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. 135
[Nurse calls within.
I hear some noise within; dear love, adieu!—
Anon, good nurse!—Sweet Montague, be true.
Stay but a little, I will come again. [Exit.[C 1]

Rom. O blessed blessed night! I am afeard,
Being in night, all this is but a dream, 140
Too flattering-sweet[C 2] to be substantial.

Re-enter[C 3] Juliet, above.

Jul. Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed.
If that thy bent of love be honourable,[E 2]
Thy purpose marriage, send me word to-morrow,
By one that I'll procure to come to thee, 145
Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite[C 4],
And all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay,
And follow thee my lord[C 5] throughout the world.
