Romeo and juliet summary

ROMEO AND JULIET. ACT 1 SCENE 5   : ROMEO AND JULIET FIRST MEET
   ROM:
If I desecrate with my most unworthy hand
This holy shrine of your hand, the gentle end is this,
My lips, like two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
JUL:
Good pilgrim, you wrong your hand too much,
Which is showing devotion and good manners in this touch;
For saintshave hands that pilgrims' hands touch,
And putting a palm to another palm is a holy pilgrim's kiss.
ROM:
Don’t saints and holy pilgrims have lips too?
JUL:
Yes, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
ROM:
O, then, dear saint, let our lips do what hands do;
They pray, as you said, in case faith should turn to despair.
JUL:
Saints do not move, though they do grant favors forprayers' sake.
ROM:
Then don’t move while I take my prayer's answer.
Thus from my lips, by your lips, my sin is purged.
Kisses her.
JUL:
Then, do my lips have the sin that they have taken from yours?.
ROM:
Sin from my lips? O sin sweetly encouraged!
Give me my sin again.
Kisses her.
JUL:
You kiss by the book.
NURSE:
Madam, your mother craves a word with you.
ROM:
Who isher mother?
NURSE:
By Mary, young man,
Her mother is the lady of the house.
And a good lady, and a wise and virtuous lady.
I nursed her daughter that you talking to;
I tell you, the man that can get her
Shall have loads of ready cash.
ROM:
Is she a Capulet?
O dear account! Now I am in debt to my enemy

Act 2 Scene 2 – Balcony Scene

ROM:
He laughs at the scars of love when he’snever felt love’s pain.
Quiet! what light breaks through that window?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun rising!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the jealous moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That you, her maid, are far more beautiful than she is.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight shames a lamp; hereyes in heaven
Would stream so brightly through the skies
That birds would sing and think it was morning.
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O I wish I were a glove on that hand
So that I might touch that cheek!
JUL:
Ah me!
ROM:
She speaks.
O, speak again, bright angel! for you are
As glorious to this night, that is over my head,
As is a wingéd messenger of heaven
To thewhite, upturned, wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he crosses the slow moving clouds
And sails upon the heart of the wind.
JUL:
O Romeo, Romeo! Why are you “Romeo?”
Deny your father and refuse to be called by your name;
Or, if you won’t, swear you are my love,
And I'll no longer be called a Capulet.
ROM:
Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
JUL:It’s only your name that is my enemy;
You are yourself, not even a Montague.
What's “Montague?” It is not a hand, or a foot,
Or an arm, or a face, or any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
Would smell as sweet if it had any other name.
So Romeo, if he wasn’t called “Romeo,” would
Retain that dear perfection which he has
Withoutthat title. Romeo, throw your name away;
And for that name, which isn’t part of you,
Take all of me.
ROM:
I take you at your word.
Only call me “love,” and I'll be baptized with a new name.
From now on, I’ll never be “Romeo.”
JUL:
What man are you who, wrapped in the cover of night,
Stumbles on my private thoughts?
ROM:
By a name that
I don’t know how to tell you who I am.
Myname, dear saint, is hateful to me
Because it is an enemy to you.
If I had written it down on paper, I would tear the word from the page.

..
ROM:
Let me stand here until you remember.
JUL:
I shall forget just to have you stand there,
Remembering how I love your company.
ROM:
And I'll still stay, to have you still forget,
Forgetting any other home but this one.
JUL:
It is...
