8. O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! I pray thee good Mercutio let’s retire/ The day is hot, the Capulets abroad, and if we meet, we shall not ‘scape a brawl I’ll to the Friar to know his remedy. / If all else fail, myself have power to die. And you be mine, I’ll give you to my friend / And you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets. O, I am fortune’s fool! ‘Tis but thy name that is mine enemy. / Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. Earth hath swallowed all my hopes but she; / She is the hopeful lady of my earth, Tybalt, you ratcatcher, will you walk? I think it best you married with the County. / O he’s a lovely gentleman. For this alliance may so happy prove, / To turn your households’ rancour to pure love. Well, peace be with you Sir, here comes my man. Either withdraw unto some private place, / or reason coldly of your grievances, / Or else depart. Then hie you hence to Friar Lawrence’s cell. There stays a husband to make you a wife. Her I love now / Doth grace for grace and love for love allow. Now by the stock and honour of my kin / To strike him dead I hold it not a sin. O, swear not by the moon, th’inconstant moon, / That monthly changes in her circle orb I tell you, he that can lay hold of her / Shall have the chinks. A plague on both your houses! They have made worms’ meat of me. If ever you disturb our streets again / Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace. O, serpent heart, hid with a flow’ring face! / Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast. There is no world without Verona’s walls, / But purgatory, torture, hell itself. Go get thee to thy love, as was decreed, / ascend her chamber, hence and comfort her. See what a scourge is laid upon your hate / That heaven finds means to kill your joy with love. Romeo and Juliet Connect 4 game board 2: quotes
