Question: How would you pronounce this!?
In Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act 5, Scene 1, line 253, Starveling says "This lanthorn doth the horned moon present!." Would the "present" be pronounced like present, to be there, or like present, to show!?
Thanks for your help! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
