Scene 12 - Lovers can see to do their amorous rites / By their own beauties

[tender_juliet]

[Filtered AGAINST Tybalt/Moderately Hackable]
How fleet doth fickle blood run bold, and not yet full two month's time from true love's sphere removed.

And yet how canst maidenhood, when promise offered yet waits to be possessed, still itself and say: Blood freeze and Heart beat not.

Shall Juliet now forever cloaked in winter be?

You're missing someone, Lady Juliet?

Ay, good Caspian. My heart is filled with such ache, my mind with such turmoil of thoughts and feelings.

Is it because of that day when the strange sprigs were growing all over the City?

'Twas the kissing weed, thou know'st it not? Ay, and ay again, I have thought on little else.

A few others tried to explain it to me. It's an interesting tradition.

I'm sorry that you miss him so, but if you are in love I would think that he would willingly wait for you as well.

'Tis not a lack of honor in him I fear.

What do you fear, Juliet?

That Juliet's heart shall have two minds, and tear itself asunder 'ere Ro- 'ere true love be seen again.

You would call this fear of being unfaithful to him?

[tender_juliet]

Ay, thou hast the right of it. Were I home I should now be a wife.

But if he loves you and you him, then perhaps you can wait for that day to come, together although you are apart.

'Tis an easier task for him, I think. For he does not wait at all, thinks not on absence, hath no Rosalind to draw his eye.
