More light, ye knaves! and turn the tables up,
And quench the fire, the room is grown too

Ah! sirrah, this unlook'd-for sport comes well.
Nay, sit, nay, sit, good cousin Capulet,
For you and I are past our dancing days:
How long is't now, since last yourself and I
Were in a mask?

O! she doth teach the torches to burn bright. It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night, Like a rich jewel in an Æthiop's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.

The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand, And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! I never saw true beauty till this night.

Benvolio.

Romeo! my cousin Romeo! Romco!
Mercutio.

He is wise;
And, on my life, hath stolen him home to bed.
Benyolio.

He ran this way, and leap'd this orchard wall. Call, good Mercutio.

Mercutio

Nay, I'll conjure too.Romeo, humours, madman, passion, lover! Appear thou in the likeness of a sigh:

Cry but-Ah me! pronounce but-love and dove;
Speak to my gossip Venus one fair word,
One nick-name for her purblind son and heir,
Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim,
When king Cophetua lov'd the beggar-maid.-
He heareth not, he stirreth not, he moveth not;
The ape is dead, and I must conjure him.-
I conjure thee by Rosaline's bright eyes,
By her high forehead, and her scarlet lip,
By her fine foot, straight leg, and quivering thigh,
And the demesnes that there adjacent lie,
That in thy likeness thou appear to us.

SCENE 11. Capulet's Garden.
Enter Romeo.
Romeo.

He jests at scars, that never felt

a wound.

Julict appears above, at a window.
But, soft! what light through yonder window
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun! - [breaks ?
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
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 rone but fools do wear it; cast it off. -
It is my lady; Ol it is my love:

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,
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,

As daylight doth a lamp: her eyes 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! Of that I were a glove upon that hand,

That I might touch that cheek.

Jullet.

Ah me!

Juliet.

'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, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O! be some other name. What's in a name? that which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes, Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name; And for thy name, which is no part of thee, Take all myself?

Romeo.

I take thee at thy word.

Call me but love, and I'll be new baptiz'd;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.

Juliet.

What man art thou, that, thus bescreen'd in

So stumblest on my counsel?

Romeo.

By a name

I know not how to tell thee who I am:
My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself,
Because it is an enemy to thee:
Had I it written, I would tear the word.

Juliet.

[night,

My ears have yet not drunk a hundred words Of that tongue's utterance, yet I know the sound. Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?

Romeo.

Neither, fair saint, if either thee displease.

Juliet.

How cam'st thou hither, tell me? and where-
fore?

The orchard walls are high, and hard to climb;
And the place death, considering who thou art,
If any of my kinsmen find thee here.

Romeo.

With love's light wings did I o'erperch these
walls;

For stony limits cannot hold love out:
And what love can do, that dares love attempt;
Therefore, thy kinsmen are no let to me.

Juliet.

If they do see thee, they will murder thee.
Romeo.

Alack! there lies more peril in thine eye,
Than twenty of their swords: look thou but
And I am proof against their enmity.

Juliet.

(sweet,

I would not for the world they saw thee here.
Romeo.

I have night's cloak to hide me from their
eyes;
And but thou love me, let them find me here:
My life were better ended by their hate,
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.

Juliet.

By whose direction found'st thou out this place?

Romeo.

By love, that first did prompt me to inquire; He lent me counsel, and I lent him eyes. I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far As that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea, I would adventure for such merchandise.

Juliet.

Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face;

Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek, For that which thou hast heard me speak to

night.

Fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny What I have spoke: but farewell compliment! Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say

Or

Ay;

if thou think'st I

And I will take thy word; yet, if thou swear'st,
Thou may'st prove false at lovers' perjuries,
They say, Jove laughs. O, gentle Romeo!
If thou dost love pronounce it faithfully:
am too quickly won,
I'll frown, and be perverse, and say thee nay,
So thou wilt woo; but, else, not for the world.
In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond;
And therefore thou may'st think my haviour
light:
