SCENE I.
† noteCHORUS.
Now old desire doth on his death-bed lye,
And young affection gapes to be his heir:
That Fair, for which love groan'd sore, and would die,
With tender Juliet match'd, is now not fair.
Now Romeo is belov'd, and loves again,
Alike bewitched by the charm of looks:
But to his foe suppos'd he must complain,
And she steal love's sweet bait from fearful hooks.
Being held a foe, he may not have access
To breathe such vows as lovers use to swear;
-- 268 --
And she as much in love, her means much less,
To meet her new beloved any where:
But passion lends them power, time means to meet,
Tempting extremities with extream sweet.
