Leonardo will sing! Leonardo, I pray thee, sing.
(Leonardo sings Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet)
What is a youth
Impetuous fire
What is a maid?
Ice and desire
The world wags on
A rose will bloom
It then will fade
So does a youth
So does the fairest maid
Comes a time
When one sweet smile
Has its season for a while
Then love's in love with me
Some they think only to marry
Others will tease and tarry
Mine is the very best parry
Cupid he rules us all
Caper the cape, sing me the song
Death will come soon to hush us along
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
Love is a pastime that never will pall
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
Cupid he rules us all

A rose will bloom
It then will fade
So does a youth
So does the fairest maid (Juliet gasps)
(Romeo) If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine,
the gentle sin is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth the rough touch with a gentle kiss
(Juliet) Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
(Romeo) Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
(Juliet) Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
(Romeo) O, then, dear saint,
let lips do what hands do.
They pray, grant thou,
lest faith turn to despair.
(Juliet) Saints do not move,
though grant for prayers' sake.
(Romeo) Then move not,
while my prayer's effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by thine,
my sin is purged.
(Romeo kisses Juliet)
Then have my lips the sin that they have took.
Sin from my lips?
O trespass sweetly urged!
Give me my sin again.
(Leonardo sings) A rose will bloom
It then will fade
So does a youth
So does the fairest maid
(Cheering and clapping)
(Nurse) Juliet! Lady Juliet!
(Juliet) Nurse?
(Nurse) Your mother craves a word with you.
Make haste, make haste!
(Romeo) What is her mother?
(Nurse) Marry, bachelor,
her mother is the lady of the house,
and a good lady, and a wise and virtuous.
I nursed her daughter that you talked withal.
I tell you, he that shall lay hold of her
shall have the chinks.
(Romeo) Is she a Capulet?
O dear account!
My life is my foe's debt.
