Juliet: Act 1, Scene 5 "The lovers meet" Flashcards
Romeo:
[To JULIET]
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
Juliet:
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss.
Romeo:
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
Juliet:
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use IN prayer.
Romeo:
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
Juliet:
Saints do not move, though (thow) grant for prayers’ sake.
Romeo:
Then move not, while my prayer’s effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.
Juliet:
Then have my lips the sin that they have took.
Romeo:
Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
Give me my sin again.
Juliet:
You kiss by the book.
Capulet:
Nay, gentlemen, prepare not to be gone;
We have a trifling foolish banquet towards.
Is it e’en so? why, then, I thank you all
I thank you, honest gentlemen; good night.
More torches here! Come on then, let’s to bed.
Ah, sirrah, by my fay, it waxes late:
I’ll to my rest
Juliet:
Come hither, nurse. What is yond gentleman?
Nurse:
The son and heir of old Tiberio.
Juliet:
What’s he that now is going out of door?
Nurse:
Marry, that, I think, be young Petrucio.
Juliet:
What’s he that follows there, that would not dance?
Nurse:
I know not.
Juliet:
Go ask his name: if he be married.
My grave is like to be my wedding bed.
Nurse:
His name is Romeo, and a Montague;
The only son of your great enemy.
Juliet:
My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me,
That I must love a loathed enemy.
Nurse:
What’s this? what’s this?
Juliet:
A rhyme I learn’d even now
Of one I danced withal.
