ACT II

To lure this tassel-gentle back again. Bondage is hoarse and may not speak aloud, Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, And make her airy tongue more hoarse than mine With repetition of my Romeo’s name.

ROMEO.

ROMEO.

JULIET.

What o’clock tomorrow

Shall I send to thee?

ROMEO.

By the hour of nine.

JULIET. I will not fail. ’Tis twenty years till then.
