⑤ 罗密欧与朱丽叶的经典对白
1、Juliet：Oh,Romeo,Romeo,where for art thou,Romeo？Deny thy father and refuse thy name,or if thou wilt not,but he sworn my love,and I'll no longer be a Capulet.'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.What's in a name？That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.So Romeo would.
Romeo,cast off thy name,and for that name,which is part of you,take all of me.Look you but sweet and I am prrof against their enmity.
朱丽叶：罗密欧啊，罗密欧，为什么你是罗密欧？否认你的父亲，抛弃你的姓名吧，也许你不愿意这样做，只要你宣誓做我的爱人，我愿意不再姓凯普莱特了。只有你的姓氏才是我的敌人，即使你不姓蒙太古，仍然是这样的你，这跟名字又有什么关系？
给玫瑰换个名字，它还是照样芳香，所以罗密欧也一样。罗密欧，抛弃你的名字吧，我愿将我的身心，补偿你这身外的空名。
2、Romeo：I take you at your word.Call me your love,and I'll be new baptized hence forth.I never will be Romeo.
罗密欧：我相信你说的话。给我你的爱，我将接受重新洗礼，我将不再是罗密欧。
3、Romeo：With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls,For stony limits cannot hold love out,And what love can do, that dares love attempt.Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.To see you look severe more frightens me than 20 of their swords.
罗密欧：因为有了爱的翅膀，我才能够翻过这些墙，因为这些石头无法把爱挡在门外，爱能做什么，爱情需要勇气尝试。因此，你的家人都无法阻挡我。看看，你看我的样子比他们二十柄剑还要让我害怕，只要我看到你温柔含有爱意的眼光，他们就无法伤害我的身体。
4、Juliet,why are you still so fair？Death that has sucked the honey of your breath has had no power as yet to spoil your beauty.Shall I believe he has a plan in this？That insubstantial death is amorous,keeping you perfect for his paramour？
For fear of that,I will stay with thee.And never from this place of dim night depart again.Eyes...look you last.Arms...take your last embrace.And lips...the doors of breath,be forever sealed with a righteous kiss.
罗密欧：朱丽叶，为什么你仍然如此美丽？死神虽然榨干了你甜美的气息，却无法夺走你的美丽。我相信这是他的一个阴谋，死神也爱慕你，是不是带你去做他的情妇？
我害怕你那样，所以我要和你在一起，从这个宫殿昏暗的夜晚开始再也不会分开。最后一次看你，给你最后的拥抱，嘴唇，气息的大门，用义愤的吻永远封存。
5、Romeo: juliet, With this round of bringing a moon, it's silver cover these fruit tree's top, i promiss.
罗密欧：朱丽叶， 凭着这一轮皎洁的月亮，它的银光涂染着这些果树的梢端，我发誓。

⑦ 求罗密欧与朱丽叶的经典台词
轻声！那边窗子里亮起来的是什么光？那就是东方，朱丽叶就是太阳！起来吧，美丽的太阳！那是我的意中人；啊！那是我的爱；唉，但愿她知道我在爱着她！她欲言又止，可是她的眼睛已经道出了她的心事。待我去回答她吧；不，我不要太卤莽，她不是对我说话。天上两颗最灿烂的星，因为有事出去，请求她的眼睛替代它们在空中闪耀。要是她的眼睛变成了天上的星，天上的星变成了她的眼睛，那便怎样呢？她脸上的光辉会掩盖了星星的明亮，正像灯光在朝阳下黯然失色一样；在天上的她的眼睛，会在太空中大放光明，使鸟儿误认为黑夜已经过去而唱出它们的歌声。瞧！她用纤手托住了脸，那姿态是多么美妙！啊，但愿我是那一只手上的手套，好让我亲一亲她脸上的香泽！
⑧ 罗密欧与朱丽叶经典语句
好多天的早上曾经有人在那边看见过他，用眼泪洒为清晨的露水，用长叹嘘成天空的云雾；可是一等到鼓舞众生的太阳在东方的天边开始揭起黎明女神床上灰黑色的帐幕的时候，我那怀着一颗沉重的心的儿子，就逃避了光明，溜回到家里；一个人关起了门躲正在房间里，闭紧了窗子，把大好的阳光锁在外面，为他自己造成了一个人工的黑夜。
啊，吵吵闹闹的相爱，亲亲热热的怨恨！啊， 无中生有的一切！啊，沉重的轻浮，严肃的狂妄，整齐的混乱，铅铸的羽毛，光明的烟雾，寒冷的火焰，憔悴的健康，永远睡醒的睡眠，否定的存在！我感觉到爱情正是这么一种东西，可是我并不喜欢这种爱情。
爱情是叹息吹起的一阵烟；恋人的眼中有它净化了的火星；恋人的眼泪是它激起的波涛。
她是精灵的稳婆；她的手指只有郡吏手指上的一颗玛瑙那么大；几匹蚂蚁大小的细马替她拖着车子，越过酣睡的人民的鼻梁，她的车辐在蜘蛛的长脚做成的；车篷是蚱蜢的翅膀；挽索是小蜘蛛丝，劲带如水 的月光；马鞭是蟋蟀的骨头；绳索是天际的游丝。替她架车的是一个小小的蚊虫，他的大小还 不如一个贪懒丫头的指尖挑出来的懒虫的一半。她的车子是野蚕用一个榛子的空壳替她造成的，他们从古以来，就是精灵门的车匠。
你要是真的爱我，就请你诚意告诉我；你要是嫌我太容易降心相从，我也会堆起怒容，装出倔强的神气，拒绝你的好意，好让你向我婉转求情，否则我是无论如何不会拒绝你的。
不要指着月亮起誓，它是变化无常的，每个月都有盈亏圆缺；你要是指着它起誓，也许你的爱情也会像它一样无常。
可是我就好比一个淘气的女孩子，像放松一个囚犯似的让她心爱的鸟儿暂时跳出她的掌心，又用一根丝线把它拉了回来，爱的私心使她不愿意给它自由。
为了替无味的爱情添加一点辛酸的味道，曾经浪费掉多少的咸水。
恋爱的使者应当是思想，因为它比驱散山坡上的阴影的太阳光还要快十倍；所以维纳斯的云车是用白鸽驾驶的，所以凌风而飞的丘匹德生着翅膀。
充实的思想不在于言语的富丽；只有乞儿才能够计算他的家私。
让他们用眼泪洗涤他的伤口，我的眼泪是要留着为罗密欧的放逐而哀哭的。
这是酷刑，不是恩典。朱丽叶所在的地方就是天堂；这儿的每一只猫、每一只狗、每一只小小的老鼠，都生活在天堂里，都可以瞻仰到她的容颜，可是罗密欧却看不见她。污秽的苍蝇都可以接触亲爱的朱丽叶的皎洁的玉手，从她的嘴唇上偷取天堂中的幸福，那两片嘴唇是这样的纯洁贞淑，永远含着娇羞，好像觉得它们自身的相吻也是一种罪恶；苍蝇可以这样做，我却必须远走高飞，它们是自由人，我却是一个放逐的流徙。
天已经亮了，天已经亮了；快走吧，快走吧！那唱得这样刺耳、嘶着粗涩的噪声和讨厌的锐音的，正是天际的云雀。有人说云雀会发出千变万化的甜蜜的歌声，这句话一点不对，因为它只使我们彼此分离；有人说云雀曾和丑恶的蟾蜍交换眼睛，啊！我但愿他们交换了声音，因为那声音使我离开你的怀抱，用催醒的晨歌催促你的登程！现在你快走吧；天越来越亮了。
太阳西下的时候，天空落下了蒙蒙的细雾；可是我的侄儿死了，却有倾盆大雨为他下葬。怎么！装起喷水管来了吗，孩子？雨到现在还没有停吗？你这小小的身体里面也有船，也有海，也有风；因为你的眼睛就是海，永远有泪潮在那儿涨退；你的身体，是一艘船，在这泪还上面航行；你的叹息是还上的狂风；你是身体经不起风浪的吹打，回在汹涌的风浪中覆没的。

罗密欧 ：轻声！那边窗子里亮起来的是什么光？那就是东方，朱丽叶就是太阳！起来吧，美丽的太阳！那是我的意中人；啊！那是我的爱；唉，但愿她知道我在爱着她！她欲言又止，可是她的眼睛已经道出了她的心事。待我去回答她吧；不，我不要太卤莽，她不是对我说话。天上两颗最灿烂的星，因为有事他去，请求她的眼睛替代它们在空中闪耀。要是她的眼睛变成了天上的星，天上的星变成了她的眼睛，那便怎样呢？她脸上的光辉会掩盖了星星的明亮，正像灯光在朝阳下黯然失色一样；在天上的她的眼睛，会在太空中大放光明，使鸟儿误认为黑夜已经过去而唱出它们的歌声。瞧！她用纤手托住了脸，那姿态是多么美妙！啊，但愿我是那一只手上的手套，好让我亲一亲她脸上的香泽！
朱丽叶： 唉！
罗密欧 ：她说话了。 啊！再说下去吧，光明的天使！因为我在这夜色之中仰视着你，就像一个尘世的凡人，张大了出神的眼睛，瞻望着一个生着翅膀的天使，驾着白云缓缓地驰过了天空一样。
朱丽叶：只有你的名字才是我的仇敌； 你即使不姓蒙太古，仍然是这样的一个 你。姓不姓蒙太古又有什么关系呢？它又不是手，又不是脚，又不是手臂，又不是 脸，又不是身体上任何其他的部分。啊！换一个姓名吧！姓名本来是没有意义的； 我们叫做玫瑰的这一种花，要是换了个名字，它的香味还是同样的芬芳；罗密欧要 是换了别的名字，他的可爱的完美也决不会有丝毫改变。罗密欧，抛弃了你的名字 吧；我愿意把我整个的心灵，赔偿你这一个身外的空名。
罗密欧：那么我就听你的话， 你只要叫我***，我就重新受洗，重新命名；从今以后，永远不再叫罗密欧了。
朱丽叶：我的耳朵里还没有灌进从你嘴里吐出来的一百个字， 可是我认识你的声音；你不是罗密欧，蒙太古家里的人吗？
罗密欧：不是，美人，要是你不喜欢这两个名字。
朱丽叶：告诉我， 你怎么会到这儿来，为什么到这儿来？花园的墙这么高，是不容易爬上来的；要是我家里的人瞧见你在这儿，他们一定不让你活命。
罗密欧：我借着爱的轻翼飞过园墙， 因为砖石的墙垣是不能把爱情阻隔的；爱情的力量所能够做到的事，它都会冒险尝试，所以我不怕你家里人的干涉。
朱丽叶：要是他们瞧见了你，一定会把你杀死的。
罗密欧：唉！你的眼睛比他们二十柄刀剑还厉害；只要你用温柔的眼光看着我，他们就不能伤害我的身体。
朱丽叶：我怎么也不愿让他们瞧见你在这儿。
罗密欧：朦胧的夜色可以替我遮过他们的眼睛。 只要你爱我，就让他们瞧见我吧；与其因为得不到你的爱情而在这世上捱命，还不如在仇人的刀剑下丧生。
朱丽叶：谁叫你找到这儿来的？
罗密欧：爱情怂恿我探听出这一个地方； 他替我出主意，我借给他眼睛。我不会操舟驾舵，可是倘使你在辽远辽远的海滨，我也会冒着风波寻访你这颗珍宝。
朱丽叶：幸亏黑夜替我罩上了一重面幕， 否则为了我刚才被你听去的话，你一定可以看见我脸上羞愧的红晕。我真想遵守礼法，否认已经说过的言语，可是这些虚文俗礼，现在只好一切置之不顾了！你爱我吗？我知道你一定会说“是的”；我也一定会相信你的话；可是也许你起的誓只是一个谎，人家说，对于恋人们的寒盟背信，天神是一笑置之的。温柔的罗密欧啊！你要是真的爱我，就请你诚意告诉我；你要是嫌我太容易降心相从，我也会堆起怒容，装出倔强的神气，拒绝你的好意， 好让你向我婉转求情，否则我是无论如何不会拒绝你的。俊秀的蒙太古啊，我真的太痴心了，所以也许你会觉得我的举动有点轻浮；可是相信我，朋友，总有一天你会知道我的忠心远胜过那些善于矜持作态的人。我必须承认，倘不是你乘我不备的时候偷听去了我的真情的表白，我一定会更加矜持一点的；所以原谅我吧，是黑夜泄漏了我心底的秘密，不要把我的允诺看作无耻的轻狂。
罗密欧：姑娘， 凭着这一轮皎洁的月亮，它的银光涂染着这些果树的梢端，我发誓——
朱丽叶：啊！ 不要指着月亮起誓，它是变化无常的，每个月都有盈亏圆缺；你要是指着它起誓，也许你的爱情也会像它一样无常。
罗密欧：那么我指着什么起誓呢？
朱丽叶：不用起誓吧； 或者要是你愿意的话，就凭着你优美的自身起誓，那是我所崇拜的偶像，我一定会相信你的。
罗密欧：要是我的出自深心的爱情——
朱丽叶：好，别起誓啦。我虽然喜欢你，却不喜欢今天晚上的密约；它太仓卒太轻率、太出人意外了，正像一闪电光，等不及人家开一声口，已经消隐了下去。好人，再会吧！这一朵爱的蓓蕾，靠着夏天的暖风的吹拂，也许会在我们下次相见的时候，开出鲜艳的花来。晚安，晚安！但愿恬静的安息同样降临到你我两人的心头！
罗密欧：啊！你就这样离我而去，不给我一点满足吗？
朱丽叶：你今夜还要什么满足呢？
罗密欧：你还没有把你的爱情的忠实的盟誓跟我交换。
朱丽叶：在你没有要求以前， 我已经把我的爱给了你了；可是我倒愿意重新给你。
罗密欧：你要把它收回去吗？为什么呢，爱人？
朱丽叶：为了表示我的慷慨， 我要把它重新给你。可是我只愿意要我已有的东西：我的慷慨像海一样浩渺，我的爱情也像海一样深沉；我给你的越多，我自己也越是富有，因为这两者都是没有穷尽的。（乳媪在内呼唤）我听见里面有人在叫；亲爱的，再会吧！——就来了，好奶妈！——亲爱的蒙太古，愿你不要负心。再等一会儿，我就会来的。（自上方下。）
罗密欧：幸福的， 幸福的夜啊！我怕我只是在晚上做了一个梦，这样美满的事不会是真实的。
朱丽叶：亲爱的罗密欧， 再说三句话，我们真的要再会了。要是你的爱情的确是光明正大，你的目的是在于婚姻，那么明天我会叫一个人到你的地方来，请你叫他带一个信给我，告诉我你愿意在什么地方、什么时候举行婚礼；我就会把我的整个命运交托给你，把你当作我的主人，跟随你到天涯海角。
乳媪（在内）小姐！
朱丽叶 ：就来。——可是你要是没有诚意，那么我请求你——
乳媪（在内）小姐！
朱丽叶：等一等， 我来了。——停止你的求爱，让我一个人独自伤心吧。明天我就叫人来看你。
罗密欧：凭着我的灵魂——
朱丽叶：一千次的晚安！（自上方下。）
罗密欧：晚上没有你的光，我只有一千次的心伤！恋爱的人去赴他情人的约会，像一个放学归来的儿童；可是当他和情人分别的时候，却像上学去一般满脸懊丧。 （退后。）
朱丽叶自上方重上。
朱丽叶：嘘！罗密欧！嘘！唉！我希望我会发出呼鹰的声音，招这只鹰儿回来。我不能高声说话，否则我要让我的喊声传进厄科（注：希腊神话中的回声女妖）的洞穴，让她的无形的喉咙因为反复叫喊着我的罗密欧的名字而变成嘶哑。
罗密欧：那是我的灵魂在叫喊着我的名字。 恋人的声音在晚间多么清婉，听上去就像最柔和的音乐！
朱丽叶：罗密欧！
罗密欧：我的爱！
朱丽叶 ：明天我应该在什么时候叫人来看你？
罗密欧： 就在九点钟吧。
朱丽叶： 我一定不失信； 挨到那个时候，该有二十年那么长久！我记不起为什么要叫你回来了。
罗密欧： 让我站在这儿，等你记起了告诉我。
朱丽叶： 你这样站在我的面前， 我一心想着多么爱跟你在一块儿，一定永远记不起来了。
罗密欧 ：那么我就永远等在这儿， 让你永远记不起来，忘记除了这里以外还有什么家。
朱丽叶： 天快要亮了； 我希望你快去；可是我就好比一个淘气的女孩子，像放松一个囚犯似的让她心爱的鸟儿暂时跳出她的掌心，又用一根丝线把它拉了回来，爱的私心使她不愿意给它自由。
罗密欧： 我但愿我是你的鸟儿。
朱丽叶： 好人， 我也但愿这样；可是我怕你会死在我的过分的爱抚里。晚安！
晚安！离别是这样甜蜜的凄清，我真要向你道晚安直到天明！

⑩ 求《罗密欧与朱丽叶》里罗密欧对朱丽叶表白的那段经典对白英文原版
这是我在1976年版的罗密欧与朱丽叶的电影里照抄的。是在化妆舞会上的对白。我试着也把你说的那段听下来，但是里面很多的古英文不是很容易听，所以实在是搞不出来...这个凑活了吧，也挺经典的。
R: IF I PROFANE WITH MY UNWORTHIEST HAND THIS HOLY SHRINE THE GENTLE SIN IS THIS.
MY LIPS, TWO BLUSHING PILGRIMS, READY STAND TO SMOOTH THAT ROUGH TOUCH WITH A TENDER
KISS.
J:GOOD PILGRIM, YOU DO WRONG YOUR HAND TOO MUCH,WHICH MANNERLY DEVOTION SHOWS IN THIS
FOR SAINTS HAVE HANDS THAT PILGRIMS' HANDS DO TOUCH,AND PALM TO PALM IS HOLY PALMERS'KISS
R:HAVE NOT SAINTS LIPS, AND HOLY PALMERS TOO?
J:AY, PILGRIM, LIPS THAT THEY MUST USE IN PRAYER
R:WELL, THEN , DEAR SAINT, LET LIPS DO WHAT HANDS DO.THEY PRAY, GRANT THOU, LEST FAITH
TURN TO DESPAIR.
J:SAINTS DO NOT MOVE, THOUGH GRANT FOR PRAYERS' SAKE
R:THEN MOVE NOT, WHILE MY PRAYER'S EFFECT I TAKE. -- THUS FROM MY LIPS BY THINE, MY SIN IS
PURGED.
J:THEN HAVE MY LIPS THE SIN THAT THEY HAVE TOOK?
R:SIN FROM MY LIPS? O TRESPASS SWEETLY URGED! GIVE ME MY SIN AGAIN.
J:YOU KISS BY THE BOOK.
我昨天google查到的，是你要的，下面还有古文的注解：
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
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That (1) thou her maid (2) art far more fair than she.
Be not her maid, since she is envious.
Her vestal livery (3) is but sick and green, (4)
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off. (5)
It is my lady! O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks, yet she says nothing.
What of that? Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold; 'tis not to me she speaks.
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return. (6)
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!
JULIET :
Ay me!
ROMEO:
She speaks.
O, speak again, bright angel, for thou art
As glorious to this night, being o'er my head,
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wond'ring eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy puffing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air.
JULIET:
O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore (7) art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
ROMEO [Aside.]:
Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
JULIET:
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face. O, be some other name
Belonging to a man.
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes (8)
Without that title. Romeo, doff (9) thy name;
And for thy name, (10) which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.
ROMEO:
I take thee at thy word.
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
JULIET:
What man art thou, that, thus bescreened in night,
So stumblest on my counsel? (11)
ROMEO:
By a name
I know not how to tell thee who I am.
My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself
Because it is an enemy to thee.
Had I it written, I would tear the word.
JULIET:
My ears have yet not drunk a hundred words
Of thy tongue's uttering, yet I know the sound.
Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?
ROMEO:
Neither, fair maid, if either thee dislike. (12)
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.
ROMEO:
With love's light wings did I o'erperch (13) these walls;
For stony limits cannot hold love out,
And what love can do, that dares love attempt.
Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop (14) to me.
JULIET:
If they do see thee, they will murder thee.
ROMEO:
Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye
Than twenty of their swords! Look thou but sweet,
And I am proof against their enmity.
JULIET:
I would not for the world they saw thee here.
ROMEO:
I have night's cloak to hide me from their eyes;
And but (15) thou love me, let them find me here.
My life were better ended by their hate
Than death prorogued, wanting (16) of thy love.
JULIET:
By whose direction found'st thou out this place?
ROMEO:
By Love, that first did prompt me to inquire.
He lent me council, and I lent him eyes.
I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far
As that vast shore washed with the farthest sea,
I should adventure for such merchandise.
JULIET:
Thou knowest the mask of night is on my face;
Else (17) would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek
For that which thou hast heard me speak tonight.
Fain (18) would I dwell on form (19)--fain, fain deny
What I have spoke; but farewell compliment!
Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say "Ay;"
And I will take thy word. Yet, if thou swear'st,
Thou mayst prove false. At lovers' perjuries,
They say Jove laughs. (20) O gentle Romeo,
If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully.
Or if thou thinkest I am too quickly won,
I'll frown and be perverse and say thee nay,
So thou wilt woo, but else, not for the world. (21)
In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond, (22)
And therefore thou mayst think my havior (23) light;
But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true
Than those that have more cunning to be strange. (24)
I should have been more strange, I must confess,
But (25) that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware, (26)
My true love passion. Therefore pardon me,
And not impute this yielding to light love,
Which the dark night hath so discovered. (27)
ROMEO:
Lady, by yonder blessed moon I vow,
That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops--
JULIET:
O, swear not by the moon, th' inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circle orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
ROMEO:
What shall I swear by?
JULIET:
Do not swear at all;
Or if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,
Which is the god of my idolatry,
And I'll believe thee.
ROMEO:
If my heart's dear love--
JULIET:
Well, do not swear. Although I joy in thee,
I have no joy of this contract tonight.
It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden;
Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be
Ere one can say it lightens. Sweet, good night!
This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath,
May prove a beauteous flow'r when next we meet.
Good night, good night! As sweet repose and rest
Come to thy heart as that within my breast!
ROMEO:
O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?
JULIET:
What satisfaction canst thou have to-night?
ROMEO:
The exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine.
JULIET:
I gave thee mine before thou didst request it:
and yet I would it were to give again.
ROMEO:
Would'st thou withdraw it? for what purpose, love?
JULIET:
But to be frank (28) and give it thee again.
And yet I wish but for the thing I have.
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
I hear some noise within. Dear love, adieu!
[NURSE calls within.]
Anon, (29) good nurse! Sweet Montague, be true.
Stay but a little, I will come again. [Exit.]
ROMEO:
O blessed, blessed night! I am afeard,
Being in night, all this is but a dream,
Too flattering-sweet to be substantial.
[Enter JULIET again.]
JULIET:
Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed.
If that thy bent of love be honorable,
Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow,
By one that I'll procure to come to thee,
Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite;
And all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay
And follow thee my lord throughout the world.
[NURSE within.]
Madam!
JULIET:
I come anon.--But if thou meanest not well,
I do beseech thee--
[NURSE within.]
Madam!
JULIET:
By and by I come.--
To cease thy strife and leave me to my grief
Tomorrow will I send.
ROMEO:
So thrive my soul--
JULIET:
A thousand times good night!
ROMEO:
A thousand times the worse, to want thy light!
Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books
But love from love, toward school with heavy looks
[Enter JULIET again]
JULIET:
Hist! Romeo, hist! O for a falc'ner's voice
To lure this tassel gentle back again! (30)
Bondage is hoarse and may not speak aloud,
Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies
And make her airy tongue more hoarse than
With repetition of "My Romeo!"
ROMEO:
How silver-sweet sound lovers' tongues by night,
Like softest music to attending (31) ears!
JULIET:
Romeo!
ROMEO:
My sweet?
JULIET:
What o'clock tomorrow
Shall I send to thee?
ROMEO:
By the hour of nine.
JULIET:
I will not fail. 'Tis twenty years till then.
I have forgot why I did call thee back.
ROMEO:
Let me stand here till thou remember it.
JULIET:
I shall forget, to have thee still stand there,
Rememb'ring how I love thy company.
ROMEO:
And I'll still stay, to have thee still forget,
Forgetting any other home but this.
JULIET:
'Tis almost morning. I would have thee gone--
And yet no farther than a wanton's bird,
That lets it hop a little from his hand,
Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves, (32)
And with a silken thread plucks it back again
So loving-jealous of his liberty.
ROMEO:
I would I were thy bird.
JULIET:
Sweet, so would I.
Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow
That I shall say good night till it be morrow. [Exit.]
ROMEO
Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast!
Would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest! (33)
