O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
Do not swear at all;
Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,
Which is the god of my idolatry,
And I’ll believe thee.
–Romeo and Juliet,
Act II, Scene ii
By heaven, I love thee better than myself.
–Romeo and Juliet,
Act V, Scene iii
Love’s heralds should be thoughts,
Which ten times faster glide than the sun’s beams,
Driving back shadows over louring hills.
–Romeo and Juliet,
Act II, Scene v
Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say ‘Ay,’
And I will take thy word: yet if thou swear’st,
Thou mayst prove false…
If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully.
–Romeo and Juliet,
Act II, Scene ii
For stony limits cannot hold love out,
And what love can do that dares love attempt.
–Romeo and Juliet,
Act II, Scene ii
Alas, that love, so gentle in his view,
Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!
–Romeo and Juliet,
Act I, Scene i
This bud of love, by summer’s ripening breath,
May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.
–Romeo and Juliet,
Act II, Scene ii
