ACT 1; Scene 1
>SAMPSON Gregory, on my word we’ll not carry coals.
>GREGORY No, for then we should be colliers.
>SAMPSON I mean, an we be in choler, we’ll draw.
>GREGORY Ay, while you live, draw your neck out of
collar.
>SAMPSON I strike quickly, being moved.
>GREGORY But thou art not quickly moved to strike.
>SAMPSON A dog of the house of Montague moves me.
>GREGORY To move is to stir, and to be valiant is to
stand. Therefore if thou art moved thou runn’st
away.
>SAMPSON A dog of that house shall move me to stand. I
will take the wall of any man or maid of Montague’s.
>GREGORY That shows thee a weak slave, for the weakest
goes to the wall.
>SAMPSON ’Tis true, and therefore women, being the
weaker vessels, are ever thrust to the wall. Therefore
I will push Montague’s men from the wall and
thrust his maids to the wall.
>GREGORY The quarrel is between our masters and us
their men.
>SAMPSON ’Tis all one. I will show myself a tyrant.
When I have fought with the men, I will be civil
with the maids; I will cut off their heads.
>GREGORY The heads of the maids?
>SAMPSON Ay, the heads of the maids, or their maidenheads.
Take it in what sense thou wilt.
>GREGORY They must take it in sense that feel it.
>SAMPSON Me they shall feel while I am able to stand,
and ’tis known I am a pretty piece of flesh.
>GREGORY ’Tis well thou art not fish; if thou hadst, thou
hadst been poor-john. Draw thy tool. Here comes
of the house of Montagues.

>Enter Abram with another Servingman.

>SAMPSON My naked weapon is out. Quarrel, I will back
thee.
