Alas, that love, so gentle in his view,
Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!

Act I, Scene i

Alas, that love, so gentle in his view,
Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!

Act I, Scene i

My love doth so approve him,
That even his stubbornness, his cheques, his frowns
…have grace and favour in them.

O, by no means….you mistake my love:
I gave it freely ever.

Now, for the love of Love and her soft hours,
Let’s not confound the time with conference harsh:
There’s not a minute of our lives should stretch
Without some pleasure now.

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,
