ROMEO: |
Out of her favour, where I am in love. |
BENVOLIO: |
Alas, that love, so gentle in his view, |
Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof! |
ROMEO: |
Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still, |
Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will! |
Where shall we dine? O me! What fray was here? |
Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all. |
Here's much to do with hate, but more with love. |
Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate! |
O any thing, of nothing first create! |
O heavy lightness! serious vanity! |
Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms! |
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, |
sick health! |
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! |
This love feel I, that feel no love in this. |
Dost thou not laugh? |
BENVOLIO: |
No, coz, I rather weep. |
ROMEO: |
Good heart, at what? |
BENVOLIO: |
At thy good heart's oppression. |
ROMEO: |
Why, such is love's transgression. |
Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast, |
Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prest |
With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown |
Doth add more grief to too much of mine own. |
Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; |
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; |
Being vex'd a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears: |
What is it else? a madness most discreet, |
A choking gall and a preserving sweet. |
Farewell, my coz. |
BENVOLIO: |
Soft! I will go along; |
An if you leave me so, you do me wrong. |
ROMEO: |
Tut, I have lost myself; I am not here; |
This is not Romeo, he's some other where. |
BENVOLIO: |
Tell me in sadness, who is that you love. |
ROMEO: |
What, shall I groan and tell thee? |
BENVOLIO: |
Groan! why, no. |
But sadly tell me who. |
ROMEO: |
Bid a sick man in sadness make his will: |
Ah, word ill urged to one that is so ill! |
In sadness, cousin, I do love a woman. |
BENVOLIO: |
I aim'd so near, when I supposed you loved. |
ROMEO: |
A right good mark-man! And she's fair I love. |
BENVOLIO: |
A right fair mark, fair coz, is soonest hit. |
ROMEO: |
Well, in that hit you miss: she'll not be hit |
With Cupid's arrow; she hath Dian's wit; |
And, in strong proof of chastity well arm'd, |
From love's weak childish bow she lives unharm'd. |
She will not stay the siege of loving terms, |
Nor bide the encounter of assailing eyes, |
Nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold: |
O, she is rich in beauty, only poor, |
That when she dies with beauty dies her store. |
BENVOLIO: |
Then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste? |
ROMEO: |
She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste, |
For beauty starved with her severity |
Cuts beauty off from all posterity. |
She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair, |
To merit bliss by making me despair: |
She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow |
Do I live dead that live to tell it now. |
