Romeo & Juliet
Storyboard Text

- Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this;For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touchAnd palm to palm is holy palmers kiss.

- O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris, from off the battlements of any tower, or walk in thievish ways, or bid me lurk where serpents are; chain me with roaring bears, or hide me nightly in charnel house, o'ercovered quite with dead men's rattling bones, with reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls; or bid me go into a new-made grave and hide me with a dead man in his shroud- things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble- and I will do it without fear or doubt, to live an unstained wife to my sweet love.
