[ROMEO comes out of hiding.]
ROMEO
1. He jests at scars that never felt a wound: Romeo says Mercutio tin can jest about dear considering he'southward never been in love. 
1He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
[JULIET appears to a higher place at a window.]
twoBut, soft! what calorie-free through yonder window breaks?
3It is the due east, and Juliet is the sun.
ivArise, fair lord's day, and impale the envious moon,
5Who is already sick and pale with grief,
6. her maid: i.eastward., devotee of Diana, goddess of the moon, and patroness of virgins.
eight. Her vestal livery is only sick and green: Her celibate compatible is green, similar the "light-green-sickness," an anemia that was supposed to occur in single girls, because they were not fruitful.
6That grand, her maid, art far more than fair than she.
7Be not her maid, since she is envious;
8Her vestal livery is but sick and light-green
ixAnd none but fools practise article of clothing it; bandage it off.
10It is my lady, O, it is my honey!
11O, that she knew she were!
12She speaks even so she says cipher; what of that?
thirteenHer eye discourses; I will respond it.
xivI am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks.
15Two of the fairest stars in all the sky,
16Having some business organisation, do entreat her eyes
17. spheres: heavenly positions. According to the astronomy of Shakespeare'south fourth dimension, the stars were stock-still in concentric transparent spheres that revolved effectually the earth.
17To twinkle in their spheres till they render.
18What if her optics were there, they in her head?
19The effulgence of her cheek would shame those stars,
20Every bit daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
21. stream: smooth.
21Would through the airy region stream so bright
22That birds would sing and think it were non night.
23Run into, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
24O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
25That I might touch on that cheek!
JULIET
25 Ay me!
ROMEO
25 She speaks!
26O, speak once more, bright angel! for thou art
27As glorious to this evening, beingness o'er my head
28As is a winged messenger of heaven
29Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
thirtyOf mortals that fall back to gaze on him
31When he bestrides the lazy puffing clouds
32And sails upon the bust of the air.
JULIET
33. wherefore art g Romeo?: why are y'all [named] Romeo [Montague]?
33O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
34Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
35Or, if thou wilt not, be only sworn my love,
36And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
ROMEO [Aside.]
37Shall I hear more than, or shall I speak at this?
JULIET
38'Tis but thy proper name that is my enemy;
39. Thou fine art thyself, though not a Montague: yous are yourself, no matter if yous are a Montague.
39Thou art thyself, though non a Montague.
fortyWhat'due south Montague? information technology is nor hand, nor foot,
41Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
42Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
43What's in a name? That which we telephone call a rose
44By any other name would smell as sugariness;
45So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
46. owes: owns.
47. doff: shed.
46Retain that dear perfection which he owes
47Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
48And for that proper name which is no office of thee
49Accept all myself.

fiftyCall me but beloved, and I'll exist new baptized;
51Henceforth I never will exist Romeo.
JULIET
52. bescreen'd: subconscious, every bit behind a screen.
53. my counsel: my conversation with myself.
52What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night
53So stumblest on my counsel?
ROMEO
53 By a proper name
54I know non how to tell thee who I am:
55My name, dear saint, is mean to myself,
56Because information technology is an enemy to thee;
57Had I it written, I would tear the discussion.
JULIET
58My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words
59Of that natural language's utterance, yet I know the sound:
60Art g not Romeo and a Montague?
ROMEO
61. if either thee dislike: if either ["Romeo" or "Montague"] displeases y'all.
61Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike.
JULIET
62How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?
63The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,
64And the place decease, considering who g fine art,
65If any of my kinsmen find thee here.
ROMEO
66. o'er-perch: wing over.
66With love's calorie-free wings did I o'er-perch these walls;
67For stony limits cannot concur love out,
68And what love can practise, that dares love attempt;
69Therefore thy kinsmen are no end to me.
JULIET
70If they do run across thee, they will murder thee.
ROMEO
71-72. in that location . . . swords!: In the love poetry of Shakespeare'south time, it was oft said that a disdainful look from the beloved lady could kill the homo who loved her.
73. proof confronting: invulnerable to.
71Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye
72Than twenty of their swords! Expect grand simply sweet,
73And I am proof confronting their enmity.
JULIET
74I would not for the world they saw thee here.
ROMEO
75I have night'southward cloak to hide me from their sight;
76And but thou love me, permit them find me here:
77My life were better concluded by their hate,
78. death prorogued, wanting of thy honey: expiry drawn out, considering of lack of beloved from you.
78Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.
JULIET
79By whose direction institute'st g out this identify?
ROMEO
80By dearest, who first did prompt me to inquire;
81. He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes: he [love] gave me inspiration and I gave him [honey] sight.
81He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes.
82I am no airplane pilot; all the same, wert m every bit far
83Equally that vast shore wash'd with the farthest body of water,
84. I would adventure for such trade: I would take every take a chance for such a precious prize.
84I would adventure for such merchandise.
JULIET
85K know'st the mask of night is on my face,
86Else would a maiden chroma bepaint my cheek
87For that which chiliad hast heard me speak tonight.
88. Fain: gladly. dwell on form: stay within the limits of the formalities [of courting]. 89.compliment: convention—the expected substitution of compliments.

xcDost thou love me? I know g wilt say "Ay,"

92. Thousand mayst prove imitation: you may testify to be untrue [to your vow of love]. 92-93. at lovers' perjuries . . . Jove laughs: they say Jove laughs at lovers' lies.
91And I volition have thy word; nevertheless if thou swear'st,
92Thousand mayst testify imitation; at lovers' perjuries
93They say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,
94If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully;
95Or if yard recollect'st I am too apace won,
96I'll frown and exist perverse, and say thee nay,
97. Then yard wilt woo: i.e., and so you lot will woo me.
98. fond: foolish, innocent, impulsive.
99. lite: wanton, flirtatious.
97So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world.
98In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond,
99And therefore thou mayst think my behavior calorie-free,
100Just trust me, gentleman, I'll bear witness more true
101. those that have more coying to be foreign: those who have more skill at coquetry playact standoffishness to seem more desirable. 102.should have: would have. 103.ere I was ware: earlier I was aware [of your presence].
101Than those that take more coying to exist strange.
102I should have been more strange, I must confess,

104My true love'south passion; therefore pardon me,
105And non impute this yielding to light love,
106. discovered: uncovered, revealed.

108That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops—

110That monthly changes in her circled orb,
111Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
ROMEO

121This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath,
122May bear witness a beauteous bloom when next we meet.
123Good night, skillful nighttime! equally sweetness repose and residuum
124Come to thy heart as that within my breast!
