40 ROMEO AND JULIET. 

The ape is dead, and T must conjure him. — 
I conjure thee by Eosaline's bright eyes, 
By her high forehead and her scarlet lip, 
That in thy likeness thou appear to us ! 

Benvolio. An if he hear thee thou wilt anger him. 

Mercutio. This cannot anger him : 'twould anger him 
To raise a spirit in his mistress' circle 
Of some strange nature, letting it there stand 
Till she had laid it and conjur'd it down ; 
That were some spite : my invocation 
Is fair and honest, and in his mistress' name 
T conjure only but to raise up him. 

Benvolio. Come, he hath hid himself among these trees. 
To be consorted with the humorous night ; 
Blind is his love and best befits the dark, 

Mercutio. If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark. — 
Romeo, good night. — I'll to my truckle bed; 
This field-bed is too cold for me to sleep. 
Come, shall we go ? 

Benvolio. Go, then ; for 'tis in vain 

To seek him here that means not to be found. [^Exeunt. 

Scene II, Cajpulet^s Orchard. 

Enter Romeo, 

Romeo. He jests at scars that never felt a wound. — 

[Juliet appears above at a window.
