"His former loves, desires that now have died,
Have given forth to joys that stand his hair. His former loves now long must be denied, For our young lad has now a new affair. Behold the hero! Love now once again., Bewitched by beauty's buoyant lease on looks. The fam'ly name must now become a bane And plays like this will now fill many books. His name is now a dirty word 'round town. But they will swear their love that both now share. Her sparkling eyes ashine like wedding gown... She'll meet her love though yet her name forswear. The power passion plays is storied here. So watch us now and plan to shed a tear. Can you ID and link to this passage? ·······  ······· |

Hi Ron,
I can't identify the specific passage, sorry. However, is this R&J? I say that because of your emphasis on names... "The fam'ly name must now become a bane" Capulet / Montgeau feud Fra from sure I'm correct but a guess, anyway. Cheers, J. |

Dear Jox,
Well, you're almost halfway home! The bigger "half" is to ID the actual passage and to link to it. Nicely done! Cheers, jgd (anyone out there who can find the entity first?) ······· ······· |

Hi Ron,
Phew! Two-in-a-row - think that might be my limit but glad I twigged on this one, too. I don't know the play anything like well wnough to pin-down the specific passage - that would simply be a research job. "The bigger "half"" sounds like me doing fractions! But I understand. There never was a tale of such woe... Well done. See you soon, J. |

Hi Ron..
In R & J - is it Act 2, scene 3? From Shakespeare: ROMEO Then plainly know my heart's dear love is set On the fair daughter of rich Capulet: As mine on hers, so hers is set on mine; And all combined, save what thou must combine By holy marriage: when and where and how We met, we woo'd and made exchange of vow, I'll tell thee as we pass; but this I pray, That thou consent to marry us to-day. FRIAR LAURENCE Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here! Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, So soon forsaken? young men's love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes. Jesu Maria, what a deal of brine Hath wash'd thy sallow cheeks for Rosaline! How much salt water thrown away in waste, To season love, that of it doth not taste! The sun not yet thy sighs from heaven clears, Thy old groans ring yet in my ancient ears; Lo, here upon thy cheek the stain doth sit Of an old tear that is not wash'd off yet: If e'er thou wast thyself and these woes thine, Thou and these woes were all for Rosaline: And art thou changed? pronounce this sentence then, Women may fall, when there's no strength in men.  ······· ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.
