Romeo and Juliet

Question

by William Shakespeare

Enter Capulet, with Juliet and others of his house, meeting the Guests and Maskers

Capulet.

Welcome, gentlemen! ladies that have their toes

Unplagu’d with corns will have a bout with you.—

Ah ha, my mistresses! which of you all

Will now deny to dance? she that makes dainty,

She, I’ll swear, hath corns; am I come near ye now?—

Welcome, gentlemen! I have seen the day

That I have worn a visor and could tell

A whispering tale in a fair lady’s ear,

Such as would please; ‘tis gone, ‘tis gone, ‘tis gone.—

You are welcome, gentlemen!—Come, musicians, play.—

A hall, a hall! give room! and foot it, girls.— [Music plays, and they dance.]

More light, you knaves; and turn the tables up,

And quench the fire, the room is grown too hot.—

Ah, sirrah, this unlook’d-for sport comes well.—

Nay, sit, nay, sit, good cousin Capulet,

For you and I are past our dancing days.

How long is ‘t now since last yourself and I

Were in a mask?
