Egeus: Lysander has used ARTS AND ALLUREMENTS against my child!
Audience: Okay, how did he seduce her?
Egeus: He gave her poetry, sang outside her window, gifted her jewelry, sent her flowers, sent delicious snacks, and thereby STOLE her heart.
Audience:
(I borrowed "arts and allurements" from Lady Catherine in Pride & Prejudice, the actual quote is "hath bewitched the bosom of my child")
