But He that hath the steerage② of my course
Direct my sail! On, lusty gentlemen.

Will now deny to dance? She that makes dainty③.
She I'll swear hath corns: am I come near ye now?
Welcome, gentlemen! I have seen the day
That I have worn a visor and could tell
A whispering tale in a fair lady's ear
Such as would please: 'tis gone,
'tis gone,'tis gone.
You are welcome, gentlemen!
Come, musicians, play.
A hall, a hall! Give room. And foot it, girls.
[Music plays and they dance.] More light, you

And quench the fire - the room is grown too hot.

Romeo and Jufiet
Nay sit, nay sit, good cousin Capulet.
For you and I are past our dancing days.
How long is't now since last yourself and I
Were in a masque?
Second Capulet By'r Lady, thirty years.
Capulet What, man! 'tis not so much, 'tis not so much:
'Tis since the nuptial{① of Lucentio.
Come Pentecost②} as quickly as it will,
Some five and twenty years, and then we masqued.
Second Capulet 'Tis more, 'tis more: his son is elder, sir
His son is thirty.
Capulet Will you tell me that?
His son was but a ward{③} two years ago.
Romeo
[to a servingman] What lady's that which doth enrich④
the hand of yonder{knight?
Servingman
I know not, sir.
Romeo
O she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
As a rich jewel in an Ethiop^{}s ear -
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shows a snowy dove trooping{} with crows,
As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand.
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

Fetch me my rapier^①}, boy. [His page②} goes.]
What dares the slave
Come hither, covered with an antic{③} face.
To fleer} and scorn at our solemnity?
Now, by the stock and honour of my kin.
To strike him dead I hold it not a sin

Why, how now, kinsman! wherefore storm you so?
Tybalt Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe:
A villain that is hither come in spite^{,
To scorn at our solemnity this night
Capulet
Young Romeo is it?
Tybalt 'Tis he, that villain Romeo.
Capulet
Content^{} thee, gentle coz, let him alone,
'A bears him like a portly{} gentleman:
And, to say truth, Verona brags^{②} of him
To be a virtuous and well-governed youth.
I would not for the wealth of all this town
Here in my house do him disparagement^{*}:
Therefore be patient, take no note of him.
It is my will, the which if thou respect,
Show a fair presence and put off these frowns.
An ill-beseeming semblance^{① for a feast
Tybalt It fits when such a villain is a guest:
I'll not endure him.
Capulet
He shall be endured
What,
goodman boy? I say he shall. Go to.
