Dii boni,
A tinker, damsel?

DAUGHTER
Or a conjurer; [85]
Raise me a devil now, and let him play
Chi passa o’ th’bells and bones.

SCHOOLMASTER
Go take her,
And fluently persuade her to a peace.
Et opus exegi, quod nec Iovis ira nec ignis −
Strike up, and lead her in.

SECOND COUNTRYMAN

Come, lass, let’s trip it. [90]

DAUGHTER

I’ll lead.

THIRD COUNTRYMAN
Do, do.

SCHOOLMASTER
Persuasively and cunningly! Away, boys.
Horns sound within.
I hear the horns; give me some meditation,

And mark your cue.
Exeunt all but Schoolmaster.
Pallas inspire me!

Enter Theseus, Pirithous, Hippolyta, Emilia, Arcite, and train.

THESEUS
This way the stag took.

SCHOOLMASTER
