(A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, ACT II: MOTIF AND IMAGERY)

Answer 1

A Sonnet from Hermia to LysanderEnraptured heart, thou art my soul's delight,

My love for thee burns bright as the noon sun,

Thine eyes doth pierce my soul with love's pure light,

Thy touch, a blissful joy that can't be won.Yet in this forest, strange and mystical,

Thou spakest words that caused my heart to break,

Thy love for me, turned fickle and whimsical,

As if 'twere but a fleeting dream, a fake.O Lysander, thou who once were true,

Hast thou been ensnared by fairy spell?

Or potions brewed by Puck, the mischievous crew,

To alter love, and cast us under their spell?I pray thee, love, return to me thy heart,

And let our love shine bright, ne'er to depart.(Note: This sonnet follows the Shakespearean sonnet form with fourteen lines, ten syllables per line, and a rhyme scheme of ABABCDCDEFEFGG. It expresses Hermia's lament for Lysander's change in affection towards her based on the events of Act II in "A Midsummer Night's Dream.")
