ieri sera ho visto il film diWilliam Shakespeare - A Midnight Summer Dream

EGEUS. Full of vexation come I, with complaint/Against my child, my daughter Hermia./Stand forth, Demetrius. My noble lord,/This man hath my consent to marry her./Stand forth, Lysander. And, my gracious Duke,/This man hath bewitch'd the bosom of my child./Thou, thou, Lysander, thou hast given her rhymes,/And interchang'd love-tokens with my child;/Thou hast by moonlight at her window sung,/With feigning voice, verses of feigning love,/And stol'n the impression of her fantasy/With bracelets of thy hair, rings, gawds, conceits,/Knacks, trifles, nosegays, sweetmeats- messengers/Of strong prevailment in unhardened youth;/With cunning hast thou filch'd my daughter's heart;/Turn'd her obedience, which is due to me,/To stubborn harshness. And, my gracious Duke,/Be it so she will not here before your Grace/Consent to marry with Demetrius,/I beg the ancient privilege of Athens:/As she is mine I may dispose of her;/Which shall be either to this gentleman/Or to her death, according to our law/Immediately provided in that case
