Act 1 • Scene 3

BENVOLIO: How do you know, Romeo?

You have never compared her to another.

Tonight, look at some of the other girls.

I’ll show you that Rosaline is not

The only girl in Verona.

ROMEO: I’ll go—no such sight to be shown,

But to enjoy the beauty of my own.

(Romeo and Benvolio exit.)

Scene 3

(A room in Capulet’s house. Lady Capulet and Nurse

enter.)

LADY CAPULET: Nurse, where’s my daughter?

Call her.

NURSE: Juliet!

(Juliet enters.)

JULIET: Who wants to see me?

NURSE: Your mother.

JULIET: Mother, I am here. What is your wish?

LADY CAPULET: Nurse, leave us now.

We must talk in secret. No, wait, come back.

You may stay and listen.

You know my daughter’s age.

NURSE: Of course. I can tell her age to the hour.

LADY CAPULET: She’s not 14.
