A midsummer night's dream: prepositions



Prepositions were less standardized in Elizabethan English than they are today and so we find several uses in A Midsummer Night\'s Dream that would have to be modified in contemporary speech. Among these are

\"in\" for \"on\":

Or in the beached margent of the sea,

(II, i, 85)


\"upon\" for \"by\":


To die upon the hand I love so well.
(II, i, 244)

\"on\" for \"of\":

More fond on her than she upon her love:

(II, i, 266)


\"against\" for \"in anticipation of\":

And now have toiled their unbreathed memories
With this same play against your nuptial.

(V, i, 74-75)


and \"to\" for \"in\":

In least speak most, to my capacity. (V, i, 105)
