MERCUTIO:
|
That's as much as to say, such a case as yours
|
constrains a man to bow in the hams.
|
ROMEO:
|
Meaning, to court'sy.
|
MERCUTIO:
|
Thou hast most kindly hit it.
|
ROMEO:
|
A most courteous exposition.
|
MERCUTIO:
|
Nay, I am the very pink of courtesy.
|
ROMEO:
|
Pink for flower.
|
MERCUTIO:
|
Right.
|
ROMEO:
|
Why, then is my pump well flowered.
|
MERCUTIO:
|
Well said: follow me this jest now till thou hast
|
worn out thy pump, that when the single sole of it
|
is worn, the jest may remain after the wearing sole singular.
|
ROMEO:
|
O single-soled jest, solely singular for the
|
singleness.
|
MERCUTIO:
|
Come between us, good Benvolio; my wits faint.
|
ROMEO:
|
Switch and spurs, switch and spurs; or I'll cry a match.
|
MERCUTIO:
|
Nay, if thy wits run the wild-goose chase, I have
|
done, for thou hast more of the wild-goose in one of
|
thy wits than, I am sure, I have in my whole five:
|
was I with you there for the goose?
|
ROMEO:
|
Thou wast never with me for any thing when thou wast
|
not there for the goose.
|
MERCUTIO:
|
I will bite thee by the ear for that jest.
|
ROMEO:
|
Nay, good goose, bite not.
|
MERCUTIO:
|
Thy wit is a very bitter sweeting; it is a most
|
sharp sauce.
|
ROMEO:
|
And is it not well served in to a sweet goose?
|
MERCUTIO:
|
O here's a wit of cheveril, that stretches from an
|
inch narrow to an ell broad!
|
ROMEO:
|
I stretch it out for that word 'broad;' which added
|
to the goose, proves thee far and wide a broad goose.
|
MERCUTIO:
|
Why, is not this better now than groaning for love?
|
now art thou sociable, now art thou Romeo; now art
|
thou what thou art, by art as well as by nature:
|
for this drivelling love is like a great natural,
|
that runs lolling up and down to hide his bauble in a hole.
|
BENVOLIO:
|
Stop there, stop there.
|
MERCUTIO:
|
Thou desirest me to stop in my tale against the hair.
|
BENVOLIO:
|
Thou wouldst else have made thy tale large.
|
MERCUTIO:
|
O, thou art deceived; I would have made it short:
|
for I was come to the whole depth of my tale; and
|
meant, indeed, to occupy the argument no longer.
|
ROMEO:
|
Here's goodly gear!
|
MERCUTIO:
|
A sail, a sail!
|
BENVOLIO:
|
