Shakespeare's Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet

by William Shakespeare

Live here in heaven and may look on her,

But Romeo may not. More [validity],

More honourable state, more [courtship] lives

In carrion-flies than Romeo. They may seize

On the white wonder of dear Juliet's hand

And steal immortal blessing from her lips,

[Who], even in pure and vestal modesty,

Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin;

But Romeo may not, he is banished.

This may flies do, when I from this must fly;
