ROMEO
|
[To JULIET] If I profane with my unworthiest hand
|
|
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
|
|
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
|
|
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
|
JULIET
|
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
|
|
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
|
|
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
|
|
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
|
ROMEO
|
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
|
JULIET
|
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
|
ROMEO
|
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
|
|
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
|
JULIET
|
Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.
|
ROMEO
|
Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
|
|
Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.
|
JULIET
|
Then have my lips the sin that they have took.
|
ROMEO
|
Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
|
|
Give me my sin again.
|
JULIET
|
You kiss by the book.
|
Nurse
|
Madam, your mother craves a word with you.
|
ROMEO
|
What is her mother?
|
Nurse
|
Marry, bachelor,
|
|
Her mother is the lady of the house,
|
|
And a good lady, and a wise and virtuous
|
|
I nursed her daughter, that you talk'd withal;
|
|
I tell you, he that can lay hold of her
|
|
Shall have the chinks.
|
ROMEO
|
Is she a Capulet?
|
|
O dear account! my life is my foe's debt.
|
BENVOLIO
|
Away, be gone; the sport is at the best.
|
ROMEO
|
Ay, so I fear; the more is my unrest.
|
CAPULET
|
Nay, gentlemen, prepare not to be gone;
|
|
We have a trifling foolish banquet towards.
|
|
Is it e'en so? why, then, I thank you all
|
|
I thank you, honest gentlemen; good night.
|
|
More torches here! Come on then, let's to bed.
|
|
Ah, sirrah, by my fay, it waxes late:
|
|
I'll to my rest.
|
JULIET
|
Come hither, nurse. What is yond gentleman?
|
Nurse
|
The son and heir of old Tiberio.
|
JULIET
|
What's he that now is going out of door?
|
Nurse
|
Marry, that, I think, be young Petrucio.
|
JULIET
|
What's he that follows there, that would not dance?
|
Nurse
|
I know not.
|
JULIET
|
Go ask his name: if he be married,
|
|
My grave is like to be my wedding bed.
|
Nurse
|
His name is Romeo, and a Montague;
|
|
The only son of your great enemy.
|
JULIET
|
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.
|
Nurse
|
What's this? what's this?
|
JULIET
|
A rhyme I learn'd even now
|
|
Of one I danced withal.
|
Nurse
|
Anon, anon!
|
|
Come, let's away; the strangers all are gone.
