Fetch me my rapier, boy. . .

Now, by the stock and honor of my kin,

To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.

But saying o'er what I have said before:

My child is yet a stranger in the world,

She hath not seen the change of fourteen years;

Let two more summers wither in their pride

Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.

My only love, sprung from my only hate!

Too early seen unknown, and known too late!

Prodigious birth of love it is to me

That I must love a loathed enemy.

By thee old Capulet and Montague, Have thrice disturbed the quiet of our streets . . .

If ever you disturb our streets again,

Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.

At this same ancient feast of Capulet's

Sups the fair Rosaline whom thou so lovest,

With all the admired beauties of Verona.

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.

. . . my mind misgives

Some consequence, yet hanging in the stars,

Shall bitterly begin his fearful date

With this night's revels and expire the term

Of a despised life, closed in my breast,

By some vile forfeit of untimely death.

. . . Read o'er the volume of young Paris' face,

And find delight writ there with beauty's pen'

Examine every several lineament,

And see how one another lends content;

And what obscured in this fair volume lies

Find written in the margin of his eyes.

This precious book of love, this unbound lover,

To beautify him only lacks a cover. . . .

With nimble soles; I have a soul of lead

So stakes me to the ground I cannot move.
