Look over grades
BENVOLIO
Good-morrow, cousin.ROMEO
Is the day so young?BENVOLIO
But new struck nine.ROMEO
Ay me! sad hours seem long.BENVOLIO
Was that my father that went hence so fast?
It was. What sadness lengthens Romeo's hours?ROMEO
Not having that, which, having, makes them short.BENVOLIO
In love?ROMEO
Out--BENVOLIO
Of love?ROMEO
Out of her favour, where I am in love.BENVOLIO
Alas, that love, so gentle in his view,ROMEO
Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!
Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still,BENVOLIO
Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will!
Where shall we dine? O me! What fray was here?
Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all.
Here's much to do with hate, but more with love.
Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness! serious vanity!
Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire,
sick health!
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
Dost thou not laugh?
No, coz, I rather weep.ROMEO
Good heart, at what?BENVOLIO
At thy good heart's oppression.ROMEO
Why, such is love's transgression.BENVOLIO
Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,
Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prest
With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown
Doth add more grief to too much of mine own.
Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
Being vex'd a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears:
What is it else? a madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.
Farewell, my coz.
Soft! I will go along;ROMEO
An if you leave me so, you do me wrong.
Tut, I have lost myself; I am not here;BENVOLIO
This is not Romeo, he's some other where.
Tell me in sadness, who is that you love.ROMEO
What, shall I groan and tell thee?BENVOLIO
Groan! why, no.ROMEO
But sadly tell me who.
Bid a sick man in sadness make his will:BENVOLIO
Ah, word ill urged to one that is so ill!
In sadness, cousin, I do love a woman.
I aim'd so near, when I supposed you loved.ROMEO
A right good mark-man! And she's fair I love.BENVOLIO
A right fair mark, fair coz, is soonest hit.ROMEO
Well, in that hit you miss: she'll not be hitBENVOLIO
With Cupid's arrow; she hath Dian's wit;
And, in strong proof of chastity well arm'd,
From love's weak childish bow she lives unharm'd.
She will not stay the siege of loving terms,
Nor bide the encounter of assailing eyes,
Nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold:
O, she is rich in beauty, only poor,
That when she dies with beauty dies her store.
Then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste?ROMEO
She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste,BENVOLIO
For beauty starved with her severity
Cuts beauty off from all posterity.
She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair,
To merit bliss by making me despair:
She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow
Do I live dead that live to tell it now.
Be ruled by me, forget to think of her.ROMEO
O, teach me how I should forget to think.BENVOLIO
By giving liberty unto thine eyes;ROMEO
Examine other beauties.
'Tis the wayBENVOLIO
To call hers exquisite, in question more:
These happy masks that kiss fair ladies' brows
Being black put us in mind they hide the fair;
He that is strucken blind cannot forget
The precious treasure of his eyesight lost:
Show me a mistress that is passing fair,
What doth her beauty serve, but as a note
Where I may read who pass'd that passing fair?
Farewell: thou canst not teach me to forget.
I'll pay that doctrine, or else die in debt.
