Romeo and Juliet
(Auto-generated)
- —O, I have bought the mansion of a love,
But not possess'd it; and, though I am sold,
Not yet enjoy'd: so tedious is this day

To an impatient child that hath new robes,
And may not wear them.†p. 136.9 - —O, I have bought the mansion of a love,

And may not wear them.†p. 131.6 - I will be brief, for my short date of breath Is not so long as is a tedious tale.
