[JULIET appears to a higher place at a window.]
2Merely, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
3It is the eastward, and Juliet is the sun.
ivAscend, off-white sun, and impale the envious moon,
vWho is already sick and stake with grief,
6. her maid: i.e., devotee of Diana, goddess of the moon, and patroness of virgins.
8. Her vestal livery is but sick and greenish: Her chaste uniform is greenish, like the "green-sickness," an anemia that was supposed to occur in single girls, because they were not fruitful.
viThat thou, her maid, art far more than fair than she.
viiExist non her maid, since she is envious;
viiiHer vestal livery is just sick and green
nineAnd none but fools do clothing information technology; cast information technology off.
10Information technology is my lady, O, it is my dear!
11O, that she knew she were!
12She speaks yet she says nothing; what of that?
13Her eye discourses; I volition answer it.
14I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks.
15Ii of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
16Having some business, do entreat her eyes
17. spheres: heavenly positions. Co-ordinate to the astronomy of Shakespeare's time, the stars were fixed in concentric transparent spheres that revolved around the earth.
17To twinkle in their spheres till they render.
18What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
19The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
xxAs daylight doth a lamp; her optics in sky
21. stream: smooth.
21Would through the blusterous region stream and so vivid
22That birds would sing and retrieve it were not night.
23Run across, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
24O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
25That I might touch that cheek!
JULIET
25 Ay me!
ROMEO
25 She speaks!
26O, speak again, vivid angel! for thou art
27As glorious to tonight, beingness o'er my head
28As is a winged messenger of heaven
29Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
xxxOf mortals that autumn back to gaze on him
31When he bestrides the lazy puffing clouds
32And sails upon the bosom of the air.
JULIET
33. wherefore art k Romeo?: why are yous [named] Romeo [Montague]?
33O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
34Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
35Or, if thou wilt not, be merely sworn my beloved,
36And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
ROMEO [Aside.]
37Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
JULIET
38'Tis only thy name that is my enemy;
39. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague: you are yourself, no matter if you are a Montague.
39K art thyself, though not a Montague.
fortyWhat's Montague? information technology is nor manus, nor foot,
41Nor arm, nor face, nor whatsoever other part
42Belonging to a homo. O, exist some other proper name!
43What's in a name? That which we call a rose
44By any other name would odor as sweetness;

52What human being art one thousand that thus bescreen'd in night
53So stumblest on my counsel?

54I know not how to tell thee who I am:
55My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself,
56Because it is an enemy to thee;
57Had I it written, I would tear the discussion.
JULIET
58My ears accept non all the same drunk a hundred words
59Of that tongue's utterance, yet I know the sound:
threescoreArt thousand non Romeo and a Montague?
ROMEO
61. if either thee dislike: if either ["Romeo" or "Montague"] displeases you.
61Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike.
JULIET
62How camest thou here, tell me, and wherefore?

64And the identify decease, considering who thousand fine art,
65If any of my kinsmen find thee here.
ROMEO
66. o'er-perch: fly over.
66With dearest's low-cal wings did I o'er-perch these walls;

76And but thou love me, let them find me here:
77My life were meliorate ended by their hate,
78. decease prorogued, wanting of thy love: decease fatigued out, because of lack of dearest from you lot.
78Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.
JULIET
79Past whose direction establish'st thou out this place?
ROMEO
80Past love, who start did prompt me to enquire;
81. He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes: he [love] gave me inspiration and I gave him [love] sight.
81He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes.
82I am no pilot; notwithstanding, wert 1000 as far
83As that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea,
84. I would adventure for such merchandise: I would have every risk for such a precious prize.
84I would take a chance for such merchandise.
