ROMEO:

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

rejoice in splendor of mine own.

LADY CAPULET:

J U L I E T ! ! ! ! Juliet! Juliet! Juliet! Nurse.

Nurse, where's my daughter? call her forth to me.

NURSE:

I bade her come. God forbid! Juliet! Juliet! Juliet!

JULIET:

Madam, I am here. What is your will?

LADY CAPULET:

Nurse, give leave awhile, We must talk in secret.

Nurse, come back again; I have remember'd me, thou's

hear our counsel. Nurse, Thou know'st my daughter's

of a pretty age.

NURSE:

Thou wast the prettiest babe that e'er I nursed.

LADY CAPULET:

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.

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:

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.

NURSE:

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 to

give strength to make it fly.

SERVANT:

Madam, the guests are come.

LADY CAPULET:

Go! We follow thee. Juliet, Blah!

NURSE:

Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days.

MERCUTIO:

Young hearts run free. Never be caught up, caught up

like Rosaline and thee. Nay, gentle Romeo, we must

have you dance.

ROMEO:

Not I, Not I believe me: you have dancing shoes With

nimble soles:
I have a soul of lead

MERCUTIO:

You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings, And soar with

them above a common bound.

ROMEO:

Under love's heavy burden do I sink.

MERCUTIO:

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.
