Dialogue

Juliet: "If they do see thee, they will murder thee.
Romeo: "Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye
Than twenty of their swords. Look thou but sweet,
And I am proof against their enmity.
Juliet: "I would not for the world they saw thee here."
Romeo: "I have night's cloak to hide me from their eyes,
And but thou love me, let them find me here.
My life were better ended by their hate
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love." (II.ii.70-78)
