It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
As a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!"3. "Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone.
'A bears him like a portly gentleman,
And to say truth, Verona brags of him
To be a virtuous and well governed youth."4. "What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
No arm, nor face, nor any other part
belonging to a man. 0, be some other name!"5. "But come, young waverer, come go with me.
In one respect I'll thy assistant be;
For this alliance may so happy prove
To turn your household's rancor to pure love."6. "Help me into some house, Benvolio,
Or I shall faint. A plague of both your houses!
They have made worms' meat of me. I have it,
And soundly too. Your houses!7. Let Romeo hence in haste,
Else, when he is found, that hour is his last."8. "Come cords, come Nurse, I'll to my wedding bed;
And death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead."9. "An you be mine, I'll give you to my friend;
An you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets
For by my soul, I'll not acknowledge thee."10. "Tomorrow night look that thou lie alone
Let not the nurse lie with thee in thy chamber.
Take thou this vial, being then in bed
And this distilling liquor drink thou off;
When presently through all thy veins shall run
A cold and drowsy humor;"11. "0 woe! 0 woeful, woeful woeful day!
Most lamentable day, most woeful day!
That ever I did yet behold!"12. "Her body sleeps in Capel's monument,
And her immortal part with angels lives.
I saw her laid low in her kindred's vault
And presently took post to tell it you.
0, pardon me for bringing these ill news.13. "Come cordial and not poison, go with me
To Juliet's grave; for there I must use thee."14. "This is that banished haughty Montague
That murd'red my love's cousin - with which grief
It is supposed the fair creature died -
And here is come to do some villanous shame
To the dead bodies. I will apprehend him."15. "What's here? A cup closed in my true love's hand?
Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end.
O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop
To help me after? I will kiss thy lips.
Haply some poison yet doth hang on them..."16. "Alas, my liege, my wife is dead tonight!
Grief of my son's exile hath stopped he breath."17. "I will be brief, for my short date of breath
Is not so long as is a tedious tale
... and if ought in this
miscarriage by my fault, let my old life
Be sacrificed, some hour before his time,
unto the rigor of severest law.18. "See what a scourge is laid upon your hate,
That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love.
and I, for winking at your discords too,
have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punished."

This is my daughter's jointure, for no more
Can I demand.
