ROMEO
Out of her favour, where I am in love. BENVOLIO
Alas, that love, so gentle in his view, Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof! ROMEO
Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still, Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will! Where shall we
dine? O me! What fray was here? Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all. Here's much to do with hate, but
more with love. Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing, of nothing first create! O heavy
lightness! serious vanity! Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms! Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold
fire, sick health! Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this. Dost thou
not laugh? BENVOLIO
No, coz, I rather weep. ROMEO
Good heart, at what? BENVOLIO
At thy good heart's oppression. ROMEO
Why, such is love's transgression. Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast, Which thou wilt propagate,
to have it prest With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown Doth add more grief to too much of
mine own. Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; Being
vex'd a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears: What is it else? a madness most discreet, A choking gall and a
preserving sweet. Farewell, my coz. BENVOLIO
Soft! I will go along; An if you leave me so, you do me wrong. ROMEO
Tut, I have lost myself; I am not here; This is not Romeo, he's some other where. BENVOLIO
Tell me in sadness, who is that you love. ROMEO
What, shall I groan and tell thee? BENVOLIO
Groan! why, no. But sadly tell me who.
