Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
The world is not thy friend, nor the world's law. - Romeo
Benvolio- "By my head, here come the Capulets." Mercutio- "By my heel, I care not.
Benvolio: What sadness lengthens Romeo's hours? Romeo: Not having that, which, having, makes them short.
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.
My only love sprung from my only hate.
The Brightness of her cheek would shame those stars as daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven would through the airy region stream so bright that birds would sing, and think it were not night.
I have a soul of lead So stakes me to the ground I cannot move.
she shall scant show well that now shows best.
What sadness lengthens Romeo’s hours?
I will make thee think thy swan a crow.
O teach me how I should forget to think (1.1.224)
O, here Will I set up my everlasting rest, And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss A dateless bargain to engrossing death!
for Mercutio's soul Is but a little way above our heads, Staying for thine to keep him company: Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him.
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.
Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.
A glooming peace this morning with it brings; The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head: Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished: For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
This day's black fate on more days doth depend; This but begins the woe, others must end.
O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head As is a winged messenger of heaven
I’ll look to like, if looking liking move; But no more deep will I endart mine eye than your consent gives strength to make it fly.
