ROMEO AND JULIET
THE PROLOGUE
Enter Chorus。
Chor。 Two households； both alike in dignity； In fair Verona； where we
lay our scene； From ancient grudge break to new mutiny； Where civil
blood makes civil hands unclean。 From forth the fatal loins of these two
foes A pair of star…cross'd lovers take their life； Whose misadventur'd
piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents' strife。 The
fearful passage of their death…mark'd love； And the continuance of their
parents' rage； Which； but their children's end； naught could remove； Is now
the two hours' traffic of our stage； The which if you with patient ears
attend； What here shall miss； our toil shall strive to mend。 ＇Exit。＇

ROMEO AND JULIET
SCENE I。 Verona。 A public place。
Enter Sampson and Gregory （with swords and bucklers） of the house
of Capulet。
Samp。 Gregory； on my word； we'll not carry coals。 Greg。 No； for then
we should be colliers。 Samp。 I mean； an we be in choler； we'll draw。 Greg。
Ay； while you live； draw your neck out of collar。 Samp。 I strike quickly；
being moved。 Greg。 But thou art not quickly moved to strike。 Samp。 A dog
of the house of Montague moves me。 Greg。 To move is to stir； and to be
valiant is to stand。 Therefore； if thou art moved； thou runn'st away。 Samp。
A dog of that house shall move me to stand。 I will take the wall of any
man or maid of Montague's。 Greg。 That shows thee a weak slave； for the
weakest goes to the wall。 Samp。 'Tis true； and therefore women； being the
weaker vessels； are ever thrust to the wall。 Therefore I will push
Montague's men from the wall and thrust his maids to the wall。 Greg。 The
quarrel is between our masters and us their men。 Samp。 'Tis all one。 I will
show myself a tyrant。 When I have fought with the men； I will be cruel
with the maids… I will cut off their heads。 Greg。 The heads of the maids？
Samp。 Ay； the heads of the maids； or their maidenheads。 Take it in what
sense thou wilt。 Greg。 They must take it in sense that feel it。 Samp。 Me
they shall feel while I am able to stand； and 'tis known I am a pretty piece
of flesh。 Greg。 'Tis well thou art not fish； if thou hadst； thou hadst been
poor…John。 Draw thy tool！ Here comes two of the house of Montagues。
Enter two other Servingmen ＇Abram and Balthasar＇。
Samp。 My naked weapon is out。 Quarrel！ I will back thee。 Greg。 How？
turn thy back and run？ Samp。 Fear me not。 Greg。 No； marry。 I fear thee！
Samp。 Let us take the law of our sides； let them begin。 Greg。 I will frown
as I pass by； and let them take it as they list。 Samp。 Nay； as they dare。 I
will bite my thumb at them； which is disgrace to them； if they bear it。 Abr。
Do you bite your thumb at us； sir？ Samp。 I do bite my thumb； sir。 Abr。 Do
you bite your thumb at us； sir？ Samp。 ＇aside to Gregory＇ Is the law of our
side if I say ay？ Greg。 ＇aside to Sampson＇ No。 Samp。 No； sir； I do not bite
my thumb at you； sir； but I bite my thumb； sir。 Greg。 Do you quarrel； sir？
Abr。 Quarrel； sir？ No； sir。 Samp。 But if you do； sir； am for you。 I serve as

good a man as you。 Abr。 No better。 Samp。 Well； sir。
Enter Benvolio。
Greg。 ＇aside to Sampson＇ Say 'better。' Here comes one of my master's
kinsmen。 Samp。 Yes； better； sir。 Abr。 You lie。 Samp。 Draw； if you be men。
Gregory； remember thy swashing blow。 They fight。 Ben。 Part； fools！
＇Beats down their swords。＇ Put up your swords。 You know not what you
do。
Enter Tybalt。
Tyb。 What； art thou drawn among these heartless hinds？ Turn thee
Benvolio！ look upon thy death。 Ben。 I do but keep the peace。 Put up thy
sword； Or manage it to part these men with me。 Tyb。 What； drawn； and
talk of peace？ I hate the word As I hate hell； all Montagues； and thee。
Have at thee； coward！ They fight。
Enter an officer； and three or four Citizens with clubs or partisans。
Officer。 Clubs； bills； and partisans！ Strike！ beat them down！ Citizens。
Down with the Capulets！ Down with the Montagues！
Enter Old Capulet in his gown； and his Wife。
Cap。 What noise is this？ Give me my long sword； ho！ Wife。 A crutch；
a crutch！ Why call you for a sword？ Cap。 My sword； I say！ Old Montague
is come And flourishes his blade in spite of me。
Enter Old Montague and his Wife。
Mon。 Thou villain Capulet！… Hold me not； let me go。 M。 Wife。 Thou
shalt not stir one foot to seek a foe。
Enter Prince Escalus； with his Train。
Prince。 Rebellious subjects； enemies to peace； Profaners of this
neighbour…stained steel… Will they not hear？ What； ho！ you men； you
beasts； That quench the fire of your pernicious rage With purple fountains
issuing from your veins！ On pain of torture； from those bloody hands
Throw your mistempered weapons to the ground And hear the sentence of
your moved prince。 Three civil brawls； bred of an airy word By thee； old
Capulet； and Montague； Have thrice disturb'd the quiet of our streets And
made Verona's ancient citizens Cast by their grave beseeming ornaments
To wield old partisans； in hands as old； Cank'red with peace； to part your
cank'red hate。 If ever you disturb our streets again； Your lives shall pay the

forfeit of the peace。 For this time all the rest depart away。 You； Capulet；
shall go along with me； And； Montague； come you this afternoon； To
know our farther pleasure in this case； To old Freetown； our common
judgment place。 Once more； on pain of death； all men depart。 Exeunt ＇all
but Montague； his Wife； and Benvolio＇。 Mon。 Who set this ancient quarrel
new abroach？ Speak； nephew； were you by when it began？ Ben。 Here
were the servants of your adversary And yours； close fighting ere I did
approach。 I drew to part them。 In the instant came The fiery Tybalt； with
his sword prepar'd； Which； as he breath'd defiance to my ears； He swung
about his head and cut the winds； Who； nothing hurt withal； hiss'd him in
scorn。 While we were interchanging thrusts and blows； Came more and
more； and fought on part and part； Till the Prince came； who parted either
part。 M。 Wife。 O； where is Romeo？ Saw you him to…day？ Right glad I am
he was not at this fray。 Ben。 Madam； an hour before the worshipp'd sun
Peer'd forth the golden window of the East； A troubled mind drave me to
walk abroad； Where； underneath the grove of sycamore That westward
rooteth from the city's side； So early walking did I see your son。 Towards
him I made； but he was ware of me And stole into the covert of the wood。
I… measuring his affections by my own； Which then most sought where
most might not be found； Being one too many by my weary self… Pursu'd
my humour； not Pursuing his； And gladly shunn'd who gladly fled from
me。 Mon。 Many a morning hath he there been seen； With tears augmenting
the fresh morning's dew； Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs；
But all so soon as the all…cheering sun Should in the farthest East bean to
draw The shady curtains from Aurora's bed； Away from light steals home
my heavy son And private in his chamber pens himself； Shuts up his
windows； locks fair daylight And makes himself an artificial night。 Black
and portentous must this humour prove Unless good counsel may the
cause remove。 Ben。 My noble uncle； do you know the cause？ Mon。 I
neither know it nor can learn of him Ben。 Have you importun'd him by any
means？ Mon。 Both by myself and many other friend； But he； his own
affections' counsellor； Is to himself… I will not say how true… But to himself
so secret and so close； So far from sounding and discovery； As is the bud
bit with an envious worm Ere he can spr
