Dialogue
Romeo: "She speaks.
Oh, speak again, bright angel! For thou art
As glorious to this night, being o'er my head,
As is a winged messenger of Heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds,
And sails upon the bosom of the air." (II.ii.26-32)
