Romeo's Soliloquy
One more part I really like...
Romeo.
But soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!--
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.--
It is my lady; O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!--
She speaks, yet she says nothing: what of that?
Her eye discourses, I will answer it.--
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.--
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!
Romeo.

Jac, I can't remember where I read it, but I think it might be in Romeo and Juliet. The poet wishes he were a tear in the eye of the one he loved, that he may fall on her cheek. Can you place it?
And try this one from William Wordsworth, I think it's beautiful.
She dwelt among the untrodden ways
She dwelt among the untr

00 he seems to be implying that Juliet (being a virgin) should throw off the clothes of maidenhood and essentially have *** with him. 02 br

00 he is saying something to the effect of "Virginity really is NOT as good as you think Juliet so
