and HELENA]
Joy, gentle friends! joy and fresh days of loveAccompany your hearts!
LYSANDER
More than to usWait in your royal walks, your board, your bed!
THESEUS
Come now; what masques, what dances shall we have,To wear away this long age of three hoursBetween our after-supper and bed-time?Where is our usual manager of mirth?What revels are in hand? Is there no play,To ease the anguish of a torturing hour?Call Philostrate.
PHILOSTRATE
Here, mighty Theseus.
THESEUS
Say, what abridgement have you for this evening?What masque? what music? How shall we beguileThe lazy time, if not with some delight?
