Gre. But thou art not quickly moved to strike.
Sam. A dog of the house of Montague moves me.
Gre. To move is to stir, and to be valiant is to stand:[11]
therefore, if thou art moved, thou runn'st away.[11] 10
Sam. A dog of that house shall move me to stand: I[12][13]

Gre. That shows thee a weak slave; for the weakest[14]
goes to the wall.
Sam. 'Tis true; and therefore women, being the weaker[15][16]15
vessels, are ever thrust to the wall: therefore I will push[16]
Montague's men from the wall and thrust his maids to
the wall.
Gre. The quarrel is between our masters and us their[17]
men. 20
Sam. 'Tis all one, I will show myself a tyrant: when I
have fought with the men, I will be cruel with the maids;[18]
I will cut off their heads.[19]
Gre. The heads of the maids?[20]
