1He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
[JULIET appears above at a window.]
iiJust, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
3It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
4Ascend, off-white sunday, and impale the envious moon,
5Who is already ill and stake with grief,
half-dozen. her maid: i.e., devotee of Diana, goddess of the moon, and patroness of virgins.
8. Her vestal livery is merely sick and green: Her chaste uniform is light-green, like the "light-green-sickness," an anemia that was supposed to occur in single girls, because they were not fruitful.
sixThat thousand, her maid, art far more fair than she.
7Be not her maid, since she is envious;
8Her vestal livery is but ill and green
9And none simply fools practise wearable it; cast it off.
10It is my lady, O, information technology is my love!
11O, that she knew she were!
12She speaks still she says zilch; what of that?
13Her middle discourses; I will answer information technology.
14I am as well assuming, 'tis not to me she speaks.
15Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
16Having some business, do entreat her eyes
17. spheres: heavenly positions. According to the astronomy of Shakespeare'southward time, the stars were stock-still in concentric transparent spheres that revolved effectually the globe.
17To twinkle in their spheres till they render.
18What if her optics were there, they in her head?
19The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
20As daylight doth a lamp; her optics in sky
21. stream: smoothen.
21Would through the airy region stream and then vivid
22That birds would sing and remember it were not dark.
23See, how she leans her cheek upon her paw!
24O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
25That I might affect that cheek!
JULIET
25 Ay me!
ROMEO
25 She speaks!
26O, speak again, bright angel! for one thousand art
27Every bit glorious to this evening, beingness o'er my head
28As is a winged messenger of sky
29Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
30Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
31When he bestrides the lazy puffing clouds
32And sails upon the bust of the air.
JULIET
33. wherefore art thou Romeo?: why are you [named] Romeo [Montague]?
33O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art k Romeo?
34Deny thy male parent and refuse thy proper name;
35Or, if chiliad wilt not, be but sworn my love,
36And I'll no longer exist a Capulet.
ROMEO [Aside.]
37Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
JULIET
38'Tis only thy name that is my enemy;
39. Thou fine art thyself, though non a Montague: you are yourself, no matter if you are a Montague.
39Thousand art thyself, though not a Montague.
twoscoreWhat's Montague? it is nor hand, nor human foot,
41Nor arm, nor confront, nor any other part
42Belonging to a man. O, be some other proper noun!
43What'due south in a name? That which we phone call a rose
44By any other name would smell equally sweetness;
45And then Romeo would, were he non Romeo call'd,
46. owes: owns.
47. doff: shed.
46Retain that dear perfection which he owes
47Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
48And for that name which is no part of thee
49Take all myself.

lPhone call me only love, and I'll be new baptized;
51Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
JULIET
52. bescreen'd: hidden, as behind a screen.
53. my counsel: my conversation with myself.
52What man fine art one thousand that thus bescreen'd in nighttime
53So stumblest on my counsel?
ROMEO
53 By a name
54I know non how to tell thee who I am:
55My proper noun, dear saint, is hateful to myself,
56Because it is an enemy to thee;
57Had I information technology written, I would tear the word.
JULIET
58My ears take not yet drunk a hundred words
59Of that tongue's utterance, still I know the sound:
60Art k not Romeo and a Montague?
ROMEO
61. if either thee dislike: if either ["Romeo" or "Montague"] displeases y'all.
61Neither, off-white saint, if either thee dislike.
JULIET
62How camest thou here, tell me, and wherefore?
63The orchard walls are loftier and difficult to climb,
64And the place expiry, considering who one thousand fine art,
65If any of my kinsmen find thee here.
ROMEO
66. o'er-perch: fly over.
66With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls;
67For stony limits cannot hold beloved out,
68And what love can do, that dares love try;
69Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.
JULIET
lxxIf they exercise come across thee, they will murder thee.

71-72. at that place . . . swords!: In the love poesy of Shakespeare'due south time, information technology was often said that a disdainful look from the honey lady could impale the homo who loved her.
73. proof against: invulnerable to.
71Alack, in that location lies more than peril in thine eye
72Than twenty of their swords! Look thou simply sweet,
73And I am proof against their enmity.
JULIET
74I would not for the world they saw thee here.
ROMEO
75I take night's cloak to hibernate me from their sight;
76And merely one thousand beloved me, let them observe me hither:
77My life were better ended by their hate,
78. death prorogued, wanting of thy love: death drawn out, because of lack of love from you.
78Than death prorogued, wanting of thy dearest.
JULIET
79By whose direction found'st thou out this place?
ROMEO
fourscorePast honey, who start did prompt me to inquire;
81. He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes: he [love] gave me inspiration and I gave him [dearest] sight.
81He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes.
82I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far
83As that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea,
84. I would adventure for such trade: I would accept every adventure for such a precious prize.
84I would adventure for such trade.
JULIET
85Thou know'st the mask of nighttime is on my face up,
86Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek
87For that which thou hast heard me speak tonight.
88. Fain: gladly. dwell on class: stay within the limits of the formalities [of courtship]. 89.compliment: convention—the expected exchange of compliments.

90Dost m love me? I know thousand wilt say "Ay,"
91. if thou swear'st: if y'all swear [that you honey me].
92. Thou mayst show false: yous may prove to be untrue [to your vow of beloved]. 92-93. at lovers' perjuries . . . Jove laughs: they say Jove laughs at lovers' lies.
91And I will take thy word; yet if thou swear'st,
92Thou mayst prove fake; at lovers' perjuries
93They say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,
94If yard dost love, pronounce it faithfully;
95Or if m think'st I am too quickly won,
96I'll frown and be perverse, and say thee nay,
97. So thou wilt woo: i.e., then yous volition woo me.
98. fond: foolish, innocent, impulsive.
99. light: wanton, flirtatious.
97Then yard wilt woo; but else, not for the world.
98In truth, off-white Montague, I am too fond,
99And therefore thou mayst think my behavior light,
100But trust me, admirer, I'll prove more true
101. those that have more coying to exist strange: those who have more skill at coquetry playact standoffishness to seem more than desirable. 102.should have: would take. 103.ere I was ware: before I was aware [of your presence].
101Than those that have more coying to be strange.
102I should have been more than strange, I must confess,
103But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware,
104My true dearest'southward passion; therefore pardon me,
105And not impute this yielding to light love,
106. discovered: uncovered, revealed.
106Which the dark night hath then discovered.
ROMEO
107Lady, by yonder blessed moon I swear
108That tips with silvery all these fruit-tree tops—
JULIET
109O, swear non by the moon, the inconstant moon,
110. changes in her circled orb: i.e., changes her course. According to the astronomy of Shakespeare'southward time, each heavenly body was stock-still in a sphere ("circled orb"), which revolved around the globe, and those spheres were supposed to be perfect, but the sphere of the moon appeared to be highly erratic.
110That monthly changes in her circled orb,
111Lest that thy love prove besides variable.
ROMEO
112What shall I swear by?
JULIET
112 Do not swear at all;
113Or, if thou wilt, swear past thy gracious self,
114Which is the god of my idolatry,
115And I'll believe thee.

117. contract: commutation of vows.
118. unadvised: ill-considered.
117I have no joy of this contract tonight:
118It is too rash, too unadvised, besides sudden;

120Ere one tin can say "It lightens." Sweet, good night!
121This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath,
122May prove a beauteous blossom when next we meet.
123Practiced night, good dark! as sweet tranquility and remainder
124Come to thy heart as that within my breast!
ROMEO
125O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?
JULIET
126What satisfaction canst thou have tonight?

JULIET
