Romeo to Juliet:
"If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss".
Juliet responds:
"Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss."
In response to Juliet's witty reply, Romeo says:
" Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?" to which Juliet answers playfully, "Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer"
Romeo playfully says: "O then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair".
"Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged" Romeo says as he kisses her hand. To this, Juliet says "Then have my lips the sin that they have took". Then Romeo responds" Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again!".
After they share the kiss, Juliet teasingly adds "You kiss by th' book"
These passionate and poetic exchanges between Romeo and Juliet highlight the intense affection and desire that sparks between them at their first encounter, setting the stage for the tragic love story that unfolds.
