The Only Use of
unwieldy
in
Romeo and Juliet
- Had she affections and warm youthful blood,
She'd be as swift in motion as a ball;
My words would bandy her to my sweet love,

But old folks, many feign as they were dead;
Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead.†p. 110.6unwieldy = difficult to move or manage
