Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.

I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth.

On the white wonder of dear Juliet's hand
And steal immortal blessing from her lips,
Who even in pure and vestal modesty,
Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin.

O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!

Like softest music to attending ears!

Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun.

For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
