A Midsummer Night's Dream

Now faire Hippolita, our nuptiall houre Drawes on apace: foure happy daies bring in Another Moon: but oh, me thinkes, how slow This old Moon wanes; She lingers my desires Like to a Step-dame, or a Dowager, Long withering out a yong mans reuennew

现在，美丽的希波吕忒，我们的婚礼时刻即将来临：四天快乐的日子带来另一轮月亮：但是，哦，我觉得这旧月亮消逝得多么缓慢；她拖延了我的欲望，就像一个继母或寡妇，长久地耗尽一个年轻人的收入

Foure daies wil quickly steep the[m]selues in nights Foure nights wil quickly dreame away the time: And then the Moone, like to a siluer bow, Now bent in heauen, shal behold the night Of our solemnities

四天很快就会沉浸在夜晚中；四夜很快就会在梦中度过时间：然后月亮，就像一把银弓，现在弯曲在天空中，将见证我们庄严仪式的夜晚
