This morning here she pointed we should meet, And consummate those never parting bands, Witness of our heart's love by joining hands, And come she will. I guess she will indeed, Youth's love is quick, swifter than swiftest speed. See where she comes. So light of foot near hurts the trodden flower: Of love and joy, see see the sovereign power, Romeo. My Iuliet welcome. As do waking eyes (Closed in Night's mists) attend the frolic Day, So Romeo hath expected Iuliet, And thou art come. I am (if I be Day) Come to my Sun: shine forth, and make me fair. All beauteous fairness dwelleth in thine eyes. Ro from thine all brightnes doth arise. Come wantoness, come, the stealing hours do pass Defer embracements till some fitter time, Part for a while, you shall not be alone, Till holy Church have joined ye both in one. Led holy Father, all delay seems long. Make haste, make haste, this lingering doth us wrong. O, soft and fair makes sweetest work they say. Hast is a common hinderer in cross way. I pray thee good Mercutio let's retire, The day is hot, the Capulets are abroad. Thou art like one of those, that when he comes into the confines of a tavern, claps me his rapier on the board, and says, God send me no need of thee: and by the operation of the next cup of wine, he draws it on the drawer, when indeed there is no need. Am I like such a one? Go too, thou art as hot a Iacke being moved, and as soon moved to be moody, and as soon moody to be moved. And what too? Nay, and there were two such, we should have none shortly. Didst not thou fall out with a man for cracking of nuts, having no other reason, but because thou hadst hasill eyes? what eye but such an eye would have picked out such a quarrel? With another for coughing, because he waked thy dog that lay a sleep in the Sun? With a Tailor for wearing his new doublet before Easter: and with another for tying his new shoes with old ribbons. And yet thou wilt forbid me of quarreling. By my head here comes a Capolet. By my heel I care not. Gentlemen a word with one of you. But one word with one of us? You had best couple it with somewhat, and make it a word and a blow. I am apt enough to that if I have occasion. Can you not take occasion? Mercutio thou consorts with Romeo? Consort Zwounes consort? the slave will make fiddlers of us. If you do sirrah, look for nothing but discord: For here's my fiddlestick. Well peace be with you, here comes my man. But I'll be hanged if he wear your livery: Marry go before into the field, and he may be your follower, so in that sense your worship may call him man.

This morning here she pointed we should meet, And consumate those neuer parting bands, Witnes of our harts loue by ioyning hands, And come she will. I gesse she will indeed, Youths loue is quicke, swifter than swiftest speed. See where she comes. So ligh of foote nere hurts the troden flower: Of loue and ioy, see see the soueraigne power, Romeo. My Iuliet welcome. As doo waking eyes (Cloasd in Nights mysts) attend the frolicke Day, So Romeo hath expected Iuliet, And thou rt come. I am (if I be Dy) Come to my Sunne: shine foorth, and make me faire. All beauteous fairnes dwelleth in thine eyes. Ro from thine all brightnes doth arise. Come wantons, come, the stealing houres do passe Defer imbracements till some firer time, Part for a while, you shall not be alone, Till holy Church haue ioynd ye both in one. Lead holy Father, all delay seemes long. Make hast, make hast, this lingring doth vs wrong. O, soft and faire makes sweetest worke they say. Hast is a common indrer in crosse way. I pree thee good Mercutio lets retire, The day is hot, the Capels are abroad. Thou art like one of those, that when hee comes into the confines of a tauerne, claps me his rapier on the boord, and sayes, God send me no need of thee: and by the operation of the next cup of wine, he drawes it on the drawer, when indeed there s no need. Am I like such a one? Go too, thou art as hot a Iacke being mooude, and as soone mooude to be moodie, and as soone moodie to be mooud. And what too? Nay, and there were two such, wee should haue none shortly. Didst not thou fall out with a man for cracking of nuts, hauing no other reason, but because thou hadst hasill eyes? what eye but such an eye would haue pickt out such a quarrell? With another for coughing, because hee wakd thy dogge that laye a sleepe in the Sunne? With a Taylor for wearing his new dublet before Easter: and with another for tying his new shoes with olde ribands. And yet thou wilt forbid me of quarrelling. By my head heere comes a Capolet. By my heele I care not. Gentlemen a word with one of you. But one word with one of vs? You had best couple it with somewhat, and make it a word and a blow. I am apt enough to that if I haue occasion. Could you not take occasion? Mercutio thou consorts with Romeo? Consort Zwounes consort? the slaue wil make fidlers of vs. If you doe sirra, look for nothing but discord: For heeres my fiddle-sticke. Well peace be with you, heere comes my man. But Ile be hanged if he weare your lyuery: Mry go before into the field, and he may be your follower, so in that sence your worship may call him man.
