My fave part of the play. ^_^ **Sighs dreamily**
Romeo: [taking Juliet's hand]
1 If I profane with my unworthiest hand religious language throughout
2 This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this:
3 My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand Petrarchan pick-up line
4 To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
Juliet:
5 Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Juliet picks up theme
6 Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
7 For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, enlarges on it, wittily
8 And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss. puts her right palm against his (?)
Romeo:
9 Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too? What does he do here?
Juliet:
10 Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. What does she do now?
Romeo:
11 Oh then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do.
12 They pray: grant thou, lest faith turn to despair. Does he put her palms together?
Juliet:
13 Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake. What's her body language?
Romeo:
14 Then move not while my prayer's effect I take. [He kisses her]
1 Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged. Pace speeds up
Juliet: They alternate lines
2 Then have my lips the sin that they have took.
Romeo:
3 Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
4 Give me my sin again. [He kisses her] The line is shared, like their feelings
Juliet:
You kiss by th' book. Is this a compliment? A joke?
Nurse:
Madam, your mother craves a word with you.
[Juliet moves toward her mother.]
