Preface to Shakespeare

Act 1 — ACT I. SCENE vi. (1. v. 34.)

Reading edition

Good cousin Capulet.

This cousin Capulet is "unkle" in the paper of invitation, but as Capulet is described as old, "cousin" is probably the right word in both places. I know not how Capulet and his lady might agree, their ages were very disproportionate; he has been past masking for thirty years, and her age, as she tells Juliet is but eight and twenty.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
