My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.

By any other name would smell as sweet.

That monthly changes in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.

Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.

Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth.

On the white wonder of dear Juliet's hand
And steal immortal blessing from her lips,
Who even in pure and vestal modesty,
Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin.

O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!

Like softest music to attending ears!

Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun.

For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
