Romeo And Juliet (Shakespeare Classics) by William Shakespeare

Act 2 • Scene 2
By her high forehead and her red lips,
By her fine feet and straight legs,
I summon you to appear to us!
BENVOLIO (laughing): If he hears you, you will
anger him.
MERCUTIO: This cannot anger him.
My spell is fair and honest.
I used Rosaline’s name to get his attention.
BENVOLIO: He has hid himself among these trees,
So he can be alone with the night.
His blind love sees best in the dark.
MERCUTIO: If love is blind, it cannot hit the mark.
He might be sitting under a fruit tree,
Wishing his love were that kind of fruit.
(calling to Romeo): Romeo, good night.
It’s too cold in this field for me to sleep.
Come, shall we go?
BENVOLIO: Let’s go, then.
It is foolish to seek him here.
He doesn’t want to be found.
(Benvolio and Mercutio exit.)
Scene 2
(Capulet’s orchard. Romeo enters.)
ROMEO: Mercutio laughs at love’s scars,
But he has never felt a wound.
