Read the Balcony Scene (Act 2, Scene 2)

THEN, as I told you, I am no such thing; / I am a spirit of no common rate, / The summer still doth tend upon my state, / And I do love thee so that I shall do thee mischief / If thou follow me. / Be not afraid, my love: what if I waked / Your gentle brain, and think I met you / In the dark? / I am the lovely boy. / Come, sit thee down upon this flowery bank, / And mark me, how I love thee. / Think even what thou wilt, / I am thy will. / And I will go with thee / To-morrow, and mark me, I will / To-morrow, and I will / Be with thee straightaway.
