Romeo and Juliet paragraph translations

Tut man, one fire burns out another's burning. One pain is lessened by another's anguish. Turn giddy, and be helped by backward turning. One desperate grief cures with another's LANGUISH. Take thou some new infection to thy eye, and the rank poison of the old will die. Who says it? Talking to?

Benvolio Means- Come one man. You can put out one fire by starting another. A new pain will make yourself dizzy, you can cure yourself by spinning back around in the opposite direction. A new grief will put the old one out of your mind. Make yourself lovesick by gazing at some new girl, and your old lovesickness will be cured Talking to Romeo

Come, he hath hid himself among these trees, to be CONSORTED with the humorous night. Blind is his love and best befits the dark. Who says it? Talking to?

Benvolio Means-Come on. He's hidden behind these trees to keep the night company. His love is blind, so it belongs in the dark. Talking to Mercutio

You high displeasure. All this uttered With gentle breath, calm look, knees humbled bowed, Could not take truce with the unruly spleen Of Tybalt deaf to peace, but that he tilts With piercing steel at Mercutio's breast, Who, all as hot, turns deadly point to point, And, with a martial scorn, with one hand beats Cold death aside and with the other sends It bac to tybalt, whose DEXTERITY, Resorts it. Romeo, he cries aloud, "Hold, friends! Friends, part!" and , swifter than his tongue Who says it? Talking to?

Benvolio Tybalt, started the fight before he was killed by Romeo. Romeo spoke to Tybalt politely and told him how silly this argument was. He mentioned that you would not approve of the fight. He said all of this gently and calmly, kneeling down out of respect. But he could not make peace with Tybalt, who was in an angry mood and wouldn't listen to talk about peace. Tybalt and Mercutio began to fight each other fiercely, lunging at one and dodging each others blows. Romeo cried out " Stop, my friends. Break it up." Then he jumped in between them and forced them to put their swords down. But Tybalt reached under Romeo's arm and thrust his sword into brave Mercutio. Then tybalt fled the scene. Talking to-the Prince

But like you misbehaved and sullen wench, Thou pout'st upon thy fortune and thy love. Take heed, take heed, for such die miserable. Go, get thee to thy love, as was decreed. Ascend her chamber, hence, and comfort her. But look thou stay not till the watch be set, For then thou canst not pass Mantua, Where thou shalt live, till we can find a time To blaze your marriage, RECONCILE your friend, Beg pardon of the Prince, and call thee back With twenty hundred thousand times more joy That thou went'st forth in lamentation-- Go before, Nurse. COMMEND me to thy lady, And bid her hasten all the house to bed, Which heavy sorrow makes them apt unto. Romeo is coming. Who says it? Talking to?

Friar Means- But like a misbehaved, sullen girl, you're whining about your bad luck and your love, Go be with your love, as it was decided at your wedding. Climb up to her bedroom and comfort her. But get out of there before the night watchmen take their positions. Then you will escape to the city of Mantua, where you'll live until we can make your marriage public and make peace between your families. Well ask the price to pardon you. Then we'll welcome you with twenty thousand more joy than oil have when you leave this town crying. Go ahead Nurse, give my regards to you lady, and her to hurt everybody in the house to bed. I'm sure they're all so sad that they'll be ready to sleep. Romeo is coming Talking to Romeo

Hold thy desperate hand. Art thou a man? Thy form cries out thou art. Thy tears are womanish. Thy wild acts denote The unreasonable fury of a beast. Unseemly woman in a seeming man, and ill-beseeming beast in seeming both!Though hast amazed me. By my holy order, I thought thy DISPOSITION better tempered. Who says it? Talking to?

Friar Means- Hold on, and don't act out of desperation. Are you a man? You look like a man, but your tears make you look like a woman. Your wild actions resemble the irrational fury of a beast. You're a shameful woman who looks like a man or else an ugly creature who's half-man, half-beast. You have amazed me. I swear by my holy order, I thought you were smarter and more rational than this. Romeo

Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift and hither shall he come, and he and I will watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua. And this shall free thee from this present shame, if no inconstant toy, nor womanish fear, ABATE thy valor in the acting it Who says it? Talking to?

Friar Means- Meanwhile, I'll send Romeo word of our plan. He'll come here, and we'll keep watch for when you wake up. That night, Romeo will take you away to Mantua. This plan will free you from the shameful situation that troubles you now as long as you don't change your mind, or become scared like a silly woman and ruin your brave effort. Talking to Juliet

Alack, alack, what blood is this, which stains The stony entrance of this sepulchre? What mean these masterless and gory swords To lie discolour'd by this place of peace? Who says it? Talking to?

Friar Means-Romeo! Oh no! What is this blood that stains the stony entrance of this tomb? Why are these bloody swords lying here, abandoned by their masters? Next to this place of peace? Talking outloud

God joined my heart and Romeo's, thou our hands. And ere this hand, by thee to Romeo sealed, Shall be the label to another deed, Or my true heart with treacherous revolt Turn to another, this shall slay them both. Therefore out of thy long-experienced time, give me some present counsel, or, behold 'twixt my extremes and me this bloody knife shall play the umpire, ARBITRATING that which the commission of thy years and art could to no issue of true honor bring. Who says it? Talking to?

Juliet Means- Don't tell me what you've heard about this marriage, Friar, unless you can tell me how to prevent it. If you who are so wise can't help, please be kind enough to call my solution wise. And i'll solve the problem now with this knife. God joined my heart to Romeo's. You joined our hands. And before I, who was married to Romeo by you. You are wise and you have so much experience. Give me some advice about the current situation. Or watch. Caught between these two difficulties, I'll act like a judge with my bloody knife. I will truly and honorably resolve the situation that you can't fix, despite your experience and education. Don't wait long to speak. I want to die if what you say isn't another solution Talking to- Friar

The clock struck nine when I did send the Nurse. In half an hour she promised to return. Perchance she cannot meet him. That's not so. Oh, she is lame! Love's heralds should be thought, which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams, driving back shadows over louring hills. Therefore do nimble-pinioned doves draw love and therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings. Now is the sun upon the highmost hill of this day's journey, and from nine till twelve. Is three long hours, yet she is not come. Had she affections and warm youthful blood, she would be as swift in motion as a ball. My words would bandy her to my sweet love, and his to me. But old folks, many FEIGN as they were dead, unwieldy, slow, heavy, and pale as lead Who says it? Talking to?

Juliet Means- I sent the Nurse as nine o' clock. Maybe she can't find him. Oh she's slow! Love's messengers should be thoughts, which fly ten times faster than sunbeams. They should be strong enough to push shadows over the dark hills. That's the way doves carry Venus so fast, and that's why Cupid has wings that let him fly as fast as the wind. Now it's noon. That's three hours since none o'clock, but she hasn't come back. If she was young and passionate, she'd move as fast as a ball. My words would bounce her to my sweet love, and his words would bounce back to me.But a lot of old people act like they're already dead, sluggish,slow,fat,and colorless, like lead Talking to-Herself

Well though hast comforted me marvelous much. Go in, and tell my lady I am gone, Having displeased my father, to lawrence's cell to make confession and to be ABSOLVED. Who says it? Talking to?

Juliet Means- Well, you have given me great comfort. Go inside and tell my mother that I'm gone. I made my father angry, so I went to the Friar Lawrence's cell to confess and be forgiven Talking to Nurse

No madam. We have CULLED such necessaries As are behooveful for our state tomorrow. So please you, let me now be left alone, And let the Nurse this night sit up with you. For, I am sure, you have your hands full all In this so sudden business. Who says it? Talking to?

Juliet Means- we've figured out the best things for me to wear tomorrow at the ceremony. So if it's okay with you, I'd like to be left alone now. I'm sure you have your hands full preparing for the sudden festivities. Talking to Lady Capulet

Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed. If that thy bent of love be honorable, Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow, By one that I'll PROCURE to come to thee, Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite, And all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay And follow thee my lord throughout the world. Who says it? Talking to?

Juliet Means-Three words, dear Romeo, and then it's good night for real. If your intentions as a lover are truly honorable and you want to marry me, send me word tomorrow. I'll send a messenger to you, and you can pass on a message telling me where and when we'll be married. I'll lay all my fortune at your feet and follow you, my lord, all over the world. Talking to Romeo

The horrible conceit of death and night together with the terror of the place, as in a vault, an ancient receptacle, Where for these many hundred years the bones of all my buried ancestors are packed; where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in earth, lies FESTERING in his shroud;where as they say, at some hours in the night spirit resort? Who says it? Talking to?

Juliet Means- That's a frightening idea. Won't I suffocate in the womb? There's no healthy air to breathe in there. Will I die of suffocation before Romeo comes?Or if I live, I'll be surrounded by death and darkness. It will be terrible. There will be bones hundreds of years old in that tomb, my ancestors' bones. Tybalt's body will be in there, freshly entombed, and his corpse will be rotting Talking to herself

Accursed, unhappy, wretched, hateful day! Most miserable hour that e'er time saw. In lasting labor of his pilgrimage. But one, poor one, one poor and loving child, but one thing to rejoice and SOLACE in, and cruel death hath catched it from my sight. Who says it? Talking to?

Lady Capulet Means- Accursed, unhappy, wretched, hateful day! This is the most miserable hour of all time! I had only one child, one poor child, one poor and loving child, the one thing I had to rejoice and comfort myself, and cruel death has stolen it from me Talking outloud

Marry, that "marry" is the very theme I came to talk of. Tell me, daughter Juliet, How stands your DISPOSITION to be married? Who says it? Talking to?

Lady Capulet Means- Well, marriage is exactly what we have to discuss. Tell me, my daughter Juliet, what is your attitude about getting married? Talking to Juliet

Well think of marriage now. Younger than you, Here in Verona, ladies of ESTEEM, are made already mothers. By my count, I was your mother much upon these years that you are now a maid. Thus then in brief:The valiant Paris seeks you for his love. Who says it? Talking to?

Lady Capulet Means-Well, start thinking about marriage now. Here in Verona there are girls younger than you, girls from noble families, who have already become mothers. By my count, I was already your mother at just about your age, while you remain a virgin. Well then, I'll say this quickly:the valiant Paris wants you as his bride. Talking to Juliet

CONSORT? What, dost thou make us minstrels? An thou make minerals of us, look to hear nothing but discord. Here's my fiddlesticks. Here's that shall make you dance. Zounds, "CONSORT"? Who says it? Talking to?

Mercutio Hang out? Who do you think we are, musicians in a band? If we look like musicians to you, you can expect to hear nothing but noise. This is my fiddlestick. I'll use it to make you dance. Goddammit -- "Hang out" Talking to-Tybalt

Many a morning hath he there been seen With tears AUGMENTING the fresh morning's dew.Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs. But all so soon as the all-cheering sun should in the farthest east begin to draw the shady curtains from Aurora's bed, away from light steals home my heavy son. Who says it? Talking to?

Montague Means- He(Romeo)has been there many mornings, crying tears that add drops to the mornings dew and making a cloudy day cloudier with his sighs. But as soon as the sun rises in the east, my sad son comes home to escape the light. Talking about romeo to Benvolio and lady Montague?????

And private in his chamber pens himself, shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out and makes himself an artificial night. Black and PORTENTOUS must this humor prove, unless good counsel may the cause remove. Who says it? Talking to?

Montague Means- Romeo Locks himself up alone in his bedroom, shuts his windows to keep out the beautiful daylight, and makes himself an artificial nighgt. This mood of his is going to bring bad news, unless someone smart can fix whats bothering him. Talking to Benvolio

Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt's death, And therefore have I little talked of love; For Venus smiles not in a house of tears. Now, sir, her father counts it dangerous that she do give her sorrow so much sway, and that in his wisdom hastes our marriage to stop the INUNDATION of her tears. Which, too much minded by herself alone, may be put from her by society. Now do you know the reason of this haste Who says it? Talking to?

Paris Means- She's grieving too much over the death of Tybalt. So I haven't had the chance to talk to her about love. Romantic love doesn't happen when people are in mourning. Now,sir, her father thinks it;s dangerous that she allows herself to become so sad. He's being smart by rushing our marriage to stop her from crying. She cries too much by herself. If she had someone to be with her, she would stop crying. Now you know the reason for rush. Talking to Friar

Madam, the guests are come, supper served, you called, my young lady asked for, the Nurse cursed in the pantry, and everything in extremity. I must hence to wait. I BESEECH you, follow straight. Who says it? Talking to?

I do remember an apothecary— And hearabouts he dwells — which late I noted In tattered weeds, with overwhelming brows, CULLING of simples. Meager were his looks, Sharp misery had worn him to the bones, And in his needy shop a tortoise hung, An alligator stuffed, and other skins Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelve A beggar my account of empty boxes, Green earthen pots, bladders and musty seeds, Remnants of packthread and old cakes of roses, We're thinly scattered to make up a show Who says it? Talking to?

Romeo Means- I'll live with you tonight. Let's see how. Destructive thoughts come quickly to the minds of desperate men! I remember a pharmacist who lives nearby. I remember he wears shabby clothes and has bushy eyebrows. He makes drugs from herbs. He looks miserable and poor and worn out to bone. He had a tortoise shell hanging up in his shop as well as a stuffed alligator. There were a few empty boxes on his shelves. There were a few strands of string and mashed rose petals on display. Talking to Balthasar

Thou, wretched boy, that didst CONSORT him here Who says it? Talking to?

Tybalt Shalt with him hence." - Wretched boy, you hung out with him here, and you're going to go to heaven with him. Talking to- Romeo
