William Shakespeare's lost play: "Romeo and Julius."
[Julius appears at a window]
[ROMEO] But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Julius is the sun.
Arise fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief ...
[And so forth and so on …]
[ROMEO] His eye discourses, I will answer it.
I am too bold, ’tis not to me he speaks;
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some, do entreat his eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
[Yada, yada … ]
[ROMEO] See, how he leans his taut cheeks upon his hand!
O, that I were a hand upon that hand,
That I might touch those cheeks!
He’s hot!
[ROMEO] He speaks!
O, speak again, bright angel! For thou art
As glorious to this night, being o’er my head …
Yo, I’m down here. At the wall. How ‘bout you let me up
So we can getteth it on ...
[JULIUS] O Romeo! Romeo! Where the hell are you Romeo? ...
O there you are ... If that thy bent of love be honorable,
Thy propose marriage, send me word tomorrow,
By one that I'll procure to come to thee,
Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite;
And all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay
And follow thee my lord throughout the world.
[ROMEO] Sounds like a plan!

[JULIUS] Oy!
