1 Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds,

2 Towards Phoebus' lodging: such a wagoner

3 As Phaëthon would whip you to the west,

4 And bring in cloudy night immediately.

5 Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night,

6 That runaways' eyes may wink and Romeo

7 Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen.

8 Lovers can see to do their amorous rites

9 By their own beauties; or, if love be blind,

10 It best agrees with night. Come, civil night,

11 Thou sober-suited matron, all in black,

12 And learn me how to lose a winning match,

13 Play'd for a pair of stainless maidenhoods.

14 Hood my unmann'd blood, bating in my cheeks,

15 With thy black mantle, till strange love grow bold,

16 Think true love acted simple modesty.

17 Come, night, come, Romeo, come, thou day in night;

18 For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night

19 Whiter than new snow on a raven's back.

20 Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow'd night,

21 Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall die,

22 Take him and cut him out in little stars,

23 And he will make the face of heaven so fine

24 That all the world will be in love with night

25 And pay no worship to the garish sun.

26 O, I have bought the mansion of a love,

27 But not possess'd it, and, though I am sold,

28 Not yet enjoy'd: so tedious is this day

29 As is the night before some festival

30 To an impatient child that hath new robes

31 And may not wear them. O, here comes my nurse,

32 And she brings news; and every tongue that speaks

33 But Romeo's name speaks heavenly eloquence.

sorry i know its long, im having trouble thank you so much !

  1. Juliet is waiting for Romeo on their wedding night to consummate their marriage.  She is waiting for the sun to go down, because Romeo will arrive after dark.  Every line in the speech is about anticipation, passion and/or her love for Romeo.

    These are the words of a a young woman desperately in love with the young man who will be arriving any minute to be her husband and her lover.  It's one of the most beautiful speeches in Shakespeare.
