[laughter] Thou knowest the mask of night is on my face, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek For that which thou hast heard me speak tonight.
Fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny What I have spoke; but farewell compliment.
¿Me quieres?
I know thou wilt say "Ay," And I will take thy word; yet, if thou swear'st, Thou mayst prove false.
At lovers' perjuries, they say, Jove laughs.
La verdad, bello Romeo, es que me fascinas, Y tal vez por ello me creas ligera.
Pero... trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true Than those that have more cunning to be strange.
I should have been more strange, I must confess, But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware, My true-love passion.
Discúlpame.
Amor, te juro por la santa luna que recubre de plata aquellas copas ¿La luna?
Swear not by th' inconstant moon, That monthly changes in her circled orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
What shall I swear by?
Do not swear at all, Or if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self, Which is the god of my idolatry, y yo voy a creerte.
Si el tierno amor que hay en mi alma Well, do not swear.
Although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract tonight; It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden, Too like the lightning which doth cease to be Ere one can say "It lightens."
Buenas noches, cariño.
This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.
Adios ¿Me dejarás así de insatisfecho?
¿Y qué satisfaction esperas esta noche?
[laughter] Tu promesa de amor a cambio de la mía.
I gave thee mine before thou didst request it, Pero ojalá pudiera dártela de nuevo.
My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.
[Nurse calls from within] I hear some noise within.
Adiós, cariño mío Anon, good Nurse!
Sé fiel, Romeo, Aguarda un momento, no tardo.
