Read the extract and answer the following question.

As wagish boys in a game themselves forswear;
So the boy Love is perjured everywhere;
For ere Demetrius looked on Hermia's eyne,
He hailed down oaths that he was only mine;
And when this hail some heat from Hermia felt,
So he dissolved and showers of oaths did melt
