Read the excerpts from Ovid’s Pyramus and Thisbe and Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
"Pyramus and Thisbe"
They had no confidant—and so used signs:
with these each lover read the other's mind:
when covered, fire acquires still more force.
Romeo and Juliet
Romeo: She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow
Do I live dead that live to tell it now.
Benvolio: Be ruled by me, forget to think of her.
Romeo: O, teach me how I should forget to think.
Benvolio: By giving liberty unto thine eyes;
Examine other beauties.
