	JULIET As much to him, else is his thanks too much.	JULIET I’ll give him equal thanks, so we’re even.
25	ROMEO Ah, Juliet, if the measure of thy joy Be heaped like mine, and that thy skill be more To blazon it, then sweeten with thy breath This neighbor air, and let rich music’s tongue Unfold the imagined happiness that both Receive in either by this dear encounter.	ROMEO Ah, Juliet if you’re as happy as I am, and you’re better with words, tell me about the happiness you imagine we’ll have in our marriage.
30	JULIET Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, Brags of his substance, not of ornament. They are but beggars that can count their worth. But my true love is grown to such excess I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth.	JULIET I can imagine more than I can say—I have more on my mind than words. Anyone who can count how much he has is poor. My true love has made me so rich that I can’t count even half of my wealth.
35	FRIAR LAWRENCE Come, come with me, and we will make short work. For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone Till holy church incorporate two in one.	FRIAR LAWRENCE Come, come with me, and we’ll do the job quickly. Because if you don’t mind, I’m not leaving you two alone until you’re united in marriage.
	Exeunt	They exit.
