myShakespeare | Midsummer Night's Dream 1.1 Performance: Theseus Lines 83-90

Theseus

Take time to pause, and by the next new moon —
The sealing day betwixt my love and me
For everlasting bond of fellowship —
Upon that day either prepare to die
For disobedience to your father's will,
Or else to wed Demetrius as he would,
Or on Diana's altar to protest
For aye austerity and single life.
