ROMEO. She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste, She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair, BENVOLIO. Be rul'd by me, forget to think of her. ROMEO. O, teach me how I should forget to think. BENVOLIO. By giving liberty unto thine eyes; Examine other beauties. ROMEO. 'Tis the way To call hers exquisite, in question more: Where I may read who pass'd that passing fair? Farewell thou canst not teach me to forget. : SCENE II A STREET. Enter CAPULET, PARIS, and SERVANT. CAPULET. But Montague is bound as well as I, PARIS. Of honourable reckoning are you both; CAPULET. But saying o'er what I have said before: My child is yet a stranger in the world; She hath not seen the change of fourteen years; PARIS. Younger than she are happy mothers made. CAPULET. And too soon marr'd are those so early made. She is the hopeful lady of my earth: This night I hold an old accustom'd feast, Such as I love; and you, among the store, One more, most welcome, makes my number more. And like her most whose merit most shall be: To Servant, giving a paper. Go, sirrah, trudge about Through fair Verona; find those persons out SERVANT. Exeunt Capulet and Paris. Find them out whose names are written here! It is written, that the shoemaker should meddle with his yard, and the tailor with his last, the fisher with his pencil, and the painter with his nets; but I am sent to find those persons whose names are here writ, and can never find what names the writing person hath here writ. I must to the learned. In good time. Enter BENVOLIO and ROMEO. BENVOLIO. Tut, man, one fire burns out another's burning, And the rank poison of the old will die. Not mad, but bound more than a madman is; Shut up in prison, kept without my food, Whipp'd and tormented and God-den, good fellow. SERVANT. God gi' god-den. I pray, sir, can you read? ROMEO. Ay, mine own fortune in my misery. SERVANT. Perhaps you have learn'd it without book; but, I pray, can you read any thing you see? ROMEO. Ay, if I know the letters and the language. SERVANT. Ye say honestly rest you merry! ROMEO. Stay, fellow; I can read. Reads. Signior Martino and his wife and daughters; County Anselme and his beauteous sisters; the lady widow of Vitruvio; Signior Placentio and his lovely nieces; Mercutio and his brother Valentine; mine uncle Capulet, his wife, and daughters; my fair niece Rosaline; Livia; Signior Valentio and his cousin Tybalt; Lucio and the lively Helena. A fair assembly whither should they come? Indeed, I should have ask'd you that before. SERVANT. Now I'll tell you without asking my master is the great rich Capulet; and if you be not of the house. |
