These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fore and powder, Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness, And in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore, love moderately. Long love doth so; Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

These violent passions have violent ends and die at their peak like fire and gunpowder, which, meeting, destroy themselves. The sweetest honey is so delicious that is cloys the appetite. Therefore, love in moderation if you want it to endure. In the long run, the hasty arrive no sooner than the slow. If Im profaning a holy shrine with my most unworthy hand, the lesser sin is this: my lips, like two blushing pilgrims, are ready with a tender kiss to smooth away the roughness of my touch. Where are the two enemies, Capulet and Montague? See how your hate is punished: God has found a way to kill your children through love. And I have lost two relatives through turning a blind eye to your quarrels. We are all punished. No, its not as deep as a well or as wide as a church door, but its enough. Itll do. Ask around for me tomorrow, and youll find Im a grave man . . . Damn both your houses! Whats in a name? What we call a rose would smell as sweet, whatever word we used for it. If Romeo werent called Romeo, hed still retain his own dear perfection without his name. Romeo, give up your name and in exchange for that name, which is not part of you, take all of me!

35. If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

36.

Where be these enemies? Capulet, Montague, See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate, That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love. And I, for winking at your discords too, Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punished. No, tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church door, but tis enough, twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man . . . A plague o both you houses!

37.

38. Whats in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for thy name, which is no part of thee, Take all myself.
