4 Quotes to know: where in the book is it, who said it, why, and to whom. my mind misgives/ Some consequence, yet hanging in the stars,/ Shall bitterly begin his fearful date/ With this night s revels "O, then, I see Queen Mab hath been with you! / She is the fairies midwife, and she comes / In shape no bigger than an agate-stone / On the fore-finger of an alderman, / Drawn with a team of little atomies / Athwart men s noses as they lie." "Marry, that marry is the very theme/ I came to talk of. Tell me / daughter Juliet, how stands / your disposition to be married?" "Did my heart love till now? /foreswear it, sight! /For I ne'er saw true beauty /till this night." [s]ee what a scourge is laid upon your hate,/ That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love/...all are punishèd ( ) You kiss by th book. He jests at scars that never felt a wound. "Marry, that marry is the very theme I came to talk of. Tell me daughter Juliet, how stands your disposition to be married?" That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet. I will make thy swan a crow. My only love sprung from my only hate. A plague on both your houses! Be fickle, Fortune, For then I hope thou wilt not keep him long, But send him back. These times of woe afford no time to woo.
5 It was the nightingale, and not the lark, Then, window, let day in, and let life out. Hold, daughter, I do spy a kind of hope, which craves as desperate an execution as that is desperate which we would prevent. I think it best you married with the County. O, he s a lovely gentleman! O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?
