"Fetch me that flower. The herb I showed thee once.

(Bring me that flower. I showed it to you once.)

The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid

(If you put the juice of this flower on somebody's eyelids while they sleep)

Will make or man or woman madly dote

(They will fall deeply in love)

Upon the next live creature that it sees."

(With the first person they see.)

"A sweet Athenian lady is in love

(A sweet Athenian lady is in love)

With a disdainful youth. Anoint his eyes.

With a young man who rejects her. Put the juice of this flower on his eyes.

But do it when the next thing he espies

(But make sure that the first thing he sees)

May be the lady. Thou shalt know the man

(Is the lady. You will recognize the man)

By the Athenian garments he hath on.

(Because of his Athenian clothes.)

Effect it with some care, that he may prove

(Do it carefully, so that he loves her)

More fond on her than she upon her love."

(More than she loves him.)

as love doth give my heart; no woman's heart

so big, to hold so much; they lack retention.

hope this !
