ACT II

ROMEO.

That last is true; the sweeter rest was mine.

FRIAR LAWRENCE.

God pardon sin. Wast thou with Rosaline?

ROMEO.

With Rosaline, my ghostly father? No.

I have forgot that name, and that name’s woe.

FRIAR LAWRENCE.

That’s my good son. But where hast thou been then?

ROMEO.

I’ll tell thee ere thou ask it me again.

I have been feasting with mine enemy,

Where on a sudden one hath wounded me

That’s by me wounded. Both our remedies

Within thy help and holy physic lies.

I bear no hatred, blessed man; for lo,

My intercession likewise steads my foe.

FRIAR LAWRENCE.

Be plain, good son, and homely in thy drift;

Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift.
