Romeo and Juliet Dialogue

The Copied Passage | Your Response to the Passage | 1.5.93-127 ROMEO | [To JULIET] If I profane with my unworthiest hand | | This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: | | My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand | | To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. | JULIET | Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, | | Which mannerly devotion shows in this; | | For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, | | And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss. | ROMEO | Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too? | JULIET | Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. | | ROMEO | O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; | | | They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair. | | JULIET | Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake. | | ROMEO | Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take. | | | Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged. | | JULIET | Then have my lips the sin that they have took. | | ROMEO | Sin from thy lips?

Come on then, let's to bed. | | | Ah, sirrah, by my fay, it waxes late: | |
