Quotes
-
Romeo : My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a gentle kiss.
-
Romeo : [at masquerade, looking at Juliet across crowded room] She doth teach the torches to burn bright.
[soft sigh]
Romeo : It seems she hangs on the cheek of night as a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear. Beauty too rich for use, for Earth too dear.
[soft sigh]
Romeo : So shows a showy dove, trooping with crows... as yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
[takes off his mask]
Romeo : Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
-
Romeo : But soft; what light through yonder window breaks? It is my lady! O, it is my love. O that she knew she were.
-
Romeo : Thus with a kiss I die.
-
Romeo : Death that hath sucked the honey of thy breath hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.
-
[enter Juliet above at a window]
Romeo : But soft. What light through yonder window breaks?
-
Romeo : O,she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows
-
Juliet : Yond light is not daylight. I know it, I.
[chuckles]
Juliet : Therefore stay yet. Thou need'st not to be gone.
Romeo : Oh, let me be taken,
[Juliet giggles as he jumps onto her]
Romeo : let me be put to death. I am content, so thou will have it so. I'll say yon grey is not the morning's eye. Nor that is not the lark whose notes do beat the vaulty heaven so high above our heads. Oh, I have more care to stay than will to go. Come, death, and welcome, Juliet wills it so.
Juliet : [eyes widen in alarm] It *is!* It *is!* Hie hence, be gone, away! Romeo, it *is!*
[jumps out of bed]
Juliet : It is the lark that sings so out of tune, straining harsh discords and unpleasing sharps. Some say the lark makes sweet division. Oh, this doth not so, for she divideth us. So, now be gone. More light and light it grows.
Romeo : More light and light. More dark and dark our woes!
[kisses Juliet passionately, with fervent desperation]
