And when this hail some heat from Hermia felt,
So he dissolved, and showers of oaths did melt.
I will go tell him of fair Hermia’s flight.
Then to the wood will he tomorrow night
Pursue her. And for this intelligence
If I have thanks, it is a dear expense.
But herein mean I to enrich my pain,
To have his sight thither and back again.

But when he got all hot and bothered
over Hermia, his promises melted away. I’ll go tell
Demetrius that Hermia is running away tomorrow night.
He’ll run after her. If he’s grateful to me
for this information, it’ll be worth my pain in helping
him pursue my rival Hermia. At least I’ll get to see him
when he goes, and then again when he comes back.
