  1.  Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2.  Towards Phoebus’ lodging: such a wagoner<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. As Phaethon would whip you to the west,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. And bring in cloudy night immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. That runaway’s eyes may wink and Romeo<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Leap to these arms, untalk’d of and unseen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Lovers can see to do their amorous rites<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. By their own beauties; or, if love be blind,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. It best agrees with night. Come, civil night,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Thou sober-suited matron, all in black,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. And learn me how to lose a winning match,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Play’d for a pair of stainless maidenhoods:<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. Hood my unmann’d blood, bating in my cheeks,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. With thy black mantle; till strange love, grown bold,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  16. Think true love acted simple modesty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  17. Come, night; come, Romeo; come, thou day in night;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  18. For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  19. Whiter than new snow on a raven’s back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  20. Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow’d night,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  21. Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  22. Take him and cut him out in little stars,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  23. And he will make the face of heaven so fine<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  24. That all the world will be in love with night<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  25. And pay no worship to the garish sun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  26. O, I have bought the mansion of a love,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  27. But not possess’d it, and, though I am sold,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  28. Not yet enjoy’d: so tedious is this day<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  29. As is the night before some festival<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  30. To an impatient child that hath new robes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  31. And may not wear them. O, here comes my nurse,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  32. And she brings news; and every tongue that speaks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  33. But Romeo’s name speaks heavenly eloquence.
    Enter Nurse, with cords<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  34. Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  35. That Romeo bid thee fetch?
