For Venus smiles not in a house of tears.
|
Now, sir, her father counts it dangerous
|
That she doth give her sorrow so much sway,
|
And in his wisdom hastes our marriage,
|
To stop the inundation of her tears;
|
Which, too much minded by herself alone,
|
May be put from her by society:
|
Now do you know the reason of this haste.
|
FRIAR LAURENCE:
|
PARIS:
|
Happily met, my lady and my wife!
|
JULIET:
|
That may be, sir, when I may be a wife.
|
PARIS:
|
That may be must be, love, on Thursday next.
|
JULIET:
|
What must be shall be.
|
FRIAR LAURENCE:
|
That's a certain text.
|
PARIS:
|
Come you to make confession to this father?
|
JULIET:
|
To answer that, I should confess to you.
|
PARIS:
|
Do not deny to him that you love me.
|
JULIET:
|
I will confess to you that I love him.
|
PARIS:
|
So will ye, I am sure, that you love me.
|
JULIET:
|
If I do so, it will be of more price,
|
Being spoke behind your back, than to your face.
|
PARIS:
|
Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears.
|
JULIET:
|
The tears have got small victory by that;
|
For it was bad enough before their spite.
|
PARIS:
|
Thou wrong'st it, more than tears, with that report.
|
JULIET:
|
That is no slander, sir, which is a truth;
|
And what I spake, I spake it to my face.
|
PARIS:
|
Thy face is mine, and thou hast slander'd it.
|
JULIET:
|
It may be so, for it is not mine own.
|
Are you at leisure, holy father, now;
|
Or shall I come to you at evening mass?
|
FRIAR LAURENCE:
|
My leisure serves me, pensive daughter, now.
|
My lord, we must entreat the time alone.
|
PARIS:
|
God shield I should disturb devotion!
|
Juliet, on Thursday early will I rouse ye:
|
Till then, adieu; and keep this holy kiss.
|
JULIET:
|
O shut the door! and when thou hast done so,
|
Come weep with me; past hope, past cure, past help!
|
FRIAR LAURENCE:
|
Ah, Juliet, I already know thy grief;
|
It strains me past the compass of my wits:
|
I hear thou must, and nothing may prorogue it,
|
On Thursday next be married to this county.
|
JULIET:
|
Tell me not, friar, that thou hear'st of this,
|
Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it:
|
If, in thy wisdom, thou canst give no help,
|
Do thou but call my resolution wise,
|
And with this knife I'll help it presently.
|
God join'd my heart and Romeo's, thou our hands;
|
And ere this hand, by thee to Romeo seal'd,
|
Shall be the label to another deed,
|
Or my true heart with treacherous revolt
|
Turn to another, this shall slay them both:
|
Therefore, out of thy long-experienced time,
|
Give me some present counsel, or, behold,
|
'Twixt my extremes and me this bloody knife
|
