Now old desire doth in his deathbed lie, / And young affection gapes to be his heir—
ANSWER--Chorus
Prologue, Act 2
Romeo's love for Rosaline is dead, and his new love for Juliet takes its place
I gave thee mine before thou didst request it.—ANSWER--Juliet
to Romeo on the balcony when he asked for her vow of love (he overheard hers to herself)
O Romeo, Romeo! - wherefore art thou Romeo? / Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if
thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, / And I'll no longer be a Capulet.—ANSWER--Juliet
to herself on the balcony daydreaming about Romeo getting rid of his name and marrying
her; wondering WHY he had to have a name that was forbidden
That which me call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet. / So Romeo would,
were he not Romeo called, / Retain that dear perfection which he owes / Without that
title.—ANSWER--Juliet
to herself on the balcony, comparing Romeo to a rose (metaphor) because the name doesn't
define either one
