ROM. He that is strucken blind, cannot forget
The precious treasure of his eyesight lost :-
Show me a mistress that is passing fair;-
•What doth her beauty serve but as a note
Remembering me who past that passing fair?
Farewell: thou canst not teach me to forget.

MER. I warrant thee, if thou 'It but stay to hear:
To-night there is an ancient splendid feast
Kept by old Capulet, our enemy,

Where all the beauties of Verona meet.
ROм. At Capulet's?

MER. At Capulet's, my friend:

Go there, and with an unattainted eye,
Compare her face with some that I shall show,
And I will make thee think thy swan a crow.

ROM. When the devout religion of mine eyes Maintains such falsehood, then turn tears to fires And burn the heretics! All-seeing Phoebus Ne'er saw her match since first his course begun. MER. Tut, tut, you saw her fair, none else being by, Herself poised with herself; but let be weighed Your lady-love against some other fair,

And she will show scant well.

ROM. I will along, Mercutio.

MER. 'Tis well: look to behold at this high feast Earth-treading stars that make dim heaven's light. Hear all, see all, try all; and like her most

That most shall merit thee.

ROм. My mind is changed:

I will not go to-night.

MER. Why? may one ask?

:

ROM. I dreamt a dream to-night.

MER. Ha ha! a dream?

Oh, 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 asleep;

Her waggon-spokes made of long spinners' legs;
The cover of the wings of grasshoppers,
The traces of the smallest spider's web,
