SAMPSON Gregory, o' 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 o' the 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 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 cruel with the maids, and 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 two of the house of the Montagues. |
SAMPSON My naked weapon is out: quarrel, I will back thee. | GREGORY How! turn thy back and run? |
SAMPSON Fear me not. | GREGORY No, marry; I fear thee! |
SAMPSON Let us take the law of our sides; let them begin. | GREGORY I will frown as I pass by, and let them take it as they list. |
SAMPSON Nay, as they dare. I will bite my thumb at them; which is a disgrace to them, if they bear it. |
