1 |
How now! who calls? |
|
2 |
Madam, I am here.
|
|
3 |
And stint thou too, I pray thee, nurse, say I. |
|
4 |
It is an honour that I dream not of. |
|
5 |
I'll look to like, if looking liking move:
|
|
6 |
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
|
|
7 |
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. |
|
8 |
Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake. |
|
9 |
Then have my lips the sin that they have took. |
|
10 |
You kiss by the book. |
|
11 |
Come hither, nurse. What is yond gentleman? |
|
12 |
What's he that now is going out of door? |
|
13 |
What's he that follows there, that would not dance? |
|
14 |
Go ask his name: if he be married.
|
|
15 |
My only love sprung from my only hate!
|
|
16 |
A rhyme I learn'd even now
|
|
17 |
Ay me! |
|
18 |
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
|
|
19 |
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
|
|
20 |
What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night
|
|
21 |
My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words
|
|
22 |
How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?
|
|
23 |
If they do see thee, they will murder thee. |
|
24 |
I would not for the world they saw thee here. |
|
25 |
By whose direction found'st thou out this place? |
|
26 |
Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,
|
|
27 |
O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
|
|
28 |
Do not swear at all;
|
|
29 |
Well, do not swear: although I joy in thee,
|
|
30 |
What satisfaction canst thou have to-night? |
|
31 |
I gave thee mine before thou didst request it:
|
|
32 |
But to be frank, and give it thee again.
|
|
33 |
Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed.
|
|
34 |
I come, anon.—But if thou mean'st not well,
|
|
35 |
By and by, I come:—
|
|
36 |
A thousand times good night! |
|
37 |
Hist! Romeo, hist! O, for a falconer's voice,
|
|
38 |
Romeo! |
|
39 |
At what o'clock to-morrow
|
|
40 |
I will not fail: 'tis twenty years till then.
|
|
41 |
I shall forget, to have thee still stand there,
|
|
42 |
'Tis almost morning; I would have thee gone:
|
|
43 |
Sweet, so would I:
|
|
44 |
The clock struck nine when I did send the nurse;
|
|
45 |
Now, good sweet nurse,—O Lord, why look'st thou sad?
|
|
46 |
I would thou hadst my bones, and I thy news:
|
|
47 |
How art thou out of breath, when thou hast breath
|
|
48 |
No, no: but all this did I know before.
|
|
49 |
I' faith, I am sorry that thou art not well.
|
|
50 |
Where is my mother! why, she is within;
|
|
51 |
Here's such a coil! come, what says Romeo? |
|
52 |
I have. |
|
53 |
Hie to high fortune! Honest nurse, farewell. |
|
54 |
Good even to my ghostly confessor. |
|
55 |
As much to him, else is his thanks too much. |
|
56 |
Conceit, more rich in matter than in words,
|
|
57 |
Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds,
|
|
58 |
Ay me! what news? why dost thou wring thy hands? |
|
59 |
Can heaven be so envious? |
|
60 |
What devil art thou, that dost torment me thus?
|
|
61 |
O, break, my heart! poor bankrupt, break at once!
|
|
62 |
What storm is this that blows so contrary?
|
|
63 |
O God! did Romeo's hand shed Tybalt's blood? |
|
64 |
O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!
|
|
65 |
Blister'd be thy tongue
|
|
66 |
Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband?
|
|
67 |
Wash they his wounds with tears: mine shall be spent,
|
|
68 |
O, find him! give this ring to my true knight,
|
|
69 |
Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day:
|
|
70 |
Yon light is not day-light, I know it, I:
|
|
71 |
It is, it is: hie hence, be gone, away!
|
|
72 |
Nurse? |
|
73 |
Then, window, let day in, and let life out. |
|
74 |
Art thou gone so? love, lord, ay, husband, friend!
|
|
75 |
O think'st thou we shall ever meet again? |
|
76 |
O God, I have an ill-divining soul!
|
|
77 |
O fortune, fortune! all men call thee fickle:
|
|
78 |
Who is't that calls? is it my lady mother?
|
|
79 |
Madam, I am not well. |
|
80 |
Yet let me weep for such a feeling loss. |
|
81 |
Feeling so the loss,
|
|
82 |
What villain madam? |
|
83 |
[Aside] Villain and he be many miles asunder.—
|
|
84 |
Ay, madam, from the reach of these my hands:
|
|
85 |
Indeed, I never shall be satisfied
|
|
86 |
And joy comes well in such a needy time:
|
|
87 |
Madam, in happy time, what day is that? |
|
88 |
Now, by Saint Peter's Church and Peter too,
|
|
89 |
Not proud, you have; but thankful, that you have:
|
|
90 |
Good father, I beseech you on my knees,
|
|
91 |
Is there no pity sitting in the clouds,
|
|
92 |
O God!—O nurse, how shall this be prevented?
|
|
93 |
Speakest thou from thy heart? |
|
94 |
Amen! |
|
95 |
Well, thou hast comforted me marvellous much.
|
|
96 |
Ancient damnation! O most wicked fiend!
|
|
97 |
That may be, sir, when I may be a wife. |
|
98 |
What must be shall be. |
|
99 |
To answer that, I should confess to you. |
|
100 |
I will confess to you that I love him. |
|
101 |
If I do so, it will be of more price,
|
|
102 |
The tears have got small victory by that;
|
|
103 |
That is no slander, sir, which is a truth;
|
|
104 |
It may be so, for it is not mine own.
|
|
105 |
O shut the door! and when thou hast done so,
|
|
106 |
Tell me not, friar, that thou hear'st of this,
|
|
107 |
O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris,
|
|
108 |
Give me, give me! O, tell not me of fear! |
|
109 |
Love give me strength! and strength shall help afford.
|
|
110 |
Where I have learn'd me to repent the sin
|
|
111 |
I met the youthful lord at Laurence' cell;
|
|
112 |
Nurse, will you go with me into my closet,
|
|
113 |
Ay, those attires are best: but, gentle nurse,
|
|
114 |
No, madam; we have cull'd such necessaries
|
|
115 |
Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again.
|
|
116 |
O comfortable friar! where is my lord?
|
|
117 |
Go, get thee hence, for I will not away.
|
|
118 |
Yea, noise? then I'll be brief. O happy dagger!
