1u ·No, ’tis not so deep as a well, not so wide as a/church-door; but ’tis enough, ’twill serve. Ask for me/to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man.”
2. “Come, gentle night, come loving, black-brow’d night,/ Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,/ Take him and cut him out in little stars,/ And he will make the face of heaven so fine / That all the world will be in love with night, / And pay no worship to the garish sun.”
3. “More honorable state, more courtship lives/ In carrion-flies than Romeo; they may seize / On the white wonder of dear Juliet’s hand / And steal immortal blessings from her lips … But Romeo may not.”
4. “O God, I have an ill-divining soul!/ Methinks I see thee, now thou art below, I As one dead in the bottom of a tomb. / Either my eyesight fails, or thou look’st pale.”
5. “Talk not to me, for I’ll not speak a word. / Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee.”
