Note 1 — GEORGE BRANDES (continued 2)

Here is a specimen. Romeo says to Juliet—

"Since, lady, that you like to honor me so much As to accept me for your spouse, I yeld my selfe for such. In true witness whereof, because I must depart, Till that my deed do prove my woord, I leave in pawne my hart. Tomorrow eke bestimes, before the sunne arise, To Fryer Lawrence will I wende, to learne his sage advise."
