i need help on an assignment i had gotten for drama. and i have no clue... i have to covert a shakeshpere monologe to today's modern languge.... here' the monloge:
Play: Midsummer night's dream
Character: Helena
Body:
Call you me fair? That fair again unsay.
Demetrius loves you fair, O happy fair!
Your eyes are lode-stars; and your tounge's sweet air.
More tuneable than lark to shepherd's ear,
When wheat is green, when hawthorn bud's appear
Sickness is catching; O, were favour so,
My ear should catch your voice, my eye your eye
My tounge should catch your tounge's sweet melody,
Were the world mine, Demetrius being bated,
The rest I'd give to you translated.
O, teach me how you look, and with what art.
You sway the motion pf Demetrius' heart.
this is what i chose for a monologe and the modern english translation is due tomorrow. so i need ur help
