Lady Capluet Well, think of marriage now. Younger than you 75 Here in Verona, ladies of esteem, Are made already mothers. By my count I was your mother much upon these years That you are now a maid. Thus, then, in brief: The valiant Paris seeks you for his love. 80 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. What say you? Can you love the gentleman? 85 This night you shall behold him at our feast.

2 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, 90 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 95 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. 100 No less?

4 The Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of and Act II Scene 2 lines 1-66 Scene 2 { comes forward.} He jests at scars that never felt a wound. {Enter above.} But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief 5 That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. Be not her maid since she is envious. Her vestal livery is but sick and green, And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off. It is my lady. O, it is my love! 10 O, that she knew she were! She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of that? Her eye discourses; I will answer it. I am too bold. Tis not to me she speaks. Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, 15 Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those Stars 20 As daylight doth a lamp; her eye in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night. See how she leans her cheek upon her hand. O, that I were a glove upon that hand, 25 That I might touch that cheek! Ay me. {aside} She speaks. O, speak again, bright angel, for thou art As glorious to this night, being o er my head, 30 As is a wingèd messenger of heaven Unto the white-upturnèd wond ring eyes Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him When he bestrides the lazy puffing clouds And sails upon the bosom of the air. 35 O,, wherefore art thou? Deny thy father and refuse thy name, Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I ll no longer be a Capulet. {aside} Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this? 40 Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face. O, be some other name Belonging to a man. 45

5 What s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet. So would, were he not called, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title., doff thy name, 50 And, for thy name, which is no part of thee, Take all myself. I take thee at thy word. Call me but love, and I ll be new baptized. Henceforth I never will be. 55 What man art thou that, thus bescreened in night, So stumblest on my counsel? By a name I know not how to tell thee who I am. My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself 60 Because it is an enemy to thee. Had I it written, I would tear the word. My ears have yet not drunk a hundred words Of thy tongue s uttering, yet I know the sound. Art thou not, and a Montague? 65 Neither, fair maid, if either thee dislike.
