Sweet, so would I
Language: English
JULIET
[Sweet, so would I:
Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.]1
Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
Exit above
ROMEO
Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast!
Would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest!
[Hence will I to my ghostly father's cell,
His help to crave, and my dear hap to tell.]1

¿Y qué quisiera yo sino que lo fueras?
Language: Spanish (Español) after the English
JULIETA
¿Y qué quisiera yo sino que lo fueras?
aunque recelo que mis caricias habían de matarte.
¡Adiós, adiós! Triste es la ausencia y tan dulce la despedida,
que no sé cómo arrancarme de los hierros de esta ventana.
ROMEO
¡Que el sueño descanse en tus dulces ojos y la paz en tu alma!
¡Ojalá fuera yo el sueño, ojalá fuera yo la paz en que se duerme tu belleza!
De aquí voy a la celda donde mora mi piadoso confesor,
para pedirle ayuda y consejo en este trance.
