CAPULET

When the sun sets, the earth doth drizzle dew,

But for the sunset of my brother’s son

It rains downright.

How now, a conduit, girl? What, still in tears?

Evermore show’ring? In one little body 135

Thou counterfeits a bark, a sea, a wind.

For still thy eyes, which I may call the sea,

Do ebb and flow with tears; the bark thy body is,

Sailing in this salt flood; the winds thy sighs,

Who, raging with thy tears and they with them, 140

Without a sudden calm, will overset

Thy tempest-tossèd body.—How now, wife?

Have you delivered to her our decree?
