What I have spoke: but farewell compliment! Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say “Ay,” And I will take thy word: yet if thou swear’st, Thou mayst prove false; at lovers’ perjuries Then say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,
If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully:

And therefore thou mayst think my ’haviuor light: But trust me, gentleman, I’ll prove more true Than those that have more cunning to be strange. I should have been more strange, I must confess, But that thou overheard’st, ere I was ware,
My true love’s passion: therefore pardon me, And not impute this yielding to light love, Which the dark night hath so discovered.
