ACT I IT

                                    Scene I IT

     Enter Sampson and Gregory, with swords and bucklers, of the house of
                                             Capulet.

     SAMPSON

Gregory, on my word we’ll not carry coals.

     GREGORY

No, for then we should be colliers.

     SAMPSON

I mean, and we be in choler, we’ll draw.

     GREGORY

Ay, while you live, draw your neck out of collar.

     SAMPSON

I strike quickly being moved. [5]

     GREGORY

But thou art not quickly moved to strike.

     SAMPSON

A dog of the house of Montague moves me.

     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 that house shall move me to stand. I [10] will take the wall of any
man or maid of Montague’s.
