BENVOLIO - Romeo&Juliet Flashcards
(SCENE)
An I were so apt quarrel as thou art, any man should buy the fee simple of my life for an hour and a quarter.
MERCUTIO: The fee simple? O simple! [Enter Tybalt and Petruchio]
By my head, here comes the Capulets
MERCUTIO: Consort? What, dost thou make us minstrels? An thou make minstrels of us, look to hear nothing but discords. Here’s my fiddlestick; here’s that shall make you dance. Zounds, consort!
We talk here in the public haunt of men. Either withdraw unto some private place, Or reason coldly of your grievances, Or else depart. Here all eyes gaze on us.
MERCUTIO: I am hurt. A plague o’ both houses! I am spent. Is he gone and hath nothing?
What, art thou hurt?
ROMEO: -Tybalt, that an hour Hath been my cousin! O sweet Juliet, They beauty hath made me effeminate And in my temper softened valor’s steel.
[Enter Benvolio]
O Romeo, Romeo, brave Mercutio is dead. That gallant spirit hath aspired the clouds, Which too untimely here did scorn the earth.
[Enter Tybalt]
Here comes the furious Tybalt back again.
