myShakespeare | Midsummer Night's Dream 4.1 Performance: Theseus and Egeus Lines 127b-138

But soft, what nymphs are these?

My lord, this is my daughter here asleep,

And this Lysander; this Demetrius is,

This Helena, old Nedar's Helena.

I wonder of their being here together.

No doubt they rose up early to observe

The rite of May, and hearing our intent,

Came here in grace of our solemnity.

But speak, Egeus, is not this the day

That Hermia should give answer of her choice?

It is, my lord.

Go bid the huntsmen wake them with their horns.
