Scene One

A lane by the wall of Capulet's orchard．

［Enter ROMEO］

ROMEO

Can I go forward when my heart is here？Turn back，dull earth，and find thy centre out．

［He climbs the wall，and leaps down within it］

［Enter BENVOLIO and MERCUTIO］

BENVOLIO

Romeo！my cousin Romeo！

MERCUTIO

He is wise；And，on my lie，hath stol'n him home to bed．

BENVOLIO

He ran this way，and leap'd this orchard wall：Call，good Mercutio．

MERCUTIO

Nay，I'll conjure too．Romeo！humours！madman！passion！lover！Appear thou in the likeness of a sigh：Speak but one rhyme，and I am satisfied；Cry but 'Ay me！'pronounce but'love' and'dove；' Speak to my gossip Venus one fair word，One nick-name for her purblind son and heir，Young Adam Cupid，he that shot so trim，When King Cophetua loved the beggar-maid！He hearethnot，he stirreth not，he moveth not；The ape is dead，and I must conjure him．I conjure theeby Rosaline's bright eyes，By her high forehead and her scarlet lip，By her fine foot，straight leg and qnivering thigh And the demesnes that there adjacent⒀ lie，That in thy likeness thou appear to us！

BENVOLIO

And if he hear thee，thou wilt anger him．

MERCUTIO

This cannot anger him：'twouldanger him To raise a spirit in his mistress' circle Of some strange nature，letting it there stand Till she had laid it and conjured it down；That were some spite：my invocation Is fair and honest，and in his mistress' name I conjure only but to raise up him．

BENVOLIO

Come，he hath hid himself among these trees，To be consorted with the humorous night：Blind is his love and best befits the dark．

MERCUTIO

If love be blind，love cannot hit the mark．Now will he sit under a medler tree，And wish his mistress were that kind of fruit As maids call medlars，when they laugh alone．Romeo，that she were，O，that she were An open et caetera，thou a poperin pear！Romeo，good night：I'll to my truckle－bed；This field-bed is too cold for me to sleep：Come，shall we go？

BENVOLIO

Go，then；for 'tis in vain To seek him here that means not to be found．

［Exeunt ］

第一场  维洛那。凯普莱特花园墙外的小巷

罗密欧上。

罗密欧  我的心还逗留在这里，我能够就这样掉头前去吗？转回去，你这无精打彩的身子，去找寻你的灵魂吧。（攀登墙上，跳入墙内。）

班伏里奥及茂丘西奥上。

班伏里奥  罗密欧！罗密欧兄弟！

茂丘里奥  他是个乖巧的家伙；我说他一定溜回家去睡了。

班伏里奥  他往这条路上跑，一定跳进这花园的墙里去了。好茂丘里奥，你叫叫他吧。

茂丘里奥  不，我还要念咒喊他出来呢。罗密欧！痴人！疯子！恋人！情郎！快快化做一声叹息出来吧！我不要你多说什么，只要你念一行诗，叹一口气，把咱们那位维纳斯奶奶恭维两句，替她的瞎眼儿子丘匹德少爷取个绰号，这位小爱神真是个神弓手，竟让国王爱上了叫化子的女儿！他没有听见，他没有作声，他没有动静；这猴崽子难道死了吗？待我咒他的鬼魂出来。凭着罗瑟琳的光明的眼睛，凭着她的高额角，她的红嘴唇，她的玲珑的脚，挺直的小腿，弹性的大腿和大腿附近的那一部分，凭着这一切的名义，赶快给我现出真形来吧！

班伏里奥  他要是听见了，一定会生气的。

茂丘里奥  这不致于叫他生气；他要是生气，除非是气得他在他情人的圈儿里唤起一个异样的妖精，由它在那儿昂然直立，进等她降伏了它，并使它低下头来；那样做的话，才是怀着恶意呢；我的咒语却很正当，我无非凭着他情人的名字唤他出来罢了。

班伏里奥  来，他已经躲到树丛里，跟那多露水的黑夜作伴去了；爱情本来是盲目的，让他在黑暗里摸索去吧。

茂丘里奥  爱情如果是盲目的，就射不中靶。此刻他该坐在枇杷树下了，希望他的情人就是他口中的枇杷。——啊，罗密欧，但愿，但愿她真的成了你到口的枇杷！罗密欧，晚安！我要上床睡觉去；这儿草地上太冷啦，我可受不了。来，咱们走吧。

班伏里奥  好，走吧；他要避着我们，找他也是白费辛勤。（同下。）
