Romeo and Juliet
(Auto-generated)
- I fear, too early: for my mind misgives
Some consequence, yet hanging in the stars,
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night's revels; and expire the term
Of a despised life, clos'd in my breast,
By some vile forfeit of untimely death:
But He that hath the steerage of my course
Direct my sail!†p. 46.9 - I fear, too early: for my mind misgives
Some consequence, yet hanging in the stars,

By some vile forfeit of untimely death:
But He that hath the steerage of my course
Direct my sail!†p. 49.8 - Despised substance of divinest show!†
