Deny thy father and refuse thy name.

And I'll no longer be a Capulet."

And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume."

Where Juliet lives, and every cat and dog
And little mouse, every unworthy thing,
Live here in heaven and may look on her,
But Romeo may not."

"O my love, my wife!
Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty."
