Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare (excerpt)
ROMEO: (To a servant): What lady is that who does enrich the hand of yonder knight?
SERVANT: I don’t know, sir.
ROMEO: Oh, she does teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in someone’s ear
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows
As yonder lady over other ladies shows.
The measure done, I’ll watch her where she stands,
And touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!
For I never saw true beauty till this night.
