An extract from Act 3, scene 1 Tybalt

Tybalt

Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford

No better term than this: thou art a villain.

Romeo

Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee

Doth much excuse the appertaining rage

To such a greeting. Villain am I none;

Therefore farewell, I see thou knowest me not.

Tybalt

Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries

That thou hast done me, therefore turn and draw.

Romeo

I do protest I never injuried thee,

But love thee better than thou canst devise,

Till thou shalt know the reason of my love,

And so, good Capulet—which name I tender

As dearly as mine own—be satisfied.

Mercutio

O calm, dishonorable, vile submission!

Alia stoccato carries it away.

Tybalt, you rat-catcher, will you walk?

Tybalt

What wouldst thou have with me?

Mercutio

Good King of Cats, nothing but one of your 

nine lives; that I mean to make bold withal, and

as you shall use me hereafter, dry-beat the rest of

the eight. Will you pluck your sword out of his

pilcher by the ears? Make haste, lest mine be

about your ears ere it be out.

Tybalt

I am for you.

Romeo

Gentle Mercutio, put thy rapier up.

Mercutio

Come, sir, your passado.

Romeo

Draw, Benvolio, beat down their weapons.

Gentlemen, for shame, forbear this outrage!

Tybalt, Mercutio, the Prince expressly hath

Forbid this
