omeoWhose house?ServantMy master’s.RomeoIndeed, I should have ask’d you that before.ServantNow I’ll tell you without asking. My master is the great80 rich Capulet; and if you be not of the house ofMontagues, I pray, come and crush a cup of wine.Rest you merry! [Exit.]BenvolioAt this same ancient feast of Capulet’sSups the fair Rosaline whom thou so loves,85 With all the admired beauties of Verona.Go thither; and with unattainted eyeCompare her face with some that I shall show,And I will make thee think thy swan a crow.romeoWhen the devout religion of mine eye90 Maintains such falsehood, then turn tears to fires;And these, who, often drown’d, could never die,Transparent heretics, be burnt for liars!One fairer than my love! The all-seeing sunNe’er saw her match since first the world begun.Benvolio95 Tut, you saw her fair, none else being by,Herself pois’d with herself in either eye;But in that crystal scales let there be weigh’dYour lady’s love against some other maidThat I will show you shining at this feast,100 And she shall scant show well that now seems best.RomeoI’ll go along no such sight to be shown,But to rejoice in splendour of mine own.
