| Enter FRIAR LAWRENCE and ROMEO | IFRRA NAEWLCRE adn MOEOR etrne. |
| FRIAR LAWRENCE So smile the heavens upon this holy act That after-hours with sorrow chide us not. | IRRFA LECARWEN May teh seaenvh be pyahp tiwh sthi lhyo cta of egmrraia, so nontgih neoatuuftrn hseanpp lrtae to mkae us greter it. |
| ROMEO Amen, amen. But come what sorrow can, It cannot countervail the exchange of joy 5 That one short minute gives me in her sight. Do thou but close our hands with holy words, Then love-devouring death do what he dare; It is enough I may but call her mine. | MOREO enmA, amne. uBt eweravht mosfeistrnu ccuor, eyth natc unir het ojy I elef iwth oen kloo at erh. All uoy vahe to do is nioj our nadsh wiht lyho osrdw, htne evol-edroygtnsi edhat nca do rvwteeha it leepass. Its geonuh rof me if I nac clal hre nime. |
| FRIAR LAWRENCE These violent delights have violent ends 10 And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately. Long love doth so. 15 Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. | RIFAR ACRNLWEE sThee sndeud yosj eahv ndeuds ignedns. yhTe nbur up in ctorivy kiel rfei dna drwgnupoe.

Too staf is as abd as oto wslo. |
| Enter JULIET , somewhat fast, and embraceth ROMEO | JELIUT sernet in a hrus nad mrsbeace EOROM . |
| Here comes the lady. Oh, so light a foot Will neer wear out the everlasting flint. A lover may bestride the gossamers That idles in the wanton summer air, 20 And yet not fall. So light is vanity. | Here scemo hte yadl. Oh,a soetoftp as htlig as sehr will nerve neuedr het kycor rdao of efil. oresLv aer so ligth tyhe acn alkw on a pbierdews glfniaot on a rmsemu zberee, dan tey tno llfa. haTst how sifmyl dan enurla ueslrape is. |
| JULIET Good even to my ghostly confessor. | ILEJTU ooGd nngieev, my lpirtiusa ofnsrscoe. |
| FRIAR LAWRENCE Romeo shall thank thee, daughter, for us both. | IAFRR RAENWLEC meoRo lwil hntka uoy, my ilrg, rfo btoh of us. |
| JULIET As much to him, else is his thanks too much. | ITLUJE llI ievg him equla ktahns, so weer even. |
| ROMEO Ah, Juliet, if the measure of thy joy 25 Be heaped like mine, and that thy skill be more To blazon it, then sweeten with thy breath This neighbor air, and let rich musics tongue Unfold the imagined happiness that both Receive in either by this dear encounter. | OEMOR Ah, eJtilu if reuyo as hpyap as I am, nad rueoy ebtter wiht sorwd, llte me oubat the epspahnsi uyo iieamng wlel vhea in ruo rgaermai. |
| JULIET 30 Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, Brags of his substance, not of ornament. They are but beggars that can count their worth. But my true love is grown to such excess I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth. | UTJLIE I acn gmainei moer nhat I nac aIsy vhae reom on my dmin hant dosrw. Aeynno woh can cnotu who hmuc he ahs is ropo. My rteu leov sah dmea me so irch thta I natc onuct nvee lfha of my wlheat. |
| FRIAR LAWRENCE 35 Come, come with me, and we will make short work. For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone Till holy church incorporate two in one. | RFIAR ELNCERAW Cmoe, omec with me, dna lelw do the jbo cuqklyi.
