Human activity Two SCENE II Capulet's orchard.
[Enter ROMEO]
ROMEO He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
[JULIET appears to a higher place at a window]
But, soft! what low-cal through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sunday, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more off-white than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is just sick and greenish
And none but fools practice wear it; bandage it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love! 10
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks nonetheless she says nil: what of that?
Her eye discourses; I volition answer it.
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
2 of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, exercise entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were at that place, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
Every bit daylight doth a lamp; her optics in heaven 20
Would through the blusterous region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See, how she leans her cheek upon her manus!
O, that I were a glove upon that mitt,
That I might touch that cheek!
JULIET Ay me!
ROMEO She speaks:
O, speak again, bright affections! for thousand art
Equally glorious to this night, existence o'er my head
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him xxx
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air.
JULIET O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if 1000 wilt non, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer exist a Capulet.
ROMEO [Bated] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
JULIET 'Tis only thy name that is my enemy;
One thousand art thyself, though non a Montague.
What's Montague? information technology is nor hand, nor pes, 40
Nor arm, nor confront, nor any other function
Belonging to a human. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which nosotros phone call a rose
Past any other name would smell equally sugariness;
And then Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy proper noun,
And for that proper noun which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
ROMEO I accept thee at thy discussion:
Phone call me but love, and I'll be new baptized; l
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
JULIET What human being art thou that thus bescreen'd in night
So stumblest on my counsel?
ROMEO Past a proper noun
I know not how to tell thee who I am:
My proper name, dear saint, is hateful to myself,
Because information technology is an enemy to thee;
Had I it written, I would tear the discussion.
JULIET My ears have not all the same drunk a hundred words
Of that tongue's utterance, however I know the sound:
Art k not Romeo and a Montague? 60
ROMEO Neither, off-white saint, if either thee dislike.
JULIET How camest one thousand hither, tell me, and wherefore?
The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,
And the place death, considering who yard fine art,
If any of my kinsmen notice thee here.
ROMEO With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls;
For stony limits cannot hold love out,
And what love can do that dares honey endeavour;
Therefore thy kinsmen are no let to me.
JULIET If they do see thee, they will murder thee. 70
ROMEO Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye
Than 20 of their swords: look m but sweet,
And I am proof against their enmity.
JULIET I would non for the earth they saw thee here.
ROMEO I have dark'due south cloak to hide me from their sight;
And merely thou love me, allow them find me here:
My life were better ended by their hate,
Than expiry prorogued, wanting of thy honey.
JULIET By whose direction found'st thou out this identify?
ROMEO Past love, who kickoff did prompt me to ask; 80
He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes.
I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far
As that vast shore launder'd with the farthest sea,
I would adventure for such merchandise.
JULIET Chiliad know'st the mask of dark is on my confront,
Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek
For that which thousand hast heard me speak to-night
Fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny
What I have spoke: only farewell compliment!
Dost thou dearest me? I know yard wilt say 'Ay,' 90
And I will accept thy word: still if thou swear'st,
Thou mayst show false; at lovers' perjuries
So say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,
If chiliad dost honey, pronounce it faithfully:
Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won,
I'll frown and exist perverse an say thee nay,
So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world.
In truth, fair Montague, I am likewise fond,
And therefore thou mayst think my 'havior light:
But trust me, admirer, I'll prove more true 100
Than those that have more cunning to be strange.
I should take been more foreign, I must confess,
But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware,
My truthful love'south passion: therefore pardon me,
And not impute this yielding to light love,
Which the night night hath so discovered.
ROMEO Lady, by yonder blessed moon I swear
That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops--
JULIET O, swear non by the moon, the inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb, 110
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
ROMEO What shall I swear by?
JULIET Practise non swear at all;
Or, if one thousand wilt, swear by thy gracious cocky,
Which is the god of my idolatry,
And I'll believe thee.
ROMEO If my middle's honey love--
JULIET Well, do not swear: although I joy in thee,
I accept no joy of this contract to-night:
It is too rash, also unadvised, too sudden;
Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be
Ere ane tin can say 'It lightens.' Sugariness, good night! 120
This bud of love, by summer'south ripening breath,
May evidence a beauteous flower when next we meet.
Good nighttime, skillful night! as sweet quiet and rest
Come to thy heart equally that within my chest!
ROMEO O, wilt k leave me so unsatisfied?
JULIET What satisfaction canst 1000 have to-night?
ROMEO The substitution of thy honey's faithful vow for mine.
JULIET I gave thee mine earlier thou didst request it:
And yet I would it were to give once more. 129
ROMEO Wouldst thou withdraw it? for what purpose, beloved?
JULIET Just to be frank, and give it thee once more.
And yet I wish merely for the thing I have:
My bounty is as boundless every bit the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
[Nurse calls inside]
I hear some noise within; love love, cheerio!
Anon, good nurse! Sweet Montague, be truthful.
Stay but a little, I will come again.
[Exit, higher up]
ROMEO O blessed, blessed night! I am afeard.
Being in night, all this is but a dream, 140
Too flattering-sweetness to be substantial.
[Re-enter JULIET, above]
JULIET Three words, love Romeo, and proficient dark indeed.
If that thy bent of love be honourable,
Thy purpose marriage, send me word to-morrow,
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 earth.
Nurse [Within] Madam!
JULIET I come, anon.-- Simply if thou mean'st not well, 150
I do beseech thee--
Nurse [Inside] Madam!
JULIET By and by, I come:--
To cease thy suit, and leave me to my grief:
To-morrow volition I transport.
ROMEO So thrive my soul--
JULIET A grand times proficient nighttime!
[Exit, above]
ROMEO A thousand times the worse, to want thy light.
Beloved goes toward love, as schoolboys from
their books,
But love from love, toward schoolhouse with heavy looks.
[Retiring]
[Re-enter JULIET, higher up]
JULIET Hist! Romeo, hist! O, for a falconer's phonation,
To lure this tassel-gentle back again! 160
Chains is hoarse, and may not speak aloud;
Else would I tear the cavern where Echo lies,
And make her airy tongue more hoarse than mine,
With repetition of my Romeo'south proper name.
ROMEO It is my soul that calls upon my name:
How silvery-sweet sound lovers' tongues by night,
Like softest music to attending ears!
JULIET Romeo!
ROMEO My honey?
JULIET At what o'clock to-morrow
Shall I send to thee?
ROMEO At the hr of nine.
JULIET I will not neglect: 'tis xx years till then. 170
I take forgot why I did telephone call thee back.
ROMEO Permit me stand hither till k recall it.
JULIET I shall forget, to take thee all the same stand at that place,
Remembering how I love thy company.
ROMEO And I'll withal stay, to take thee still forget,
Forgetting any other home simply this.
JULIET 'Tis almost morning; I would have thee gone:
And yet no further than a wanton'south bird;
Who lets it hop a little from her hand,
Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves, 180
And with a silk thread plucks information technology back once more,
Then loving-jealous of his liberty.
ROMEO I would I were thy bird.
JULIET Sweet, so would I:
However I should kill thee with much cherishing.
Good nighttime, good night! departing is such
sweetness sorrow,
That I shall say practiced night till it be morrow.
[Exit above]
ROMEO Sleep dwell upon thine optics, peace in thy breast!
Would I were slumber and peace, and then sweet to residue!
Hence will I to my ghostly father'southward prison cell,
His assistance to crave, and my dear hap to tell.
[Exit]

From Romeo and Juliet. Ed. One thousand. Deighton. London: Macmillan.

__________

Prologue

1. He jests ... wound, Mercutio, who never felt the wound of love, may well jest at the scars which Cupid'south arrows have left in my heart. That this is not a general, but a particular, remark is, I think, proved by the answering rhyme, as Staunton has noticed. And as neither the folios nor the quartos make any division of scene, such sectionalisation, originally due to Rowe, seems conspicuously wrong.

2. soft! he bids himself 'hush,' cautions himself to talk in a lower voice.

4. envious, jealous.

seven. Exist not her maid, no longer serve her, no longer go along a vow to live unmarried; equally Diana'south votaries pledged themselves to exercise.

8. Her vestal ... green, the life of guiltlessness to which she binds her priestess is ane of sickly, jaundiced, hue. In sick and light-green at that place is probably, every bit Delius suggests, an allusion to the "dark-green-sickness" of which Shakespeare oftentimes speaks, and which in iii. five. 157, beneath, Capulet applies every bit an epithet to Juliet in his acrimony at her refusal of Paris, "Out, you green-sickness feces! out, y'all baggage! Y'all tallow-face," — an disquiet of languishing girls characterized past a pale complexion. The reading of the showtime quarto is pale for sick, and this is preferred by many editors. Collier would change sick into white, seeing in the line an innuendo to the white and light-green livery formerly worn past the Court fools; but it seems unlikely that Shakespeare would apply the word fools in this literal sense when referring to Juliet, while, as Grant White points out, if such an allusion were intended, it would be obtained from the reading of the beginning quarto, pale, without the violent modify to white; vestal livery. Vesta was the Roman goddess of the hearth, respective with the Greek Hestia, and her priestesses were vowed to a life of chastity and celibacy; cp. Per. three. 4. 10, "A vestal livery will I take me to, And never more than have joy."

12. what of that? but that matters little.

13. discourses, is eloquent in its mere expect.

16. some business, some private affairs of their own which would be hindered by their having to perform their nightly duty of lighting upwardly the sky.

17. in their spheres. According to the Ptolemaic system of astronomy, circular almost the world, which was the center of the system, were nine hollow spheres, consisting of the seven planets, the fixed stars or firmament, and the Primum Mobile; the spheres with the stars and planets in them being whirled round the earth in 20-iv hours past the driving ability, the Primum Mobile.

21. the blusterous region, the upper air; region, was originally a division of the heaven marked out past the Roman augurs. In afterward times the atmosphere was divided into 3 regions, upper, center, and lower. Cp. also Haml. ii. 2. 509.

24, five. O, that ... cheek, cp. Tennyson, The Miller's Daughter, 169-186.

28. winged messenger, angel.

29. white-upturned, turned upward in adoration and so that the pupils are scarcely seen.

thirty. autumn dorsum, stand back in awe, and also in order to get a clearer view.

31. lazy-pacing, slowly drifting. Grant White compares Macb. i. seven. 21-5; lazy-pacing is Pope'due south conjecture for lasie pacing, of the start quarto; the remaining quartos and the folios give lazie, or lazy, puffing.

34. refuse, disown, disclaim; cp. T. C. four. 5. 267, "We have had pelting wars, since you refused The Grecians' cause."

37. speak at this, answer her without allowing her to go further, interrupt her at this bespeak.

39. Chiliad fine art ... Montague. Staunton explains "That is, as she subsequently expresses it, yous would still retain all the perfections which ardorn you, were non called Montague"; and and so substantially Grant White, though Dyce calls such an explanation "unintelligible." Others follow Malone in putting the comma after though, as used in the sense of all the same, with the explanation that Juliet is merely endeavouring to account for Romeo's being amiable and excellent though he is a Montague, to prove which she asserts that he merely bears the proper name, but has none of the qualities of that business firm. Various emendations accept too been proposed, but Staunton's explanation seems to me quite satisfactory.

42. exist some other proper noun, be somebody else in name than Montague. Lettsom objects that Shakespeare could not have written "be some other proper name"; but after the expression "What's Montague?", where "Montague" is used equally though information technology were a thing, there seems no reason why we should non accept "exist some other proper noun."

46. owes, owns; as frequently in Elizabethan literature, the final n of the G. E. owen, to pcssess, being dropped. The mod sense of the word 'to exist in debt,' 'to be obliged,' comes from the sense of possessing another's property, only the word has no etymological connection with to 'ain' = to possess; it being from the A.S. agan, to accept, while the latter is from the A.S. agnian, to appropriate, claim equally one's own, from agn, contracted form of agen, one's own (Skeat, Ety. Dict.).

47. doff, put off; exercise off, every bit don, do on; dup, do up; dout, do out.

48. for thy proper noun, in exchange for your proper name.

53. Then stumblest on my counsel, come up so unexpectedly upon my secret thouglits; cp. Thousand. Due north. D. i. 1. 216, "Emptying our bosoms of their counsel sweet," i.e. confiding to each other our inmost thoughts.

53, iv. By a proper noun... am, if I could let you know who I am without using a proper noun, I would gladly practise so, for it is impossible for me to name myself without lamentable you lot.

55. saint. Delius points out that this discussion recalls their offset meeting when, every bit a pilgrim, Romeo had thus greeted Juliet.

58. boozer, unconsciously acknowledging the ardor with which she had listened to his words.

61. if either thee dislike, if either exist unpleasant to your ears; dislike is really impersonal, equally in Oth. ii. 3. 49, "I'll do't; simply information technology mislike's me."

64. And the place expiry, and to venture here is to risk your life.

66. o'er-perch these walls, fly over these walls and settle here, as a bird settles upon a co-operative later on a flight from another spot; a perch is literally a rod, bar, and so a bender or twig on which a bird settles.

67. stony limits, limits formed of stone, i.east. walls; stony, more usually used as = of the nature of.

69. are no let to me, are no hindrance to me, cannot bar my way and keep me out.

71. Alack, according to Skeat, either a abuse of 'ah! lord,' or, which seems more than probable, from ah! and M. E. lak, loss, failure.

73. proof against, able to endure, hold out against; see notation on i. 1. 216.

76. but thou love me ... here, except, unless, you love me, I am quite willing that they should discover me here and kill me; without your love, life to me is not worth living.

78. Than death ... love, than that my expiry should be delayed if I am to be without your dearest; prorogued, the Lat. prorogare was to propose a farther extension of office, lience to defer, though literally significant only to ask publicly, from pro-, publicly, and rogare, to enquire.

81. counsel, communication.

83. vast shore. "Lat. vastus, empty, waste" (Walker).

84. I would hazard for, I would make my voyage in quest of, however peachy the danger.

88. Fain ... grade, gladly would I, if it were possible, stand up on ceremony with you, treat you with distant formality; Fain, properly an adjective.

89. merely goodbye compliment, "only away with formality and punctilio" (Staunton); I at present cast such things to the winds.

93. laughs, good-humouredly disdains to punish them. Douce compares Marlowe's translation of Ovid's Fine art of Love, i. 633, "For Jove himself sits in the azure skies, And laughs below at lover's perjuries," from which he thinks that Shakespeare borrowed.

94. pronounce it faithfully, assure me of your love without adding an oath to ostend your words.

97. So, provided that.

98. fond, foolishly loving; fond, originally fonned, the past participle of the verb fonnen, to act heedlessly, from the noun fon, a fool.

99. light, full of levity, wanton.

101. more cunning ... strange, more skill in affecting coyness.

104. passion, passionate confession; the word was formerly used of any strong emotion.

106. Which the dark ... discovered, which (love) has been revealed to you by the darkness of the night whose part should exist to conceal; which you have discovered thank you to the darkness of the night.

110. circled, revolving; not, I think, 'round,' as Schmidt explains.

111. likewise, equally.

113. gracious, bonny, finding favour in my eyes; cp. T. A. i. one. 429, "if ever Tamora Were gracious in those princely eyes of thine." This is the reading of the kickoff quarto, the other old copies giving glorious, which Grant White thinks more suitable to the context.

114.of my idolatry, that I worship.

117. I have ... to-night, I feel no joy in at present ratifying with oaths a contract between united states. Like Romeo, i. 4. 106-11, she has a presentiment of some evil befalling their plighted dearest.

118. unadvised, imprudent, formed without sufficient consideration.

121, ii. This bud of love ... see, this new dearest of ours, cherished in our hearts, may aggrandize into full growth past the time we next see, every bit beneath the summer'southward warmth the bud expands into a beauteous blossom. equally that ... chest, "as to that middle within my breast" (Delius).

126. satisfaction, Delius points out the double sense here of payment and comfort.

129. And all the same ... again, and yet I wish I had not given information technology, in social club that I might now again have the joy of giving it.

131. frank, liberal, gratuitous of hand; cp. Lear, iii. 4. xx, "Your former kind father, whose frank heart gave all."

132. the thing I have. sc. her ain infinite dearest.

143. If that ... honourable, if your dear is honourable in its intentions; for that, as a conjunctional affix, see Abb. § 287.

145. procure to come up, arrange to have sent.

146. the rite, sc. of spousal relationship.

152. Past and past, in a minute, directly.

153. suit. Malone quotes from Brooke'south poem, Romeus and Juliet, "and now your Juliet you beseekes To terminate your sute, and suffer her to alive emong her likes."

154. So thrive my soul — may my soul prosper (according every bit I mean well to y'all), the terminal words existence cleaved off by Juliet'due south bye.

156. A thousand ... calorie-free, in respond to Juliet's wish of good-dark he says, nay, non skillful night but bad night, night made a thousand times the worse by the absence of you who are its merely light.

158. toward ... looks, sc. equally schoolboys go toward, etc.

159. Hist! Heed!

159, 60. O, for ... again! would that I had a vocalism that would bring back my gentle Romeo as surely equally the falconer's voice brings ack the tassel-gentle! "The tassel or tiercel (for so it should be spelled) is the male of the gosshawk; so called considering it is a tierce or 3rd less than the female...This species of hawk had the epithet gentle annexed to it, from the ease with which information technology was tamed, and its attachment to man" (Steevens). "It appears," adds Malone, "that certain hawks were considered as appropriated to sure ranks. The tercel-gentle was appropriated to the prince, and thence was chosen by Juliet as an appellation for her beloved Romeo."

161. Bondage ... aloud, one fettered, constrained by fear of beingness overheard, like me, is as much unable to call aloud as one whose voice is stopped by hoarseness of the pharynx.

162. Else ... lies, otherwise past my loud cries I would rend the cave in which Echo dwells; Repeat, an Oread who by Juno was changed into a beingness neither able to speak until somebody had spoken, nor to exist silent when anybody had spoken.

163. And make ... mine, and, by compelling her to repeat my cries, brand her hoarser than myself even. Dyce compares Comus, 208, "And airy tongues that syllable men'southward names On sands and shores and desert wildernesses."

166. silver-sweetness, in allusion to the sweet tone of bells made of argent.

167. attending, circumspect.

173. to have ... there, in lodge to keep you lot continuing at that place.

175. to have ... forget, so that you may proceed to forget.

180. gyves, chains, fetters.

182. So loving-jealous ... freedom, and then fond of it and yet so jealous of its getting its liberty.

186. shall say adept nighttime, shall continue maxim 'good night.'

188. then sweet to rest, having so sweet a resting place.
