1937Since birth, and heauen and earth, all three do meete
1943Thy Noble shape, is but a forme of waxe,
1944Digressing from the Valour of a man,
1945Thy deare Loue sworne but hollow periurie,
1947Thy wit, that Ornament, to shape and Loue,
1951And thou dismembred with thine owne defence.
1952What, rowse thee man, thy Iuliet is aliue,
1954There art thou happy. Tybalt would kill thee,
1956The law that threatned death became thy Friend,
1957And turn'd it to exile, there art thou happy.

1969Beg pardon of thy Prince, and call thee backe,
1970With twenty hundred thousand times more ioy
1971Then thou went'st forth in lamentation.
1972Goe before Nurse, commend me to thy Lady,
1974Which heauy sorrow makes them apt vnto.

2032Enter Romeo and Iuliet aloft.
2033Iul. Wilt thou be gone? It is not yet neere day:
2034It was the Nightingale, and not the Larke,
2035That pier'st the fearefull hollow of thine eare,
2037Beleeue me Loue, it was the Nightingale.
2038Rom. It was the Larke the Herauld of the Morne:
2039No Nightingale: looke Loue what enuious streakes
2041Nights Candles are burnt out, and Iocond day
2042Stands tipto on the mistie Mountaines tops,
2044Iul. Yond light is not daylight, I know it I:
2045It is some Meteor that the Sun exhales,
2046To be to thee this night a Torch-bearer,
2047And light thee on thy way to Mantua.
2049Rom. Let me be tane, let me be put to death,
2051Ile say yon gray is not the mornings eye,
2052'Tis but the pale reflexe of Cinthias brow.
2053Nor that is not Larke whose noates do beate
2054The vaulty heauen so high aboue our heads,
2055I haue more care to stay, then will to go:
2056Come death and welcome, Iuliet wills it so.
2058Iuli. It is, it is, hie hence be gone away:
