So smile the heavens upon this holy actThat after-hours with sorrow chide us not.
ROMEOandFRIAR LAWRENCE Enter
Amen, amen. But come what sorrow can, It cannot countervail the exchange of joy That one short minute gives me in her sight. Do thou but close our hands with holy words, Then love-devouring death do what he dare; It is enough I may but call her mine.
Juliet enters in a rush
Here comes the lady. Oh, so light a footWill ne'er wear out the everlasting flint. A lover may bestride the gossamers That idles in the wanton summer air, And yet not fall. So light is vanity.
Romeo shall thank thee, daughter, for us both.
Good even to my ghostly confessor.
Ah, Juliet, if the measure of thy joy25Be heaped like mine, and that thy skill be more .To blazon it, then sweeten with thy breath. This neighbor air, and let rich music’s tongue Unfold the imagined happiness that both. Receive in either by this dear encounter.
Come, come with me, and we will make short work.For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone Till holy church incorporate two in one.
Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, Brags of his substance, not of ornament. They are but beggars that can count their worth. But my true love is grown to such excess I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth.
