CHORUS Now old desire doth in his deathbed lie, And young affection gapes to be his heir. That fair for which love groaned for and would die With tender Juliet matched, is now not fair. 5 Now Romeo is beloved and loves again, Alike bewitchèd by the charm of looks, But to his foe supposed he must complain, And she steal love’s sweet bait from fearful hooks. Being held a foe, he may not have access 10 To breathe such vows as lovers use to swear. And she as much in love, her means much less To meet her new beloved anywhere. But passion lends them power, time means, to meet, Tempering extremities with extreme sweet. | UHRSOC Nwo mooeR’s lod iglesefn of idesre era dyign, adn a wne deirse is reega to taek ertih eapcl. eoomR ernaogd ofr het euuifatbl elaonRis adn disa he dowlu die for hre, ubt emacrdop ihtw reendt liJeut, Rlineaso eosdn’t mese itlufeuba own.
