748Rom. Can I goe forward when my heart is here?

749Turne backe dull earth, and find thy Center out.

751Ben. Romeo, my Cozen Romeo, Romeo.

752Merc. He is wise,

753And on my life hath stolne him home to bed.

754Ben. He ran this way and leapt this Orchard wall.

755Call good Mercutio:

756Nay, Ile coniure too.

The Tragedie of Romeo and Iuliet.59

757Mer. Romeo, Humours, Madman, Passion, Louer,

758Appeare thou in the likenesse of a sigh,

759Speake but one rime, and I am satisfied:

760Cry me but ay me, Prouant, but Loue and day,

761Speake to my goship Venus one faire word,

762One Nickname for her purblind Sonne and her,

763Young Abraham Cupid he that shot so true,

764When King Cophetua lou'd the begger Maid,

765He heareth not, he stirreth not, he moueth not,

766The Ape is dead, I must coniure him,

767I coniure thee by Rosalines bright eyes,

768By her High forehead, and her Scarlet lip,

769By her Fine foote, Straight leg, and Quiuering thigh,

770And the Demeanes, that there Adiacent lie,

771That in thy likenesse thou appeare to vs.

772Ben. And if he heare thee thou wilt anger him.

773Mer. This cannot anger him, t'would anger him

774To raise a spirit in his Mistresse circle,

775Of some strange nature, letting it stand

776Till she had laid it, and coniured it downe,

777That were some spight.

778My inuocation is faire and honest, & in his Mistris name,

779I coniure onely but to raise vp him.

780Ben. Come, he hath hid himselfe among these Trees

781To be consorted with the Humerous night:

782Blind is his Loue, and best befits the darke.

783Mer. If Loue be blind, Loue cannot hit the marke,

784Now will he sit vnder a Medler tree,

785And wish his Mistresse were that kind of Fruite,

786As Maides call Medlers when they laugh alone,

787O Romeo that she were, O that she were

788An open, or thou a Poprin Peare,

789Romeo goodnight, Ile to my Truckle bed,

790This Field-bed is to cold for me to sleepe,

791Come shall we go?

792Ben. Go then, for 'tis in vaine to seeke him here

793That meanes not to be found. Exeunt.
