ting the scene of romeo and juliet, part 2
montague: many a morning hath he there been seen, with tears augmenting the fresh morning’s dew, adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs: but all so soon as the all - cheering sun should in the furthest east begin to draw (120) the shady curtains from aurora’s bed, away from light steals home my heavy son, and private in his chamber pens himself, shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, and makes himself an artificial night. (125) black and portentous must this humour prove unless good counsel may the cause remove.
benvolio: my noble uncle, do you know the cause?
montague: i neither know it nor can learn of him.
benvolio: have you importun’d him by any means? (130)
montague: both by myself and many other friends: but he, his own affections’ counsellor, is to himself, i will not say how true, but to himself so secret and so close,
