"O, Julius! if we could but find him for her again!" cried Rosamond. "I am afraid Archibald Douglas is not much more individual a name than John Smith," said Julius, sadly. "That tells as much against the Hippolyta man," said Rosamond. "Poor Archie would not be difficult to identify," said Julius; "for his hair was like mine, though his eyes were blue, and not short- sighted."
Hippolyta and Philippa Horsman were in tightly-made short-skirted dresses, pork-pie hats, and strong boots, all black picked out with scarlet, like Hippo's own complexion.
Of course I had to thank her and reply that my engagements did not allow me to accept her kind offer. Three days after, Victoire told me, as I was getting up, that they were going on board ship at three o'clock. Hippolyta and Gabrielle made me come for a ride, according to a promise I had given them the night before.
Ah, Anacharsis, the Thracians who invaded us with Eumolpus told another tale; so did your women who assailed Athens with Hippolyta; so every one who has met us in the field.
The only indication we have of the character of Hippolyta is in the last act, where she is so bored by the play of 'Pyramus and Thisbe. Does this show stupidity on her part or exceptional development? 2. Do you agree with Dowden that there is no figure in the early drama of Shakespeare so magnificent as Theseus?
Seeing how earnestly his fair auditors listened, he next told them how he had shot some monstrous birds, and had caught a wild bull alive, and let him go again, and had tamed a number of very wild horses, and had conquered Hippolyta, the warlike queen of the Amazons.
"I could not see why she should be kept out of the mummery," Thoroughgood responded, "if she had a mind for the masking." "Perhaps you are right," Halfman answered, meditatively. "My lady's example would make a Hippolyta of any housemaid of them all." "I do not know what it would make of them," Thoroughgood answered; "but I know this, that it matters very little now."
At last he recognized them, and congratulated me on my conquest, asking if I loved Hippolyta. I guessed his meaning, and said I only loved Gabrielle. "Very good," said he; "may I come and see you?" "Certainly," I replied. After a friendly hand-shake we set out once more, and were soon back in London.
That is the name she bears in Shakspeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream," the subject of which is the festivities attending the nuptials of Theseus and Hippolyta. Mrs. Hemans has a poem on the ancient Greek tradition that the "Shade of Theseus" appeared strengthening his countrymen at the battle of Marathon. Theseus is a semi-historical personage.
In a moment the sword of Theseus flashed between the fighters, and his voice thundered out, "Ho! no more, on pain of death. Who are ye who dare to fight here alone, with none to see justice done?" The princes turned and saw Theseus, Duke of Athens. Behind him rode Hippolyta with her sister, Emelia the Radiant, and many knights and ladies.
