Romeo and Juliet

Only to be generous and give it to you once more. But I’m wishing for something I already have. My generosity to you is as limitless as the sea, and my love is as deep. The more love I give you, the more I have. Both loves are infinite.

I hear a noise inside. Dear love, goodbye—Just a minute, good Nurse. Sweet Montague, be true. Stay here for a moment. I’ll come back.

Oh, blessed, blessed night! Because it’s dark out, I’m afraid all this is just a dream, too sweet to be real.

Three words, dear Romeo, and then it’s good night for real. If your intentions as a lover are truly honorable and you want to marry me, send me word tomorrow. I’ll send a messenger to you, and you can pass on a message telling me where and when we’ll be married. I’ll lay all my fortunes at your feet and follow you, my lord, all over the world.

(offstage) Madam!

(to the NURSE) I’ll be right there! (to ROMEO) But if you don’t have honorable intentions, I beg you—

(offstage) Madam!
