EOMEO AND JULIET. 23 

Borneo. When the devout religion of mine eye 

Maintains such falsehood, then turn tears to fires ; 
And these, who often drown'd could never die, 

Transparent heretics, be burnt for liars ! 
One fairer than my love ! the all-seeing sun 
Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun. 

Benvolio. Tut ! you saw her fair, none else being by, 
Herself pois'd with herself in either eye ; 
But in that crystal scales let there be weigh'd 
Your lady's love against some other maid 
That I will show you shining at this feast. 
And she shall scant show well that now shows best. 

Romeo. I'll go along, no such sight to be shown. 
But to rejoice in splendor of mine own. \Exeunt. 

Scene III. A Boom in Cajpulefs House. 
Enter Lady Capulet and Kurse. 

Lady Capulet. Kurse, where's my daughter ? call her 
forth to me. 

Nurse. Now, by my maidenhead at twelve year old, 
I bade her come. — What, lamb ! what, lady -bird ! — 
God forbid ! —Where's this girl ?— What, Juliet ! 

Enter Juliet. 

Juliet. How now ! who calls ? 

Ntirse. Your mother.
