From Capulet’s garden Romeo overhears Juliet express her love for him. When he answers her, they acknowledge their love and their desire to be married.
ROMEO:
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon.
Be not her maid since she is envious.
ROMEO:
It is my lady. O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
JULIET:
Hey, I am here.
O, speak again, bright angel.
As glorious to this night.
JULIET:
O Romeo, Romeo, why are you Romeo?
Deny your father and refuse your name,
Or, if you wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And no longer be a Capulet.
ROMEO:
Shall I hear more?
JULET:
Yes, but your name that is my enemy.
ROMEO:
I take you at your word.
Call me but love, and I’ll be new baptized.
I never will be Romeo.
