Romeo and Juliet

William Shakespeare

Act 2

Enterย Chorus.

CHORUS.
Now old desire doth in his deathbed lie,
And young affection gapes to be his heir;
That fair for which love groanโ€™d for and would die,
With tender Juliet matchโ€™d, is now not fair.
Now Romeo is belovโ€™d, and loves again,
Alike bewitched by the charm of looks;
But to his foe supposโ€™d he must complain,
And she steal loveโ€™s sweet bait from fearful hooks:
Being held a foe, he may not have access
To breathe such vows as lovers use to swear;
And she as much in love, her means much less
To meet her new beloved anywhere.
But passion lends them power, time means, to meet,
Tempering extremities with extreme sweet.

[Exit.]
