#8 Romeo

  1. Romeo.: O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
  2. It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
  3. Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear;
  4. Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
  5. So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows
  6. As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
  7. The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand
  8. And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
  9. Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!
  10. For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

This is Romeo’s reaction to seeing Juliet for the first time. Take it line by line, sentence by sentence. Put it into your own words.
