4 Speech Romeo: But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun! Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief That thou her maid art far more fair than she. Be not her maid, since she is envious; Her vestal livery is but sick and green, And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off. It is my lady, O, it is my love! (10) O that she knew she were! She speaks, yet she says nothing; what of that? Her eye discourses, I will answer it. I am too bold: 'tis not to me she speaks. 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 eyes 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 O that I were a glove upon that hand, That I might touch that cheek! Questions: Underline or highlight 3 metaphors. What is this speech about? What is the meaning of the underlined lines? Is this a monologue or a soliloquy? Why? Romeo & Juliet Study Guide 4

5 The Queen Mab Speech O, then, I see Queen Mab hath been with you. Who is Queen Mab? She is the fairies', and she comes In shape no bigger than an On the fore-finger of an, Drawn with a team of little Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep; Her wagon-spokes made of long spiders' legs, The cover of the wings of grasshoppers, The of the smallest spider's web, The collars of the moonshine's watery beams, Her whip of cricket's bone, the lash of film, Her a small grey-coated gnat, Not so big as a round little worm from the lazy finger of a maid; Her chariot is an empty hazel-nut Made by the squirrel or old grub, Time out o' mind the fairies' coachmakers. And in this state she gallops night by night Through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love; O'er knees, that dream on court'sies straight, O'er lawyers' fingers, who straight dream on fees, O'er ladies ' lips, who straight on kisses dream, Which oft the angry Mab with blisters Because their breaths with sweetmeats are: Sometime she gallops o'er a courtier's nose, And then dreams he of smelling out a ; What are some items that make up her wagon? What is Queen Mab s job? What does she do? What do the dreams in the underlined section all have in common? And sometime comes she with a Tickling a nose as a' lies asleep, Then dreams, he of another benefice: Sometime she driveth o'er a soldier's neck, And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats, Of, Spanish blades, Of ; and then anon Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes, And being thus frighted swears a prayer or two And sleeps again. How are the dreams of the soldiers different from the others Mercutio described? Is this a monologue or a soliloquy? Why? Romeo & Juliet Study Guide 5
