    Seal up the mouth of outrage for a while, Till we can clear these ambiguities, And know their spring, their head, their true descent, And then will I be general of your woes, And lead you even to death. Mean time forbear, And let mischance be slave to patience.

    The time and my intents are savage-wild, More fierce and more inexorable far Than empty tigers or the roaring sea.
  • We see the ground whereon these.
    We see the ground whereon these woes do lie, But the true ground of all these piteous woes We cannot without circumstance descry.
  • Where be these enemies? Capulet! Montague!.
