Rom.
Can I go forward, when my heart is here?
Turn back, dull earth, and find thy centre ^note out. [leaps the Wall. Enter Benvolio, and Mercutio.

Ben.
Romeo! why ^note, cousin Romeo!

Mer.
He is wise;
And, on my life, hath stoln him home to bed.

Ben.
He ran this way, and leapt this orchard wall:
Call, good Mercutio.

Mer.
Nay, I'll conjure too.—
Romeo! humours! madman! passion! lover! ^note
Appear thou in the likeness of a sigh ^note,
Speak but one ^note rime, and I am satisfy'd;
Cry but ^note—Ay me, couple ^note but ^note—love and dove ^note;
Speak to my gossip Venus one fair word,
One nick-name for her ^note purblind son and heir, ^note
Young Abraham Cupid14Q1395, he that shot so true ^note
When king Cophetua lov'd the beggar-maid ^note.—
He heareth not, he stirreth ^note not, he moveth not;
The ape is dead, and ^note I must conjure him.—
I conjure thee by Rosaline bright eyes ^note,
By her high forehead, and her scarlet lip,
By her fine foot, strait leg, and quivering thigh,
And the demesnes that there adjacent lie,
That in thy likeness thou appear to us.

Ben.
An if he hear thee, thou wilt anger him.

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

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

Mer.
If love be blind, love cannot ^note hit the mark.

Now will he sit under a medlar tree,
And wish his mistress were such kind ^note of fruit,
As maids call medlars, when they laugh alone:—
Ah, Romeo, that ^note she were, ah, that she were
An open—, and thou ^note a poperin ^note pear!
Romeo, good night:—I'll to my truckle-bed ^note;
This field-bed is too cold for me to sleep:
Come, shall we go?

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