PROLOGUE. _Enter_ Chorus.[393] _Chor._ Now old desire doth in his death-bed lie,[394] And young affection gapes to be his heir; That fair for which love groan'd for and would die,[395] With tender Juliet match'd, is now not fair.[396] Now Romeo is beloved and loves again, 5 Alike bewitched by the charm of looks, But to his foe supposed he must complain, And she steal love's sweet bait from fearful hooks: Being held a foe, he may not have access To breathe such vows as lovers use to swear; 10 And she as much in love, her means much less To meet her new beloved any where: But passion lends them power, time means, to meet, Tempering extremities with extreme sweet.[397] [_Exit._ SCENE I. _A lane by the wall of Capulet's orchard._[398] _Enter_ ROMEO, _alone_. _Rom._ Can I go forward when my heart is here? Turn back, dull earth, and find thy centre out. [_He climbs the wall, and leaps down within it._ _Enter_ BENVOLIO _with_ MERCUTIO. _Ben._ Romeo! my cousin Romeo![399] _Mer._ He is wise;[400][401] And, on my life, hath stol'n him home to bed.[401] _Ben._ He ran this way, and leap'd this orchard wall: 5 Call, good Mercutio. _Mer._ Nay, I'll conjure too.[402] Romeo! humours! madman! passion! lover![403] Appear thou in the likeness of a sigh:[404] Speak but one rhyme, and I am satisfied;[405] Cry but 'ay me!' pronounce but 'love' and 'dove;'[406] 10 Speak to my gossip Venus one fair word,[407] One nick-name for her purblind son and heir,[408] Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim[409][410] When King Cophetua loved the beggar-maid![410] He heareth not, he stirreth not, he moveth not;[411] 15 The ape is dead, and I must conjure him.[412] I conjure thee by Rosaline's bright eyes,[413] By her high forehead and her scarlet lip, By her fine foot, straight leg and quivering thigh, And the demesnes that there adjacent lie, 20 That in thy likeness thou appear to us! _Ben._ An if he hear thee, thou wilt anger him.[414]
