• O Romeo, Romeo! – wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.

Juliet | She's sad as romeo is a Montague and she is a capulet

• What’s in a name? That which we call a rose | By any other name would smell as sweet.

Juliet | A name doesn't mean anything you are who you are

• With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls. | For stony limits cannot hold love out.

Romeo | Love makes everything possible.

• My life were better ended by their hate | Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.

Romeo | I'd rather die then not know if she loves me

• Although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract tonight. It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden.

Juliet | To advised to sudden

• Then plainly know my heart’s dear love is set | On the fair daughter of rich Capulet.

Romeo | My heart love the daughter of the rich capulet

• Young men’s love then lies | Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.

Friar Lawrence | Young men see beauty not feel beauty

• For this alliance may so happy prove | To turn your households’ rancour to pure love.

Friar Lawrence | If you marry it may bring two houses together

• Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.

Friar Lawrence | Go slow if you go t fast you will stumble

• Prince of Cats

Mercutio Prince of cats

• Now art thou sociable. Now art thou Romeo

Mercutio Romeo is now sociable

• If ye lead her in a fool’s Paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of Behaviour,

The nurse | If you don't love her

• Then hie you hence to Friar Lawerence’ cell. | There stays a husband to make you a wife.

The nurse | When you go to friar lawerence you will meet your husband

These violent delights have violent ends

Friar | If it starts with violence it will end with violence

Tybalt the reason that I have to love thee Doth much excuse the appertaining rage To such a greeting

Romeo | The reason I have to like tybalt is because of juliet

A plague a both your houses!

Mercutio A curse on both Capulets and montagues

This days black fate on more days doth depend. | This but begins the woe others must end

Romeo | The bad luck of today suggests more bad luck is to follow

Either thou or I or both must go with him

Romeo I or both must go to die with him

Come gentle night. Come loving black browed night Give me my Romeo and when he shall die Take him and cut him out in little stars

Juliet | She wants to see romeo

O serpent heart hid with a flowering face!

Juliet A heart hid by beautiful face

There's no trust | No faith no honesty in men

Nurse | No trust or faith in men

My husband lives, that tybalt would have slain; And tybalts dead, that would have slain my husband All this is comfort

Juliet | My husband would have died if tybalt didn't die

Heaven is here, where Juliet lives

Romeo Heaven is where juliet is

Doth she not think of me an old murderer, Now I have Stained the childhood of our joy, With blood removed but little from her own?

Romeo | Does she think I'm a killer

These times of woe afford no time to woo

Paris No time to woo people in the times of woe

I think she will be ruled in all respects of me

Capulet She will be happy with my decisions

I must be gone and live, or stay and die

Romeo | I must go and live or stay and die

Methinks I see thee, now thou art so low, | As one dead in the bottom of a tomb

Juliet So low of a person with one dead in the tomb

Marry my child, early next Thursday morn The gallant, young, and noble gentleman, The county Paris, at Saint Peters Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride

Lady capulet | To marry Paris and make a joyful bride

Mistress minion you, Thank me no thankings, nor proud me no prouds, But fettle your fine joints against Thursday next To go with Paris to Saint Peters Church,

Capulet | Get ready to go to St. Peter's church with Paris

I long to die | If what thou speakest speak not of remedy

Juliet If your going to speak don't speak of remedy

Henceforward I am ever ruled by you

Juliet I am ruled by you

Death lies on her lips like an untimely frost | Upon the sweetest flower of all the field

Capulet She's out of season but still the the sweetest

Alack my child is dead | And with my child my joys are buried

Capulet My happiness and joys are gone because my child was my happiness and joys and she is dead

All things that we ordainèd festival | Turn from their office to black funeral

Capulet The stuff to be used for the wedding are now being used for a funeral

Your looks are pale and wild and do import some misadventure

Balthasar Some tragic event is about to happen

I sell the poison. Thou hast sold me none

Romeo I get the poison not sell it

The letter was not nice, but full of charge Of dear import; and the neglecting it May do much danger

Laurence Unimportant trival with serious business of importance
