Tybalt: Romeo, the hate I bear thee can afford
No better term than this, – thou art a villain.
Romeo: Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee
Doth much excuse the appertaining rage
To such a greeting; villain am I none,
Therefore farewell; I see thou know'st me not.
Tybalt: Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries
That thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw.
–Romeo and Juliet,
William Shakespeare
