7 Romeo: If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. Juliet: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this, For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss. (They talk...) Juliet: Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake. Romeo: Then move not, while my prayer’s effect I take. (Kisses her) Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged.
