“Ben. Go then, for 'tis in vain
'To seek him here that means not to be found. Exeunt. SCENE II. Capulet's orchard.
Enter Romeo. Rom. He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
Enter Juliet above at a window. But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun! Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief” source
