It´s only love, love, love!   LYSANDER Demetrius, I'll avouch it to his head, Made love to Nedar's daughter, Helena, And won her soul; and she, sweet lady, dotes, Devoutly dotes, dotes in idolatry, Upon this spotted and inconstant man. (1.1.106)  This is interesting.  Here, we learn that Demetrius was once engaged ("made love to") to another girl, Helena, before dropping her to be with Hermia.  Long before the fairies' love juice causes Demetrius to fall back in love with Helena (2.2; 3.2), we learn that lovers can be fickle and erratic, even without the help of some magic potion.

Measurements are ways that we tell others how much of an item we have. There are two systems of measuring things—English and Metric. English measurements are used  in the United States and UK, while metric measurements are used in nearly every other country. Measurements are used to give number values to distance (length, width, and height), weight, time, volume (liquid measurements), and temperature.         Common English Measures Distance Inches (in) 12 in = 1 ft Feet (ft) 3 ft = 1 yd Yards (yd) 1760 yd = 1 mi Miles (mi) 1 mi = 5280 ft Weight Ounces (oz) 16 oz = 1 lb Pounds (lb) 2000 lb = 1 t Tons (t) 1 t
