Romeo & Juliet Page #2

Synopsis: In the city of Verona, two families have a prolonged and ancient feud. The Montagues and the Capulets co-exist under the stern eye of the Prince, but the hatred between the families threatens all, in particular the children. The young men of both families are hot-blooded and ready to fight at any provocation, despite the Prince's edict against such fights. But when young Romeo, a Montague, first sets eyes on the virginal Capulet daughter Juliet, no enmity between families can prevent his falling in love with her, and her with him. From this risk-laden romance comes both joy and tragedy for all.

A right good marksman!

And she's fair I love.

A right fair mark, fair coz, is soonest hit.

Well, in that hit you miss.

She'll not be hit with Cupid's arrow;

nor bide the encounter of assailing eyes,

nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold.

Then she hath sworn

that she will still live chaste?

She hath, and in that sparing

makes huge waste.

- Be ruled by me. Forget to think of her.

- Teach me how I should forget to think.

By giving liberty unto thine eyes.

Examine other beauties.

Why, Romeo, art thou mad?

Not mad,

but bound more than a madman is.

Shut up in prison, kept without

my food, whipp'd and tormented.

Good day, good fellow.

Now, I'll tell you without asking.

The great rich Capulet

holds an old accustom'd feast.

A fair assembly. Signor Placentio

and his wife and daughters,

the lady widow of Utruvio,

and her lovely nieces Rosaline...

At this same ancient feast of Capulet's

sups the fair Rosaline,

whom thou so loves,

with all the admired beauties of Verona.

If you be not of the House of Montague,

come and crush a cup of wine!

Go thither, and with unattainted eye

compare her face with some

that I shall show,

and I will make thee think thy swan a crow.

I'll go along, no such sight to be shown,

but to rejoice in splendor of mine own.

Juliet!

Juliet!

Juliet!

Juliet!

Nurse!

Nurse, where's my daughter?

Call her forth to me.

I bade her come. God forbid!

Julieta!

Juliet!

Juliet!

Juliet!

Madam, I am here. What is your will?

O nurse, give us leave awhile.

We must talk in secret.

Nurse, come back again!

I have remembered me.

Thou's hear our counsel.

Nurse, thou knowest

my daughter's of a pretty age.

Thou wast the prettiest babe

that e'er I nursed.

By my count, I was your mother

much upon these years.

You are now a maid.

Thus then in brief!

The valiant Paris seeks you for his love.

A man, young lady!

Lady, such a man as all the world.

Why, he's a man of wax!

Verona's summer hath not such a flower...

Nay, he's a flower. In faith, a very flower...

Nurse!

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.

This... precious book of love,

this unbound lover,

to beautify him, only lacks a cover.

So shall you share all that he doth possess,

by having him making yourself no less.

Nay, bigger. Women grow by men.

Speak briefly, can you like of Paris's love?

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.

Madam, the guests are come.

Go!

We follow thee.

Juliet!

Go, girl. Seek happy nights to happy days.

You taffeta punk!
