What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, As daylight doth a lamp her eyes in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night. I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks: Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return. Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged. ROMEO Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take. JULIET Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake. ROMEO O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair. It is my lady, O, it is my love! O, that she knew she were! She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that? Her eye discourses I will answer it. JULIET Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. Great for engaging students with Shakespeare and proving its FUN Perfect for students studying Romeo and Juliet at GCSE. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she: Be not her maid, since she is envious Her vestal livery is but sick and green And none but fools do wear it cast it off.

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Genre: Tragedy Keywords: 16th century literature, british literature, drama, romance, tragedy.
