Act 1
BENVOLIO: What sadness lengthens Romeos hours?
ROMEO: not having that, which, having makes them short.
BENVOLIO: In love?
ROMEO: Out
BENVOLIO: Of love?
ROMEO: Out of her favor where I am in love.
[Exit]
[Enter Capulet with Paris]
PARIS: But now, my lord, what say you to my suit?
CAPULET: Let two more summers wither in their pride,
Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.
She is the hopeful lady of my earth:
But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart,
[Exit]
[Enter LADY CAPULET and JULIET]
LADY CAPULET: Marry, that ‘marry’ is the very theme I came to talk of.
Tell me, daughter Juliet, How stands our disposition to be married?
JULIET: It is an honor that I dream not of.
LADY CAPULET: Well, think of marriage now;
The valiant Paris seeks you for his love.
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 gives strength to make it fly.
[Exit]
Scene 4:
[Enter Romeo, Mercutio, and Benvolio]
ROMEO: Is love a tender thing? It is too rough,
Too rude, to boisterous, and it pricks like thorn.
And we mean well in going to this mask;
But ‘tis no wit to go
Scene 5:
ROMEO: [To a Servingman] What lady is that, which doth enrich the hand of yonder Knight?
SERVANT: I know not, sir.
[ R+S, Stand to side]
TYBALT: Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe,
CAPULET: Young Romeo is it?
Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone;
He shall be endured
[Exit Capulet and Tybalt]
[Enter Romeo and Juliet]
ROMEO: [To Juliet] If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, read stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
