Question

Match each line from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet with today's language.

Answer 1

"Be not her maid, since she is envious." -> Don't serve her; she's jealous.

"That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet." -> Names are just labels; they don't mean anything.

"O! that I were a glove upon that hand, / That I might touch that cheek." -> I wish I could touch her face.

"Her eye discourses; I will answer it." -> She speaks with her eyes.
