O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
and I'll no longer be a Capulet
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
thou art thyself, though not a Montague

What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
belonging to man. O, be some other name!
belonging to man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet
by any other name would smell as sweet
so Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd
so Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd
retain that dear perfection which he owes
retain that dear perfection which he owes
without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
and for that name which is no part of thee
and for that name which is no part of thee
take all myself
