Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Fair Hermia Thou waseth my trus't love forever

Mine truest love hath changed, nothing now

I hath said we would let love fade never

But fair Hermia, time passeth, take this bow

If'eth thou art sad, brush'eth thou tears away

Someoneth loves you, do not thou despair

Thou may not satisfy that hunger away

Of true love, but not beyond'eth repair

Blame it on those fairies, and the potion

Did cometh it from a flower of death?

The death of love, of sweet love in motion?

Thou art sweet as a flower of Saint Beth

Fair love, someone loveth you, don't despair

For love is never beyondeth repair

I'm always happy to help :)

A sonnet from Lysander to Hermia in the A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Act I. Scene 1.

The place: The palace of Theseus, Athens.

Lysander. How now, my love! why is your cheek so pale? pale

How chance the roses there do fade so fast?

Hermia. Belike for want of rain, which I could well

Beteem them from the tempest of my eyes.

Lysander. Ay me! for aught that I could ever read,

Could ever hear by tale or history,

The course of true love never did run smooth;

But, either it was different in blood,

Hermia. O cross! too high to be enthrall'd to low.

Lysander. Or else misgraffed in respect of years,

Hermia. O spite! too old to be engaged to young.

Lysander. Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,

Hermia. O hell! to choose love by another's eyes.

(Taken directly from Act 1, Scene 1, of A Midsummer Night's Dream).

The Love between Lysander and Hermia is sincere but difficult to understand, and finally, she decides to run away.
