Text 6
- Juliet
- Hist! Romeo, hist! O for a falconer’s voice
- To lure this tassel-gentle back again!
- Bondage is hoarse and may not speak aloud;
- Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies,
- And make her airy tongue more hoarse than mine
- With repetition of my Romeo’s name.
- Romeo!
- Romeo
- It is my soul that calls upon my name.
- How silver-sweet sound lovers’ tongues by night,
- Like softest music to attending ears!
- Juliet
- Romeo!
- Romeo
- My niesse?
- Juliet
- At what o’clock to-morrow
- Shall I send to thee?
- Romeo
- By the hour of nine.
- Juliet
- I will not fail. ‘Tis twenty years till then.
- I have forgot why I did call thee back.
- Romeo
- Let me stand here till thou remember it.
- Juliet
- I shall forget, to have thee still stand there,
- Rememb’ring how I love thy company.
- Romeo
- And I’ll still stay, to have thee still forget,
- Forgetting any other home but this.
- Juliet
- ‘Tis almost morning. I would have thee gone –
- And yet no farther than a wanton’s bird,
- That lets it hop a little from her hand,
- Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,
- And with a silk thread plucks it back again,
- So loving-jealous of his liberty.
- Romeo
- I would I were thy bird.
- Juliet
- Sweet, so would I.
- Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.
- Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
- That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
