“My sword, I say! Old Montague is come
And flourishes his blade in spite of me. Enter Old Montague and his Wife. Mon. Thou villain Capulet!- Hold me not, let me go.
M. Wife. Thou shalt not stir one foot to seek a foe.
Enter Prince Escalus, with his Train. Prince. Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace,
Profaners of this neighbour-stained steel- Will they not hear? What, ho! you men, you beasts,
