Lys. I will be with thee straight.
Puck.Follow me, then,
To plainer ground.
Enter Demetrius.
Dem.Lysander! speak again.404
Thou runaway, thou coward, art thou fled?
Speak! In some bush? Where dost thou hide thy head?
Puck. Thou coward! art thou bragging to the stars,
Telling the bushes that thou look'st for wars,
And wilt not come? Come, recreant; come, thou child;409
I'll whip thee with a rod: he is defil'd
That draws a sword on thee.
Dem.Yea, art thou there?
Puck. Follow my voice: we'll try no manhood here.
[Enter Lysander.]
Lys. He goes before me and still dares me on:
When I come where he calls, then he is gone.
The villain is much lighter-heel'd than I:
I follow'd fast, but faster he did fly;416
That fallen am I in dark uneven way,
And here will rest me.Lie down.
Come, thou gentle day!
For if but once thou show me thy grey light,
I'll find Demetrius and revenge this spite.420
Enter Robin and Demetrius.
Puck. Ho! ho! ho! Coward, why com'st thou not?
Dem. Abide me, if thou dar'st; for well I wot
