Male & Female vocals [Romeo & Juliet]
Juliet is talking aloud, having discovered that Romeo is a Montigue.
Juliet : O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
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.
Romeo: Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
Juliet : ‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy:
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague,
What’s Montague? It is nor hand nor foot,
Nor arm nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O be some other name.
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose,
By any other name would smell as sweet,
So Romeo would were he not Romeo call’d
Retain that dear perfection which he owes,
Without that title, Romeo doff thy name,
And for thy name which is no part of thee,
Take all my self.
