That you are now a maid. Thus then in brief: |
The valiant Paris seeks you for his love. |
Nurse: |
A man, young lady! lady, such a man |
As all the world--why, he's a man of wax. |
LADY CAPULET: |
Verona's summer hath not such a flower. |
Nurse: |
Nay, he's a flower; in faith, a very flower. |
LADY CAPULET: |
What say you? can you love the gentleman? |
This night you shall behold him at our feast; |
Read o'er the volume of young Paris' face, |
And find delight writ there with beauty's pen; |
Examine every married lineament, |
And see how one another lends content |
And what obscured in this fair volume lies |
Find written in the margent of his eyes. |
This precious book of love, this unbound lover, |
To beautify him, only lacks a cover: |
The fish lives in the sea, and 'tis much pride |
For fair without the fair within to hide: |
That book in many's eyes doth share the glory, |
That in gold clasps locks in the golden story; |
So shall you share all that he doth possess, |
By having him, making yourself no less. |
Nurse: |
No less! nay, bigger; women grow by men. |
LADY CAPULET: |
Speak briefly, can you like of Paris' love? |
JULIET: |
I'll look to like, if looking liking move: |
But no more deep will I endart mine eye |
Than your consent gives strength to make it fly. |
Servant: |
Madam, the guests are come, supper served up, you |
called, my young lady asked for, the nurse cursed in |
the pantry, and every thing in extremity. I must |
hence to wait; I beseech you, follow straight. |
LADY CAPULET: |
We follow thee. |
Juliet, the county stays. |
Nurse: |
Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days. |
ROMEO: |
What, shall this speech be spoke for our excuse? |
Or shall we on without a apology? |
BENVOLIO: |
The date is out of such prolixity: |
We'll have no Cupid hoodwink'd with a scarf, |
Bearing a Tartar's painted bow of lath, |
Scaring the ladies like a crow-keeper; |
Nor no without-book prologue, faintly spoke |
After the prompter, for our entrance: |
But let them measure us by what they will; |
We'll measure them a measure, and be gone. |
ROMEO: |
Give me a torch: I am not for this ambling; |
Being but heavy, I will bear the light. |
MERCUTIO: |
Nay, gentle Romeo, we must have you dance. |
ROMEO: |
Not I, believe me: you have dancing shoes |
With nimble soles: I have a soul of lead |
So stakes me to the ground I cannot move. |
MERCUTIO: |
You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings, |
And soar with them above a common bound. |
ROMEO: |
I am too sore enpierced with his shaft |
To soar with his light feathers, and so bound, |
I cannot bound a pitch above dull woe: |
Under love's heavy burden do I sink. |
MERCUTIO: |
And, to sink in it, should you burden love; |
Too great oppression for a tender thing. |
ROMEO: |
Is love a tender thing? it is too rough, |
Too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn. |
MERCUTIO: |
