JulietMy ears have not yet drunk a hundred words Of that tongue's uttering, yet I know the sound. Art thou not Romeo and a Montague? RomeoNeither, fair maid, if either thee dislike. JulietHow camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore? The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, And the place death, considering who thou art, If any of my kinsmen find thee here. RomeoWith love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls, For stony limits cannot hold love out; And what love can do, that dares love attempt. Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me. JulietIf they do see thee, they will murder thee. RomeoAlack, there lies more peril in thine eye Than twenty of their swords. Look thou but sweet, And I am proof against their enmity.
