JULIET appears in a window above	UTJELI srnete on eht oycbnal.
But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, 5 Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. Be not her maid since she is envious. Her vestal livery is but sick and green, And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off! 10 It is my lady. Oh, it is my love. Oh, that she knew she were! She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of that? Her eye discourses. I will answer it. I am too bold. Tis not to me she speaks. 15 Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars 20 As daylight doth a lamp. Her eye in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night. See how she leans her cheek upon her hand. Oh, that I were a glove upon that hand 25 That I might touch that cheek!	But awit, whsta thta ilhtg in eht dwowni erov eetrh?

JULIET Ay me!	LJUTEI Oh, my!
ROMEO (aside) She speaks. O, speak again, bright angel! For thou art As glorious to this night, being oer my head, As is a wingd messenger of heaven Unto the white, upturnd, wondering eyes 30 Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him When he bestrides the lazy-puffing clouds And sails upon the bosom of the air.	EROMO (to silhefm) eSh aeskps. Oh, speak giaan, rithgb elgna. Yuo ear as ougislor as an elang tgohnti.

JULIET O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. 35 Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And Ill no longer be a Capulet.	TLIJEU (tno ninwogk MROOE raehs reh) Oh, oeRom, oomeR, wyh do yuo ehva to be oRmoe? Ftgore btoua oryu ftearh dna gacenh oryu amne. Or sele, if yuo otwn cghean your emna, tsju aswre you lvoe me dna lIl sopt nbieg a ltuCpea.
ROMEO (aside) Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?	RMOEO (to felhsmi) lSduoh I estlni ofr eorm, or sudloh I speak onw?
JULIET Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. 40 Whats Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! Whats in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet. 45 So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name, which is no part of thee Take all myself.	TJILEU (illts ont ngkoniw EMORO rhesa her) tIs nylo uyor eman httas my emnye. uoYd sltil be feuyrsol vnee if uyo pspoetd gnbei a Monutgae. ahWts a oneaMutg ayynaw?

Taerd in oruy wmaehihcn lrlyae sah tinnhgo to do wthi aduyon etka all of me in nageecxh.
ROMEO I take thee at thy word. 50 Call me but love, and Ill be new baptized. Henceforth I never will be Romeo.	ORMOE (to JULIET) I uttrs uoyr drsow. utsJ acll me yuro eovl, dna I lilw ekta a wne aenm. oFrm wno on I lilw enrve be ooeRm aniag.
JULIET What man art thou that, thus bescreened in night, So stumblest on my counsel?	TEIJUL hoW aer oyu? yWh do you heid in the enkdssar and ntsiel to my veitarp tghthosu?
ROMEO By a name I know not how to tell thee who I am. 55 My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself Because it is an enemy to thee. Had I it written, I would tear the word.	OMROE I tond nokw woh to ltle uyo woh I am by gltelin you a nmae. I htea my eanm, rdae natsi, eabsuec my enma is yrou enyme. If I hda it wtniert dnwo, I ulowd tare up eht aeprp.
JULIET My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words Of that tongues uttering, yet I know the sound. 60 Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?	IJELTU I anhtve dhaer ouy asy a drheund sordw yet, tub I ozegenirc teh ndsuo of uyor oceiv. Aretn ouy emooR? nAd naert you a oanMegut?
ROMEO Neither, fair maid, if either thee dislike.	RMOEO I am thnerie of thsoe nsitgh if oyu kisedli them.
JULIET How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore? The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, And the place death, considering who thou art, 65 If any of my kinsmen find thee here.	UTLIJE Tlle me, how ddi uoy gte in eerh? dnA why ddi yuo eomc? eTh raorhcd alwsl era hhgi, dan sit hrad to ilmbc oevr mhte. If nay of my iervlaest dinf oyu rhee thyell kill oyu ebsceua of ohw oyu rea.
ROMEO With loves light wings did I oerperch these walls, For stony limits cannot hold love out, And what love can do, that dares love attempt. Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.	OMOER I lwfe eorv ehtes swlal tiwh teh hligt igwns of elvo. ntSoe lsalw cnta ekep evlo otu. avWetehr a anm in eovl can lbypsois do, hsi loev lwil kame ihm ytr to do it. feereTrho ruyo eerisvatl rae no cebolast.
JULIET 70 If they do see thee they will murder thee.	TLEJUI If eyht see oyu, yehllt emrdru uoy.
ROMEO Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye Than twenty of their swords. Look thou but sweet, And I am proof against their enmity.	MOERO slaA, noe ngyar kolo ofmr uyo dwlou be erswo hant ywnett of yrou versitael thwi rossdw. Jstu olok at me dinkly, nad Im ielbcvinin siatang teihr ehadrt.
JULIET I would not for the world they saw thee here.	ITLJUE Id evig hanyitgn to kpee tehm mrfo egesni oyu ehre.
ROMEO 75 I have nights cloak to hide me from their eyes, And but thou love me, let them find me here. My life were better ended by their hate Than death prorogud, wanting of thy love.	RMOOE hTe nkredass lilw hdie me rfmo ehmt. nAd if ouy tdon voel me, tle hmte nifd me eehr. Id retrha yhet ldelik me anht hvae to ivel uowtiht rouy eolv.
JULIET By whose direction foundst thou out this place?	TEUILJ ohW lodt yuo hwo to teg here bwole my rmobode?
ROMEO 80 By love, that first did prompt me to inquire. He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes. I am no pilot. Yet, wert thou as far As that vast shore washed with the farthest sea, I would adventure for such merchandise.	OREMO oevL oedswh me eht ewhtya ames hignt atth made me kloo fro oyu in het rsift eaclp. oLev odtl me awht to do, dan I tel elov wororb my yese. Im ton a irloas, utb if uoy erwe srcoas eht tasthref esa, I dluow rsik reyvehtgni to iagn uyo.
JULIET 85 Thou knowst the mask of night is on my face, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek For that which thou hast heard me speak tonight. Fain would I dwell on form. Fain, fain deny What I have spoke. But farewell compliment! Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say ay, And I will take thy word. Yet if thou swearst Thou mayst prove false. At lovers perjuries, They say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo, If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully. 95 Or if thou thinkst I am too quickly won, Ill frown and be perverse and say thee nay, So thou wilt woo. But else, not for the world. In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond, And therefore thou mayst think my havior light. 100 But trust me, gentleman, Ill prove more true Than those that have more coying to be strange. I should have been more strange, I must confess, But that thou overheardst, ere I was ware, My true loves passion. Therefore pardon me, 105 And not impute this yielding to light love, Which the dark night hath so discovered.	UEIJTL Yuo ntac ese my aefc bcaeues tsi rkda uot. rOwthseie, oydu ese me sbuilngh atubo het ihsgtn uvoey arhed me asy thtngoi.

ROMEO If my hearts dear love	RMOOE If my ethasr adre leov
JULIET Well, do not swear. Although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract tonight. It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden, Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be Ere one can say It lightens. Sweet, good night. This bud of love, by summers ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. Good night, good night! As sweet repose and rest Come to thy heart as that within my breast.

That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet. 45 So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title.

JULIET 85 Thou knowst the mask of night is on my face, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek For that which thou hast heard me speak tonight. Fain would I dwell on form. Fain, fain deny What I have spoke. But farewell compliment! Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say ay, And I will take thy word. Yet if thou swearst Thou mayst prove false. At lovers perjuries, They say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo, If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully. 95 Or if thou thinkst I am too quickly won, Ill frown and be perverse and say thee nay, So thou wilt woo. But else, not for the world. In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond, And therefore thou mayst think my havior light. 100 But trust me, gentleman, Ill prove more true Than those that have more coying to be strange. I should have been more strange, I must confess, But that thou overheardst, ere I was ware, My true loves passion. Therefore pardon me, 105 And not impute this yielding to light love, Which the dark night hath so discovered.
