Montague

As is the bud bit with an envious worm
Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air
Or dedicate his beauty to the sun.
Could we but learn from whence his sorrows grow,
We would as willingly give cure as know.

Benvolio

Madam, an hour before the worshipped sun
Peered forth the golden window of the east,
A troubled mind drive me to walk abroad,
Where, underneath the grove of sycamore
That westward rooteth from this city side,
So early walking did I see your son.

Officer

Clubs, bills, and partisans! Strike; beat them down!
Down with the Capulets! Down with the Montagues!

Capulet

What noise is this? Give me my long sword, ho!

Sampson

Me they shall feel while I am able to stand; and
'tis known I am a pretty piece of flesh.

Gregory

'Tis well thou art not fish. If thou hadst, thou
hadst been Poor John — Draw thy tool! Here comes

Sampson

True, and therefore women, being the weaker vessels,
are ever thrust to the wall. Therefore I will push
Montague's men from the wall, and thrust his maids
to the wall.
