■ Re-enter J u l i e t .
J ulikt,— H ist! Romeo, hist! Oh, for a falconer's voice,
To lure this tassel gentle back again !
Bondage is hoar.se, and may not speak aioud;
El St? would he fear the cave where Echo lies,
And make her airy tongue more hoarse than mine,
With repetition of my Romeo’s name,
Romeo entering.
R omeo,— Tt is my love that calls upon my name !
How silver-sweet sound lovers' tongues by night.
Like softest music to at Lending ears 1
Ju[Jet.— ■Romeo !
RO M eo .— M y sweet ■
Juliet.— A t what o'clock to-morrow
Shall I send to thee?
R omeo.— A t the hour of nine.
J u l i e t . — T will not fail: 'tis twenty years till then.
I have forgot why i did call thee back,
R omeo,— Let me stand here till thou remember it.
Juliet.— -I shall forgot, to have thee'still stand there,
Rememb’ring how I love 'hy company.
R om eo,— And I ’ll .still stay, to have thee stilt forget,
Forgetting any other home but this.
J u l i e t ,— 'Tis a lm o st m orn in g; T w o u ld h a v e thee gone,
And y e t no further than a w an ton 's bird;
W ho lets it hop a little from her hand,
And with a silk thread plucks it back again,
So loving-jealous of its liberty.
Romeo,— -I would 1 were thy bird,
J u liet.— Sweet, so would I!
Yet T should kiii thee with much cherishing.
Good night, good-nigiil ' Parting is such sweet sorrow
