BenvolioJust set your eyes freeto look at other beautiful women.RomeoThat would just be another wayto make me recall her unparalleled beauty.Those fortunate masks that kiss beautiful ladies’ foreheads, 230being black, make us remember that they hide the beautiful.The man who is struck blind can’t forgetthe precious treasure of his lost eyesight.Show me a woman who’s surpassingly beautiful,and I’ll ask what good is her beauty except as a note 235where I could read who is still more beautiful than that beauty?Good-bye! You can’t teach me to forget her.BenvolioI’ll make you change your mind or die trying.They exit.Act 1, Scene 1 43
Act I, Scene ii[A street.] Enter Capulet, Paris, and the clown[a Servant].CapuletBut Montague is bound as well as I,In penalty alike; and ’tis not hard, I think,For men so old as we to keep the peace.ParisOf honourable reckoning are you both;5 And pity ’tis you liv’d at odds so long.But now, my lord, what say you to my suit?CapuletBut saying o’er what I have said before.My child is yet a stranger in the world;She hath not seen the change of fourteen years.10 Let two more summers wither in their pride,Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.ParisYounger than she are happy mothers made.CapuletAnd too soon marr’d are those so early made.The earth hath swallow’d all my hopes but she;15 She is the hopeful lady of my earth;But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart,My will to her consent is but a part;And, she agreed, within her scope of choiceLies my consent and fair according voice.20 This night I hold an old accustom’d feast,Whereto I have invited many a guest,Such as I love; and you, among the storeOne more, most welcome, makes my numbermore.At my poor house look to behold this night25 Earth-treading stars that make dark heavenlight.Such comfort as do lusty young men feelWhen well-apparell’d April on the heel44Romeo and Juliet
