Will make or man or woman madly dote

Quote 2 (Act 2 Scene 1, Lines 247-254)

"A sweet Athenian lady is in love

With a disdainful youth. Anoint his eyes.

But do it when the next thing he espies

May be the lady. Thou shalt know the man

By the Athenian garments he hath on.

Effect it with some care, that he may prove

More fond on her than she upon her love. "

Translation:

A sweet Athenian lady is in love

With a young man who rejects her. Put the juice of this flower on his eyes.

But make sure that the first thing he sees is the lady. You will recognize the man

Because of his Athenian clothes.

Do it carefully, so that he loves her

More than she loves him.
