What are thou drawn among these heartless hinds?
Turn thee, Benvolio; look upon thy death.
(Tybalt)
Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word
By thee, old Capulet and Montague,
Have thrice disturbed the quiet of our streets...
(Prince Escalus)
...O brawling love, O loving hate,
O anything of nothing first created!
O heavy lightness, serious vanity,
Misshapen 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
(Romeo)
She hath not seen the change of fourteen years;
Let two more summers wither in their pride
Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.
(Lord Capulet)
Read o'ver the volume of young Paris' face,
And find delight writ there with beauty's pen;
...this precious book of love, this unbound lover.
To beautify him only lacks a cover.
(Lady Capulet)
O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
As a rich jewel in an Ethiops' ear...
(Romeo)
Go ask his name- if he be married
My grave is like to be my wedding bed.
(Juliet)
Can I go forward when my heart is here?
Turn back, dull earth, and find thy center out.
(Romeo)
But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon.
(Romeo)
O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name...
(Juliet)
How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?
The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,
And the place death, considering who thou art,
If any of my kinsmen find thee here.
(Juliet)
I am no pilot; yet, were thou as far
As that vast shore washed with the farthest sea,
I should adventure for such merchandise.
(Romeo)
O, swear not by the moon, th' inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circle orb,
Lest thy love prove likewise variable.
(Juliet)
Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.
(Friar Lawrence)
Ay, ay, a scratch, a scratch. Marry 'tis enough.
Where is my page? Go, villain, fetch a surgeon.
(Mercutio)
No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church
door; but 'tis enough, 'twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man.
(Mercutio)
O, I have bought the mansion of a love,
But not possessed it; and though I am sold,
Not yet enjoyed.
(Juliet)
There is no world without Verona's walls,
But purgatory, torture, hell itself.
Hence banished is banished from the world,
And world's exile is death.
(Romeo)
Wilt thou be gone? It is not yet near day,
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear.
Nightly she sings on yond pomegranate tree.
Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.
(Juliet)
It was the lark, the herald of the morn;
No nightingale. Look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder East.
Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountaintops.
I must be gone and live, or stay
(Romeo)
O, God, I have an ill-defining soul!
Methinks I see thee, now thou art so low,
As one dead in the bottom of a tomb.
Either my eyesight fails, or thou lookest pale.
(Juliet)
Romeo is banished; and all the world to nothing
That he dares ne'er come back to challenge you;
Or if he do, it needs be by stealth...
I think it best you married with the County.
(Nurse)
Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt's death,
And therefore have I little talked of love;
For Venus smiles not in a house of tears.
(Paris)
... or bid me go into a new-made grave
And hide with a dead man in his shroud-
Thing that, to hear them told, have made me tremble-
And I will do it without fear or doubt,
To live an unstained wife to my sweet love.
(Juliet)
What if this mixture do not work at all?
Shall I be married then tomorrow morning?
No. no! This shall forbid it. Lie thou there.
(Juliet)
Death lies on her like an untimely frost
Upon the sweetest flower of all the field.
(Lord Capulet)
Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir-
(Lord Capulet)
Such mortal drugs I have; but Mantua's law
Is death to any he that utters them.
(Apothecary)
My poverty but not my will consents.
(Apothecary)
Thou detestable maw, thou womb of death,
Gorged with the dearest morsel of the earth,
Thus I enforce they rotten jaws to open,
And in despite I'll cram thee with more food.
(Romeo)
O I am slain! IF thou be merciful,
Open the tomb, lay me with Juliet.
(Paris)
Death that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.
Thou art not yet conquered. Beauty's ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death's pale flag is not advanced there.
(Romeo)
I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest
Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep.
A greater power than we can contradict
Hath thwarted our intents, Come, come away...
(Friar Lawrence)
Alas, my liege, my wife is dead tonight!
Grief of my son's exile hath stopped her breath.
