As Romeo to Juliette

			
You’ve set the stage, spun your web,
Set dagger stage left.
And now, faire maiden, you play Laertes
As Juliette. With unction, potion, aplomb,
You propose an exclamation: ‘let us
Rehearse the scene, the final kiss; ‘tis
Good luck to play the saddest part
Before the curtain’s climb.
 
‘Drink deep, relax the throat. Good Romeo,
Say you love me. No, not like that,
As Romeo to Juliette’
