Line 143:
=== Act II ===
{{quote|This cannot anger him: 'twould anger him
To raise a spirit in his mistress' circle
Of some strange nature, letting it there stand
Till she had laid it and conjured it down;
That were some spite: my invocation
Is fair and honest, and in his mistress' name
I conjure only to raise up him.
|'''Mercutio,''' Act II, scene i}}
{{quote|But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!
|'''Romeo,''' Act II, scene ii}}
{{quote|O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
|'''Juliet,''' Act II, scene ii}}
{{quote|'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; —
Thou art thyself though, not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose,
By any other name would smell as sweet;<ref>A variant in many published editions reads "By any other word would smell as sweet"</ref>
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title: — Romeo, doff thy name;
And for thy name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.
|'''Juliet,''' Act II, scene ii}}
{{quote|I take thee at thy word:
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptis'd;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
|'''Romeo,''' Act II, scene ii}}
{{quote|O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
|'''Juliet,''' Act II, scene ii}}
{{quote|'''Romeo:''' O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?
'''Juliet:''' What satisfaction canst thou have tonight?
'''Romeo:''' The exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine.
'''Juliet:''' I gave thee mine before thou didst request it:
And yet I would it were to give again.
'''Romeo:''' Wouldst thou withdraw it? for what purpose, love?
'''Juliet:''' But to be frank, and give it thee again.
And yet I wish but for the thing I have;
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
|Act II, Scene ii}}
{{quote|Love goes toward love, as schoolboys from their books,
But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.
|'''Romeo,''' Act II, scene ii}}
{{quote|Good-night, good-night! Parting is such sweet sorrow
That I shall say good-night till it be morrow.
|'''Juliet,''' Act II, scene ii}}
{{quote|The earth, that's nature's mother, is her tomb.
|'''Friar Laurence,''' Act II, scene iii}}
{{quote|For naught so vile that on the earth doth live
But to the earth some special good doth give;
Nor aught so good but, strain'd from that fair use,
Revolts from true birth, stumbling on the abuse:
Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied;
And vice sometimes by action dignified.
|'''Friar Laurence,''' Act II, scene iii}}
{{quote|Then plainly know my heart's dear love is set
On the fair daughter of rich Capulet:
As mine on hers, so hers is set on mine;
And all combin'd, save what thou must combine
By holy marriage: when, and where, and how
We met, we woo'd, and made exchange of vow,
I'll tell thee as we pass; but this I pray,
That thou consent to marry us to-day.
|'''Romeo''' to Friar Laurence, Act II, scene iii}}
{{quote|Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here!
Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear,
So soon forsaken? Young men's love then lies
Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.
|'''Friar Laurence''' to Romeo, Act II, scene iii}}
