Read the excerpt from Act IV, scene i of Romeo and Juliet.Friar Laurence: On Thursday, sir? the time is very short.Paris: My father Capulet will have it so;And I am nothing slow to slack his haste.5Friar Laurence: You say you do not know the lady’s mind:Uneven is the course, I like it not.Paris: Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt’s death,And therefore have I little talk’d of love;For Venus smiles not in a house of tears.10

Read the dialogue between the two main characters in Act I, scene v of Romeo and Juliet.Romeo: [To JULIET.] If I profane with my unworthiest handThis holy shrine, the gentle sin is this;My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.Juliet: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,Which mannerly devotion shows in this;For saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch,And palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss.
