Go, Philostrate,

Sir up the Athenian youth to merriments;

Awake the pert and nimble spirit of mirth;

Turn melancholy forth to funerals:

The pale companion is not our pomp

Hippolyta, I wooed thee with my sword,

And won thy love doing thee injuries;

But I will wed thee in another key,

With pomp with triumph, and with reveling ( Act 1, Scene One, Lines 12-20)

Who is the speaker?

  • A Demetrius
