Act 1 Quotes Identify the speaker. Part, fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do. What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee If ever you disturb our streets again, Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace. Compare her face with some that I shall show, And I will make thee think thy swan a crow. 'Yea,' quoth he, 'dost thou fall upon thy face? Thou wilt fall backward when thou hast more wit; Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days. If love be rough with you, be rough with love; Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down. O, then, I see Queen Mab hath been with you. I fear, too early: for my mind misgives Some consequence yet hanging in the stars Shall bitterly begin his fearful date With this night's revels and expire the term Of a despised life closed in my breast By some vile forfeit of untimely death. O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows Now, by the stock and honour of my kin, To strike him dead, I hold it not a sin. Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone; He bears him like a portly gentleman; And, to say truth, Verona brags of him O dear account! my life is my foe's debt. My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me, That I must love a loathed enemy.
Act 2 Quotes Identify the speaker. I conjure thee by Rosaline's bright eyes, By her high forehead and her scarlet lip, By her fine foot, straight leg and quivering thigh And the demesnes that there adjacent lie, But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon Love goes toward love, as schoolboys from their books, But love from love, toward school with heavy looks. Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied; And vice sometimes by action dignified. Then plainly know my heart's dear love is set On the fair daughter of rich Capulet: In one respect I'll thy assistant be; For this alliance may so happy prove, To turn your households' rancour to pure love. now art thou sociable, now art thou Romeo; now art thou what thou art, by art as well as by nature Farewell, ancient lady; farewell, if ye should lead her into a fool's paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of behavior, as they say: for the gentlewoman is young; and, therefore, if you should deal double with her, truly it were an ill thing to be offered to any gentlewoman, and very weak dealing. These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume
Act 3 Quotes Identify the speaker. By my head, here come the Capulets. By my heel, I care not. And but one word with one of us? couple it with something; make it a word and a blow. Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford No better term than this,--thou art a villain. I do protest, I never injured thee, But love thee better than thou canst devise, Till thou shalt know the reason of my love. A plague o' both your houses! Why the devil came you between us? I was hurt under your arm. Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him. O, I am fortune's fool! I beg for justice, which thou, prince, must give; Romeo slew Tybalt, Romeo must not live. And for that offence Immediately we do exile him hence There is no world without Verona walls, But purgatory, torture, hell itself. there are thou happy I think she will be ruled In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not. Hang thee, young baggage! disobedient wretch! An you be mine, I'll give you to my friend; And you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee, Talk not to me, for I'll not speak a word: Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee. Romeo's a dishclout to him
Act 4 Quotes Identify the speaker. O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris, From off the battlements of yonder tower; How if, when I am laid into the tomb, I wake before the time that Romeo Come to redeem me? there's a fearful point! O me, O me! My child, my only life, Revive, look up, or I will die with thee! Death lies on her like an untimely frost Upon the sweetest flower of all the field. O woe! O woful, woful, woful day! Most lamentable day, most woful day, Beguiled, divorced, wronged, spited, slain! Act 5 Quotes Identify the speaker. O, pardon me for bringing these ill news, Since you did leave it for my office, sir. Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee to-night. Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man; Put not another sin upon my head, By urging me to fury: O, be gone! Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath, Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty: For fear of that, I still will stay with thee; And never from this palace of dim night Depart again: here, here will I remain With worms that are thy chamber-maids; Thy lips are warm. See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate, That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love. For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
