[I, 1]

Sampson

A dog of that house shall move me to stand: I will
take the wall of any man or maid of Montague's.

[I, 1]

Sampson

30

True; and therefore women, being the weaker vessels,
are ever thrust to the wall: therefore I will push
Montague's men from the wall, and thrust his maids
to the wall.

[I, 1]

Sampson

'Tis all one, I will show myself a tyrant: when I
have fought with the men, I will be cruel with the
maids, and cut off their heads.

Me they shall feel while I am able to stand: and

I will frown as I pass by, and let them take it as

Nay, as they dare. I will bite my thumb at them;
which is a disgrace to them, if they bear it.

11

I do bite my thumb, sir.

[Aside to GREGORY] Is the law of our side, if I say
ay?

Benvolio

I do but keep the peace: put up thy sword,
Or manage it to part these men with me.

16

Romeo and Juliet
[I, 1]

Tybalt

84

What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word,
As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee:
Have at thee, coward!
[They fight]
[Enter, several of both houses, who join the fray;
then enter Citizens, with clubs]

17

Romeo and Juliet
[I, 1]

Capulet

95

My sword, I say! Old Montague is come,
And flourishes his blade in spite of me.

18

Romeo and Juliet
[I, 1]

Benvolio

127

Here were the servants of your adversary,
And yours, close fighting ere I did approach:
I drew to part them: in the instant came
The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared,
Which, as he breathed defiance to my ears,
He swung about his head and cut the winds,
Who nothing hurt withal hiss'd him in scorn:
While we were interchanging thrusts and blows,
Came more and more and fought on part and part,
Till the prince came, who parted either part.

19

Romeo and Juliet
[I, 1]

Lady Montague

137

O, where is Romeo? saw you him to-day?
Right glad I am he was not at this fray.

20

Romeo and Juliet

Benvolio

139

Madam, an hour before the worshipp'd sun
Peer'd forth the golden window of the east,
A troubled mind drave me to walk abroad;
Where, underneath the grove of sycamore
That westward rooteth from the city's side,
So early walking did I see your son:
Towards him I made, but he was ware of me
And stole into the covert of the wood:
I, measuring his affections by my own,
That most are busied when they're most alone,
Pursued my humour not pursuing his,
And gladly shunn'd who gladly fled from me.
