Thou! why, thou wilt quarrel with a man that hath a hair more, or a hair less, in his beard, than thou hast. thou wilt quarrel with a man for cracking nuts, having no other reason but because thou hast hazel eyes. what eye but such an eye would spy out such a quarrel? Thy head is as fun of quarrels as an egg is full of meat, and yet thy head hath been beaten as addle as an egg for quarrelling. thou hast quarrelled with a man for coughing in the street, because he hath wakened thy dog that hath lain asleep in the sun. didst thou not fall out with a tailor for wearing his new doublet before Easter? with another, for tying his new shoes with old riband? and yet thou wilt tutor me from quarrelling!"}

{"person":"Benvolio","dialogue":"Tybalt, here slain, whom Romeo's hand did slay; Romeo that spoke him fair, bade him bethink How nice the quarrel was, and urged withal Your high displeasure. all this uttered With gentle breath, calm look, knees humbly bow'd, Could not take truce with the unruly spleen Of Tybalt deaf to peace, but that he tilts With piercing steel at bold Mercutio's breast, Who all as hot, turns deadly point to point, And, with a martial scorn, with one hand beats Cold death aside, and with the other sends It back to Tybalt, whose dexterity, Retorts it. Romeo he cries aloud, Hold, friends! friends, part! and, swifter than his tongue, His agile arm beats down their fatal points, And twixt them rushes; underneath whose arm An envious thrust from Tybalt hit the life Of stout Mercutio, and then Tybalt fled; But by and by comes back to Romeo, Who had but newly entertain'd revenge, And to t they go like lightning, for, ere I Could draw to part them, was stout Tybalt slain. And, as he fell, did Romeo turn and fly. This is the truth, or let Benvolio die."}

I have an interest in your hate's proceeding, My blood for your rude brawls doth lie a-bleeding; But I'll amerce you with so strong a fine That you shall all repent the loss of mine. I will be deaf to pleading and excuses; Nor tears nor prayers shall purchase out abuses. Therefore use none. let Romeo hence in haste, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Bear hence this body and attend our will. Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, Towards Phoebus lodging. such a wagoner As Phaethon would whip you to the west, And bring in cloudy night immediately. Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night, That runaway's eyes may wink and Romeo Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen. Lovers can see to do their amorous rites By their own beauties; or, if love be blind, It best agrees with night. Come, civil night, Thou sober-suited matron, all in black, And learn me how to lose a winning match, Play'd for a pair of stainless maidenhoods. Hood my unmann'd blood, bating in my cheeks, With thy black mantle; till strange love, grown bold, Think true love acted simple modesty. Come, night; come, Romeo; come, thou day in night; For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night Whiter than new snow on a raven's back. Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow'd night, Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun. O, I have bought the mansion of a love, But not possess'd it, and, though I am sold, Not yet enjoy'd. so tedious is this day As is the night before some festival To an impatient child that hath new robes And may not wear them. O, here comes my nurse, And she brings news; and every tongue that speaks But Romeo's name speaks heavenly eloquence. Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords That Romeo bid thee fetch?"}

{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Ay me! what news? why dost thou wring thy hands?"}
{"person":"Nurse","dialogue":"Ah, well-a-day! he's dead, he's dead, he's dead! We are undone, lady, we are undone! Alack the day! he's gone, he's kill'd, he's dead!"}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Can heaven be so envious?"}
{"person":"Nurse","dialogue":"Romeo can, Though heaven cannot. O Romeo, Romeo! Who ever would have thought it? Romeo!"}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"What devil art thou, that dost torment me thus? This torture should be roar'd in dismal hell. Hath Romeo slain himself? say thou but I, And that bare vowel I shall poison more Than the death-darting eye of cockatrice. I am not I, if there be such an I; Or those eyes shut, that make thee answer I. If he be slain, say I'; or if not, no. Brief sounds determine of my weal or woe."}
{"person":"Nurse","dialogue":"I saw the wound, I saw it with mine eyes,-- God save the mark!--here on his manly breast. A piteous corse, a bloody piteous corse; Pale, pale as ashes, all bedaub'd in blood, All in gore-blood; I swounded at the sight."}

Despised substance of divinest show! Just opposite to what thou justly seem'st, A damned saint, an honourable villain! O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell, When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend In moral paradise of such sweet flesh? Was ever book containing such vile matter So fairly bound? O that deceit should dwell In such a gorgeous palace!"}

But, wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin? That villain cousin would have kill'd my husband. Back, foolish tears, back to your native spring; Your tributary drops belong to woe, Which you, mistaking, offer up to joy. My husband lives, that Tybalt would have slain; And Tybalt's dead, that would have slain my husband. All this is comfort; wherefore weep I then? Some word there was, worser than Tybalt's death, That murder'd me. I would forget it fain; But, O, it presses to my memory, Like damned guilty deeds to sinners minds. Tybalt is dead, and Romeo--banished; That banished, that one word banished, Hath slain ten thousand Tybalts. Tybalt's death Was woe enough, if it had ended there. Or, if sour woe delights in fellowship And needly will be rank'd with other griefs, Why follow'd not, when she said Tybalt's dead, Thy father, or thy mother, nay, or both, Which modern lamentations might have moved? But with a rear-ward following Tybalt's death, Romeo is banished, to speak that word, Is father, mother, Tybalt, Romeo, Juliet, All slain, all dead. Romeo is banished! There is no end, no limit, measure, bound, In that word's death; no words can that woe sound. Where is my father, and my mother, nurse?"}

Come, cords, come, nurse; I'll to my wedding-bed; And death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead!"}

Flies may do this, but I from this must fly. They are free men, but I am banished. And say'st thou yet that exile is not death? Hadst thou no poison mix'd, no sharp-ground knife, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, But banished to kill me?--'banished'? O friar, the damned use that word in hell; Howlings attend it. how hast thou the heart, Being a divine, a ghostly confessor, A sin-absolver, and my friend profess'd, To mangle me with that word banished'?"}

{"person":"Nurse","dialogue":"O, she says nothing, sir, but weeps and weeps; And now falls on her bed; and then starts up, And Tybalt calls; and then on Romeo cries, And then down falls again."}

{"person":"Friar Laurence","dialogue":"Hold thy desperate hand. Art thou a man? thy form cries out thou art. Thy tears are womanish; thy wild acts denote The unreasonable fury of a beast. Unseemly woman in a seeming man! Or ill-beseeming beast in seeming both! Thou hast amazed me. by my holy order, I thought thy disposition better temper'd. Hast thou slain Tybalt? wilt thou slay thyself? And stay thy lady too that lives in thee, By doing damned hate upon thyself? Why rail'st thou on thy birth, the heaven, and earth? Since birth, and heaven, and earth, all three do meet In thee at once; which thou at once wouldst lose. Fie, fie, thou shamest thy shape, thy love, thy wit; Which, like a usurer, abound'st in all, And usest none in that true use indeed Which should bedeck thy shape, thy love, thy wit. Thy noble shape is but a form of wax, Digressing from the valour of a man; Thy dear love sworn but hollow perjury, Killing that love which thou hast vow'd to cherish; Thy wit, that ornament to shape and love, Misshapen in the conduct of them both, Like powder in a skitless soldier's flask, Is set afire by thine own ignorance, And thou dismember'd with thine own defence. What, rouse thee, man! thy Juliet is alive, For whose dear sake thou wast but lately dead; There art thou happy. Tybalt would kill thee, But thou slew'st Tybalt; there are thou happy too. The law that threaten'd death becomes thy friend And turns it to exile; there art thou happy. A pack of blessings lights up upon thy back; Happiness courts thee in her best array; But, like a misbehaved and sullen wench, Thou pout'st upon thy fortune and thy love. Take heed, take heed, for such die miserable. Go, get thee to thy love, as was decreed, Ascend her chamber, hence and comfort her. But look thou stay not till the watch be set, For then thou canst not pass to Mantua; Where thou shalt live, till we can find a time To blaze your marriage, reconcile your friends, Beg pardon of the prince, and call thee back With twenty hundred thousand times more joy Than thou went'st forth in lamentation. Go before, nurse. commend me to thy lady; And bid her hasten all the house to bed, Which heavy sorrow makes them apt unto. Romeo is coming."}

Sojourn in Mantua; I'll find out your man, And he shall signify from time to time Every good hap to you that chances here. Give me thy hand; tis late. farewell; good night."}

Look you, she loved her kinsman Tybalt dearly, And so did I.--Well, we were born to die. Tis very late, she'll not come down to-night. I promise you, but for your company, I would have been a-bed an hour ago."}

Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed; Acquaint her here of my son Paris love; And bid her, mark you me, on Wednesday next-- But, soft! what day is this?"}
{"person":"Paris","dialogue":"Monday, my lord,"}
{"person":"Capulet","dialogue":"Monday! ha, ha! Well, Wednesday is too soon, O Thursday let it be. o Thursday, tell her, She shall be married to this noble earl. Will you be ready? do you like this haste? We'll keep no great ado,--a friend or two; For, hark you, Tybalt being slain so late, It may be thought we held him carelessly, Being our kinsman, if we revel much. Therefore we'll have some half a dozen friends, And there an end. But what say you to Thursday?"}
{"person":"Paris","dialogue":"My lord, I would that Thursday were to-morrow."}
{"person":"Capulet","dialogue":"Well get you gone. o Thursday be it, then. Go you to Juliet ere you go to bed, Prepare her, wife, against this wedding-day. Farewell, my lord. Light to my chamber, ho! Afore me! it is so very very late, That we may call it early by and by. Good night."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"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 yon pomegranate-tree. Believe me, love, it was the nightingale."}
{"person":"Romeo","dialogue":"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 mountain tops. I must be gone and live, or stay and die."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Yon light is not day-light, I know it, I. It is some meteor that the sun exhales, To be to thee this night a torch-bearer, And light thee on thy way to Mantua. Therefore stay yet; thou need'st not to be gone."}
{"person":"Romeo","dialogue":"Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death; I am content, so thou wilt have it so. I'll say yon grey is not the morning's eye, Tis but the pale reflex of Cynthia's brow; Nor that is not the lark, whose notes do beat The vaulty heaven so high above our heads. I have more care to stay than will to go. Come, death, and welcome! Juliet wills it so. How is't, my soul? let's talk; it is not day."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"It is, it is. hie hence, be gone, away! It is the lark that sings so out of tune, Straining harsh discords and unpleasing sharps. Some say the lark makes sweet division; This doth not so, for she divideth us. Some say the lark and loathed toad change eyes, O, now I would they had changed voices too! Since arm from arm that voice doth us affray, Hunting thee hence with hunt's-up to the day, O, now be gone; more light and light it grows."}

{"person":"Romeo","dialogue":"Farewell! I will omit no opportunity That may convey my greetings, love, to thee."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"O think'st thou we shall ever meet again?"}
{"person":"Romeo","dialogue":"I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve For sweet discourses in our time to come."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"O God, I have an ill-divining soul! Methinks I see thee, now thou art below, As one dead in the bottom of a tomb. Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale."}
{"person":"Romeo","dialogue":"And trust me, love, in my eye so do you. Dry sorrow drinks our blood. Adieu, adieu!"}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"O fortune, fortune! all men call thee fickle. If thou art fickle, what dost thou with him. That is renown'd for faith? Be fickle, fortune; For then, I hope, thou wilt not keep him long, But send him back."}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"[Within] Ho, daughter! are you up?"}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Who is't that calls? is it my lady mother? Is she not down so late, or up so early? What unaccustom'd cause procures her hither?"}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"Why, how now, Juliet!"}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Madam, I am not well."}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? What, wilt thou wash him from his grave with tears? An if thou couldst, thou couldst not make him live; Therefore, have done. some grief shows much of love; But much of grief shows still some want of wit."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Yet let me weep for such a feeling loss."}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"So shall you feel the loss, but not the friend Which you weep for."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Feeling so the loss, Cannot choose but ever weep the friend."}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"Well, girl, thou weep'st not so much for his death, As that the villain lives which slaughter'd him."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"What villain madam?"}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"That same villain, Romeo."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"[Aside] Villain and he be many miles asunder.-- God Pardon him! I do, with all my heart; And yet no man like he doth grieve my heart."}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"That is, because the traitor murderer lives."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Ay, madam, from the reach of these my hands. Would none but I might venge my cousin's death!"}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"We will have vengeance for it, fear thou not. Then weep no more. I'll send to one in Mantua, Where that same banish'd runagate doth live, Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram, That he shall soon keep Tybalt company. And then, I hope, thou wilt be satisfied."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Indeed, I never shall be satisfied With Romeo, till I behold him--dead-- Is my poor heart for a kinsman vex'd. Madam, if you could find out but a man To bear a poison, I would temper it; That Romeo should, upon receipt thereof, Soon sleep in quiet. O, how my heart abhors To hear him named, and cannot come to him. To wreak the love I bore my cousin Upon his body that slaughter'd him!"}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"Find thou the means, and I'll find such a man. But now I'll tell thee joyful tidings, girl."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"And joy comes well in such a needy time. What are they, I beseech your ladyship?"}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"Well, well, thou hast a careful father, child; One who, to put thee from thy heaviness, Hath sorted out a sudden day of joy, That thou expect'st not nor I look'd not for."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Madam, in happy time, what day is that?"}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn, The gallant, young and noble gentleman, The County Paris, at Saint Peter's Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Now, by Saint Peter's Church and Peter too, He shall not make me there a joyful bride. I wonder at this haste; that I must wed Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. I pray you, tell my lord and father, madam, I will not marry yet; and, when I do, I swear, It shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate, Rather than Paris. These are news indeed!"}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"Here comes your father; tell him so yourself, And see how he will take it at your hands."}
{"person":"Capulet","dialogue":"When the sun sets, the air doth drizzle dew; But for the sunset of my brother's son It rains downright. How now! a conduit, girl? what, still in tears? Evermore showering? In one little body Thou counterfeit'st a bark, a sea, a wind; For still thy eyes, which I may call the sea, Do ebb and flow with tears; the bark thy body is, Sailing in this salt flood; the winds, thy sighs; Who, raging with thy tears, and they with them, Without a sudden calm, will overset Thy tempest-tossed body. How now, wife! Have you deliver'd to her our decree?"}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"Ay, sir; but she will none, she gives you thanks. I would the fool were married to her grave!"}
{"person":"Capulet","dialogue":"Soft! take me with you, take me with you, wife. How! will she none? doth she not give us thanks? Is she not proud? doth she not count her blest, Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought So worthy a gentleman to be her bridegroom?"}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Not proud, you have; but thankful, that you have. Proud can I never be of what I hate; But thankful even for hate, that is meant love."}
{"person":"Capulet","dialogue":"How now, how now, chop-logic! What is this? Proud, and I thank you, and I thank you not; And yet not proud, mistress minion, you, Thank me no thankings, nor, proud me no prouds, But fettle your fine joints gainst Thursday next, To go with Paris to Saint Peter's Church, Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither. Out, you green-sickness carrion! out, you baggage! You tallow-face!"}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"Fie, fie! what, are you mad?"}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Good father, I beseech you on my knees, Hear me with patience but to speak a word."}
{"person":"Capulet","dialogue":"Hang thee, young baggage! disobedient wretch! I tell thee what. get thee to church o Thursday, Or never after look me in the face. Speak not, reply not, do not answer me; My fingers itch. Wife, we scarce thought us blest That God had lent us but this only child; But now I see this one is one too much, And that we have a curse in having her. Out on her, hilding!"}
{"person":"Nurse","dialogue":"God in heaven bless her! You are to blame, my lord, to rate her so."}
{"person":"Capulet","dialogue":"And why, my lady wisdom? hold your tongue, Good prudence; smatter with your gossips, go."}
{"person":"Nurse","dialogue":"I speak no treason."}
{"person":"Capulet","dialogue":"O, God ye god-den."}
{"person":"Nurse","dialogue":"May not one speak?"}
{"person":"Capulet","dialogue":"Peace, you mumbling fool! Utter your gravity o'er a gossip's bowl; For here we need it not."}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"You are too hot."}
{"person":"Capulet","dialogue":"God's bread! it makes me mad. Day, night, hour, tide, time, work, play, Alone, in company, still my care hath been To have her match'd. and having now provided A gentleman of noble parentage, Of fair demesnes, youthful, and nobly train'd, Stuff'd, as they say, with honourable parts, Proportion'd as one's thought would wish a man; And then to have a wretched puling fool, A whining mammet, in her fortune's tender, To answer I'll not wed; I cannot love, I am too young; I pray you, pardon me. But, as you will not wed, I'll pardon you. Graze where you will you shall not house with me. Look to't, think on't, I do not use to jest. Thursday is near; lay hand on heart, advise. An you be mine, I'll give you to my friend; And you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee, Nor what is mine shall never do thee good. Trust to't, bethink you; I'll not be forsworn."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Is there no pity sitting in the clouds, That sees into the bottom of my grief? O, sweet my mother, cast me not away! Delay this marriage for a month, a week; Or, if you do not, make the bridal bed In that dim monument where Tybalt lies."}
{"person":"Lady Capulet","dialogue":"Talk not to me, for I'll not speak a word. Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"O God!--O nurse, how shall this be prevented? My husband is on earth, my faith in heaven; How shall that faith return again to earth, Unless that husband send it me from heaven By leaving earth? comfort me, counsel me. Alack, alack, that heaven should practise stratagems Upon so soft a subject as myself! What say'st thou? hast thou not a word of joy? Some comfort, nurse."}
{"person":"Nurse","dialogue":"Faith, here it is. Romeo is banish'd; and all the world to nothing, That he dares ne'er come back to challenge you; Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. Then, since the case so stands as now it doth, I think it best you married with the county. O, he's a lovely gentleman! Romeo's a dishclout to him. an eagle, madam, Hath not so green, so quick, so fair an eye As Paris hath. Beshrew my very heart, I think you are happy in this second match, For it excels your first. or if it did not, Your first is dead; or twere as good he were, As living here and you no use of him."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Speakest thou from thy heart?"}
{"person":"Nurse","dialogue":"And from my soul too; Or else beshrew them both."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Amen!"}
{"person":"Nurse","dialogue":"What?"}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Well, thou hast comforted me marvellous much. Go in. and tell my lady I am gone, Having displeased my father, to Laurence cell, To make confession and to be absolved."}
{"person":"Nurse","dialogue":"Marry, I will; and this is wisely done."}
{"person":"Juliet","dialogue":"Ancient damnation! O most wicked fiend! Is it more sin to wish me thus forsworn, Or to dispraise my lord with that same tongue Which she hath praised him with above compare So many thousand times? Go, counsellor; Thou and my bosom henceforth shall be twain. I'll to the friar, to know his remedy. If all else fail, myself have power to die."}
