Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare
Act 1, Scene 5 (excerpt)
In this scene, the Capulets are preparing for a ball. It is there that Romeo sees Julet for
the first time and becomes enamored with
her.
A Hal in Capuler's House
(Enter CAPULET, with JULIET and others of his house, meeting the Guests and
Maskers)
(2) ROMEO: What lady is that, which doth enrich the hand
Of yonder knight?
SERVANT: I know not, sir
ROMEO: O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright
(5) It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
As a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear,
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows
As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows
(10) The measure done, watch her place of stand,
And touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? Forswear t, sight
Select the correct answer.

TYBALT: Patience perforce with wilful choler meeting
Makes my flesh tremble in their different greeting
(55) I will withdraw but this intrusion shall
Now seeming sweet, convert to bitter gall

OD. He has been embarrassed by Romeo and will no longer serve the Capulet family
