Romeo and Juliet
Juliet:O serpent heart,hid with a flowering face!
Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave

A damned saint,an honorable villain!

a school in church.i have dogged him:
like his murderer.He does obey every point
of the letter that i dropped to betray him:

is in the new map with the augmentation of
the indies:you have not seen such a thing as

him:if she do,he'll smile and take it for
a great favour.

He never guessed...we mount and ride
To where our love can reign uneyed
He's clay,and we are free.
