Romeo And Juliet Act 4 Scene 1 Lines Flashcards
Paris:
My father Capulet will have it so,
And I am nothing slow to slack his haste
You say you do not know the lady’s mind?
Uneven is the course. I like it not.
My line is the first line…
On Thursday, sir? The time is very short.
Juliet: What must be shall be.
That’s a certain text.
Paris:
…
May be put from her by society.
Now do you know the reason of this haste.
(Aside)
I would I knew not why it should be slowed-
Look, sir, here comes the lady toward my cell.
Juliet: Are you at leisure, holy father, now,
Or should I come to you at evening Mass?
My leisure serves me, pensive daughter, now-
My lord, we must entreat the time alone.
Juliet: O, shut the door, and when thou hast done so,
Come weep with me, past hope, past care, past help.
O Juliet, I already know thy grief.
It strains me past the compass of my wits.
I hear thou must, and nothing my prorogue it,
On Thursday next be married to this County.
Juliet: Be not so long to speak. I long to die
If what thou speak’st speak not of remedy.
Hold, daughter, I do spy a kind of hope,
Which craves as desperate an execution
As that is desperate which we would prevent.
If, rather than to marry County Paris,
Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself,
Then it is likely thou wilt undertake
A thing like death to chide away this shame,
That cop’st with death himself to ‘scape from it;
And if thou darest, I’ll give thee remedy.
