Oh heavy lightness! Serious frivolity!Deformed chaos of outwardly pretty forms!Lead feather, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health! 175Ever-wakeful sleep, that is not what it is!I take no joy from this love I feel.Are you laughing at me?BenvolioNo, cousin, I’m crying.RomeoDear, good-hearted friend, why? 180BenvolioBecause of your good heart’s grief.RomeoThis is love’s sin.My own griefs make my heart heavywhich will only increase if burdenedwith your sorrow, too. The love which you have shown me 185adds more grief to my own too heavy sorrow.Love is a smoke rising from the fumes of sighs;when the air is cleared, love is a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes.When frustrated, love is a sea fed by lovers’ tears.What else is love? A very wise insanity, 190a choking bitterness, and a lasting sweet.Good-bye, cousin.BenvolioWait! I’ll go with you.If you leave me, you’ll do me wrong.RomeoNonsense, I’ve lost myself; I’m not here. 195This isn’t Romeo; he’s somewhere else.BenvolioTell me in all seriousness, who is it that you love?RomeoDo you want me to groan and tell you?BenvolioGroan? No,Act 1, Scene 1 39
200But sadly tell me who.RomeoBid a sick man in sadness make his will—A word ill urg’d to one that is so ill!In sadness, cousin, I do love a woman.BenvolioI aim’d so near when I suppos’d you lov’d.Romeo205 A right good mark-man! And she’s fair I love.BenvolioA right fair mark, fair coz, is soonest hit.RomeoWell, in that hit you miss. She’ll not be hitWith Cupid’s arrow; she hath Dian’s wit;And, in strong proof of chastity well arm’d,210 From Love’s weak childish bow she lives unharm’d.She will not stay the siege of loving terms,Nor bide th’ encounter of assailing eyes,Nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold.O, she is rich in beauty, only poor215 That, when she dies, with beauty dies her store.BenvolioThen she hath sworn that she will still live chaste?RomeoShe hath, and in that sparing make huge waste;For beauty starv’d with her severityCuts beauty off from all posterity.220 She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair,To merit bliss by making me despair.She hath forsworn to love, and in that vowDo I live dead that live to tell it now.BenvolioBe rul’d by me, forget to think of her.Romeo225 O, teach me how I should forget to think.40Romeo and Juliet
