Oberon anoints Titania's eyes as she sleeps. A weary Lysander and Hermia enter and fall asleep nearby. Robin, thinking he has found "the Athenian man," anoints the eyes of the sleeping Lysander and exits. Demetrius and Helena arrive, and he leaves her behind. Lysander awakes, sees Helena, and immediately falls in love with her. She mistakes his courtship for mockery and tries to elude him. After they exit, the abandoned Hermia awakes from a nightmare and goes in search of her beloved Lysander.
