Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars As daylight doth a lamp.
Her eye in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night. See how she leans her cheek upon her hand. Oh, that I were a glove upon that hand That I might touch that cheek! Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear. Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! The clock struck nine when I did send the Nurse. In half an hour she promised to return.
Perchance she cannot meet him. Oh, she is lame! Therefore do nimble-pinioned doves draw love And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings. Had she affections and warm youthful blood, She would be as swift in motion as a ball. My words would bandy her to my sweet love, And his to me. But old folks, many feign as they were dead, Unwieldy, slow, heavy, and pale as lead.
O God, she comes. Hast thou met with him? Send thy man away. Such a wagoner As Phaeton would whip you to the west And bring in cloudy night immediately. Lovers can see to do their amorous rites By their own beauties, or, if love be blind, It best agrees with night. Come, civil night, Thou sober-suited matron, all in black, And learn me how to lose a winning match Played for a pair of stainless maidenhoods.
Hood my unmanned blood bating in my cheeks, With thy black mantle, till strange love, grow bold, Think true love acted simple modesty. 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 word would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title.
Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name, which is no part of thee Take all myself. From Romeo and Juliet -Juliet speaks her thoughts aloud just before she drinks the potion that will make her appear to be dead: Come, vial. Shall I be married then tomorrow morning?
No, no. This shall forbid it. Lie thou there. I fear it is. What light through yonder window breaks? However, did you realize that it is the beginning of a famous soliloquy in Romeo and Juliet? A soliloquy is a famous speech a character in a play makes to give readers and viewers an idea of their inner thoughts. These speeches are typically made while they are alone.
And he did it in poetic verse. Now that is talent. Since first spying her at the ball, Romeo has been yearning to see Juliet. And, he finally does. You get a glimpse into his admiration and love for Juliet through comparing Juliet to the sun and her eyes to stars.
Romeo is full of soliloquies, but in Act 3, Scene 2 , Juliet shows us how she feels. Juliet is impatient to see Romeo! Therefore, the day is dragging on. And you see here fears come to life as she weighs the different pros and cons. However, in the end, she decides Romeo is worth it. Drinking the potion, she falls to her bed.
