In Shakespeare%26#039;s A Midsummer Night%26#039;s Dream, Act 5, Scene 1, line 253, Starveling says %26quot;This lanthorn doth the horned moon present.%26quot; Would the %26quot;present%26quot; be pronounced like present, to be there, or like present, to show?
Thanks for your help! :)
How would you pronounce this?
accent on second syllable, it is the symbol of the moon.
How would you pronounce this?
pre%26#039; sent as to show.
Reply:Obviously he means %26quot;represents%26quot; so it would be pre sent as to exist.
Reply:present to show =p
