O Romeo Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name, or, if thou shalt not, then be but sworn my love, and I’ll no longer be a capulet.
Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
Thou art thyself, thought not a Montague.
What’s a Montague?
It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face nor any other part belonging to a man.
O be some other name!
What’s in a name?
That which we call a rose by any other word should smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title.
Romeo, doff thy name, which is no part of thee, and take all myself.
