Theseus: either to die the death, or to abjure for ever the society of men. therefore, fair hermia, question your desires, know of your youth, examine well your blood, whether, if you yield not to your father's choice, you can endure the livery of a nun, for aye to be in shady cloister mew’d, to live a barren sister all your life, chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon.(75) thrice-blessed they that master so their blood to undergo such maiden pilgrimage; but earthlier happy is the rose distill’d than that which, withering on the virgin thorn grows, lives, and dies, in single blessedness.(80) for what purpose does theseus most likely invoke imagery of the “cold fruitless moon” in his response to hermia?
