Shakespeare's Opening Lines: The Quiz

Question #5: CORRECT!

Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour
Draws on apace; four happy days bring in
Another moon: but, O, methinks, how slow
This old moon wanes! she lingers my desires,
Like to a step-dame or a dowager
Long withering out a young man revenue.
A Midsummer Night's Dream (1.1)
