T Y BALT

          ’Tis he, that villain Romeo.

CAPULET

 Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone, [65]
 A bears him like a portly gentleman;
 And, to say truth, Verona brags of him
 To be a virtuous and well-govern’d youth.
 I would not for the wealth of all this town
 Here in my house do him disparagement. [70]
 Therefore be patient, take no note of him.
 It is my will, the which if thou respect,
 Show a fair presence and put off these frowns,
 An ill-beseeming semblance for a feast.

T Y BALT

 It fits when such a villain is a guest: [75]
 I’ll not endure him.

CAPULET

                He shall be endur’d.
 What, goodman boy! I say he shall! Go to,
 Am I the master here or you? Go to.
 You’ll not endure him! God shall mend my soul,
 You’ll make a mutiny among my guests, [80]
 You will set cock-a-hoop, you’ll be the man!

T Y BALT

 Why, uncle, ’tis a shame.

CAPULET

                Go to, go to.
 You are a saucy boy. Is’t so indeed?
 This trick may chance to scathe you. I know what.
 You must contrary me. Marry, ’tis time - [85]
 Well said, my hearts - You are a princox, go
 Be quiet, or - More light! More light! - For shame,
 I’ll make you quiet. What, cheerly, my hearts!
