Scene 5

Question 1

Romeo- If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: my lips, to blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss

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
