ROMEO AND JULIET ❤️☠️
Romeo
[To Juliet, taking her hands]
I fear I’ve defiled your hands, which are like a holy shrine to me, by touching them with my own unworthy hands. But I have an agreeable way to make it up to you. My lips are ready to smooth over that rough touch with a tender kiss, like two devoted pilgrims before a holy place.
Juliet
Good worshipper, you’re too harsh on your own hand, as it shows a perfectly polite devotion by holding mine. After all, pilgrims touch the hands of saints, and the hands kiss when their palms are brought together.
Romeo
Yes, but don’t the saints and the worshipers have lips, too?
Juliet
Yes, pilgrim, lips that they should use for prayer.
Romeo
Well then, dear saint, let our lips do what our hands are doing. They’re praying for something after all, a kiss, so their faith doesn’t turn into despair.
Juliet
Saints don’t act first, although they may respond to prayers.
Romeo
Then don’t move while I get my prayers answered.
[He kisses her]
Now all the sin has been purged from my lips thanks to yours.
Juliet
Then that sin has passed from your lips to mine.
Romeo
A sin from my lips? Oh what a sweetly suggested trespass! Give it back to me.
[He kisses her again.]
Juliet
You kiss by the book.
