Need help!!

[kay.tee]

I don't really know much about midsummer night's dream...... i need some help. I don't understand what helena is saying in these few lines........

O weary night, O long and tedious night,
Abate thy hour! Shine comforts from the east,
That I may back to Athens by daylight,
From these that my poor company detest:
And sleep, that sometimes shuts up the sorrow's eye,
Steal me awhile from mine own company.

I'm quite young but i'm doing this speech for my half yearly and part of it is to choose a couple of lines where the character you have picked is speaking. I need to describe this is my own words but I barely understand how these people talk!!

what is helena saying in these few lines?

I think this is what she is saying-
This is a long and horrible night, please hurry up and let daylight shine from the east to comfort me. So that I can be in Athens by daylight and away from those that poor me hates, And let sleep take me away from myself because sleep sometimes takes away sorrow.

Does that sound right?

I agree with the previous post - I think this is what Helena means, too!

Hope this helps, Daizee xxx

More simply--I'm tired, I want to go home and get away from these people!
