WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: A Midummer Night's Dream
Read the following extract and answer the question that follows:
Lysander riddles very prettily;
Now much beshrew my manners and my pride,
If Hermia meant to say Lysander lied.
But, gentle friend, for love and courtesy
Lie further off, in human modesty;
Such separation as may well be said
Becomes a virtuous bachelor and a maid;
So far be distant, and good night, sweet friend:
Thy love ne'er alter, till thy sweet life end!
Thy love ne'er alter, till thy sweet life end. implies
The phrase "till thy sweet life end" is a classic Shakespearean way of describing a love that lasts until death. It signifies a commitment that is constant and permanent, rather than "fickle" (changing).
