Looking at the highlighted portion, which of the following best translates what Benvolio is saying?

BENVOLIO

Madam, an hour before the worshipp'd sun

Peer'd forth the golden window of the east,

A troubled mind drave me to walk abroad;

Where, underneath the grove of sycamore

That westward rooteth from the city's side,

So early walking did I see your son:

Towards him I made, but he was ware of me

And stole into the covert of the wood:

I, measuring his affections by my own,

That most are busied when they're most alone,

Pursued my humour not pursuing his,

And gladly shunn'd who gladly fled from me.

MONTAGUE

Many a morning hath he there been seen,

With tears augmenting the fresh morning dew.

Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs;

But all so soon as the all-cheering sun

Should in the furthest east begin to draw

The shady curtains from Aurora's bed,

Away from the light steals home my heavy son,

And private in his chamber pens himself,

Shuts up his windows, locks far daylight out

And makes himself an artificial night:

Black and portentous must this humour prove,

Unless good counsel may the cause remove.

• I saw Romeo walking, but he saw me and ran into the woods. I thought it best to not chase after him.

• Romeo saw me walking restlessly and hid. When I saw him hiding, I laughed, and he ran away.

• Romeo was following me in the early morning hours, but every time I turned to look for him, he hid in the woods. It was weird.

• I was having a great morning until I saw Romeo looking gloomy outside the city walls. I chose to ignore him.
