SAMPSON True and therefore women, being the weaker vessels, are ever thrust to the wall: therefore I will push Montague's men from the wall, and thrust his maids to the wall. GREGORY That shows thee a weak slave for the weakest goes to the wall. SAMPSON A dog of that house shall move me to stand: I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montague's. GREGORY To move is to stir and to be valiant is to stand: therefore, if thou art moved, thou runn'st away. SAMPSON A dog of the house of Montague moves me. GREGORY But thou art not quickly moved to strike. ![]() GREGORY Ay, while you live, draw your neck out o' the collar. SAMPSON I mean, an we be in choler, we'll draw. GREGORY No, for then we should be colliers. ![]() Enter SAMPSON and GREGORY, of the house of Capulet, armed with swords and bucklers SAMPSON Gregory, o' my word, we'll not carry coals. The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife. ACT I PROLOGUE Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
