That's a nice group of people. Where are they supposed to
come?
PETER

Up.
PETER
Up.
ROMEO
Whither? To supper?
ROMEO
Where? To supper?
PETER
To our house.
PETER
To our house.
ROMEO
Whose house?
ROMEO
Whose house?
PETER
My master's.
PETER
My master's house.
ROMEO
80
Indeed, I should have asked thee that before.
ROMEO
Indeed, I should have asked you before who he was.
PETER
Now I'll tell you without asking. My master is the great
rich
Capulet, and if you be not of the house of Montagues, I pray
come and crush a cup of wine. Rest you merry!
PETER
Now I'll tell you so you don't have to ask. My
master is the great and rich Capulet, and if you don't
belong to the house of Montague, please come and drink a cup of
wine. Have a nice day!
Exit PETER
PETER exits.
BENVOLIO
At this same ancient feast of Capulet's
85
Sups the fair Rosaline whom thou so loves
With all the admired beauties of Verona.
Go thither, and with unattainted eye
Compare her face with some that I shall show,
And I will make thee think thy swan a crow.
BENVOLIO
The beautiful Rosaline whom you love so much will be at
Capulet's traditional feast, along with every beautiful
woman in Verona. Go there and compare her objectively to some other
girls I'll show you. The woman who you think is as
beautiful as a swan is going to look as ugly as a crow to
you.
ROMEO
90
When the devout religion of mine eye
Maintains such falsehood, then turn tears to fires,
And these, who, often drowned, could never die,
Transparent heretics, be burnt for liars!
One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun
95
Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun.
ROMEO
If my eyes ever lie to me like that, let my tears turn into flames
and burn them for being such obvious liars! A woman more beautiful
than the one I love? The sun itself has never seen anyone as
beautiful since the world began.
