A Midsummer Night's Dream - Page 50

ROBIN Up and down, up and down,

I will lead them up and down.

I am feared in field and town.

Goblin412, lead them up and down.

Here comes one.

Enter Lysander

LYSANDER Where art thou, proud Demetrius? Speak thou now.

ROBIN Here, villain, drawn415 and ready.

Imitating Demetrius

Where art thou?

LYSANDER I will be with thee straight417.

ROBIN Follow me, then, to plainer418 ground.

Exit Lysander,

following the voice

Enter Demetrius

DEMETRIUS Lysander, speak again;

Thou runaway, thou coward, art thou fled?

Speak! In some bush? Where dost thou hide thy head?

ROBIN Thou coward, art thou bragging to the stars,

Imitating Lysander

Telling the bushes that thou look'st for wars,

And wilt not come? Come, recreant424, come, thou child.

I'll whip thee with a rod. He is defiled

That draws a sword on thee.

DEMETRIUS Yea, art thou there?

ROBIN Follow my voice. We'll try428 no manhood here.

Exeunt

Enter Lysander

LYSANDER He goes before me and still dares me on.

When I come where he calls, then he's gone.
