    In act II there are lots of romantic lines but in my opinion the best of all is during the balcony scene. After Romeo does the light breaks speech Juliet replies and Romeo is so excited to hear her voice and see her that he says this. “o, speak again, bright angel, for thou art as glorious to this night, being o’er my head as is a winged messenger of heaven”. What Romeo is trying to say is that Juliet is an angel as beautiful as the night. Also this quote implies that Juliet is above Romeo due to when he says o’er my head. He also calls her a god. This quote in my opinion is romantic because angels are supposed to be the most beautiful things in the world and Romeo is comparing Juliet to one.

  3. "The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars
    As daylight doth a lamp her eyes in heaven"
    (Romeo-II ii 19-20)
    "My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
    My love as deep; the more I give to thee"
    (Juliet-II ii 133-134)

  4. The most famous, and most romantic scene of Romeo and Juliet is by far the balcony scene. This is where he pronounces his love to Juliet, which is naturally very romantic. "But sorft! what light thorugh yonder window breaks? It is the East and Juliet is the sun!". In this quote Romeo is trying to woo Juliet by comparing her to the brightness of the sun, and how she lights the sky. Which I think he succeded at. Another romantic quote was " OR, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a capulet." Juliet is saying that she would rather not be with her love/enemy than be a capulet, and she is willing to make that sacrafice for him.

    The two statements that I consider the most romantic statements within Act Two of Romeo and Juliet both occur during the balcony scene of the second scene.

    “With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls;
    For stony limits cannot hold love out,
    And what love can do, that dares love attempt.” (Romeo—II—ii—66-68)

    “I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far
    As that vast shore washed with the farthest sea,
    I should adventure for such merchandise.” (Romeo—II—ii—82-85)

  10. "Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;"
    (Act II Scene ii Line 50, Romeo)
    "Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow" (Act II Scene ii Line 185, Juliet)

  11. "With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls;
    For stony limits cannot hold love out,
    And what love can do, that dares love attempt."
    (Romeo, II, ii 769)

    "This bud of love, summer's ripening breath,
    May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet."
    (Juliet, II, ii 771)

  12. I think the most romantic lines in Act two scene two are :

    “With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls;
    For stony limits cannot hold love out,
    And what love can do, that dares love attempt.”
    (Romeo, II, ii.)

    "Her eye in heaven
    Would through the airy region stream so bright
    That birds would sing and think it were not night."
    (Romeo, II, ii.)

  13. But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
    It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!

    I take thee at thy word:
    Call me but love, and I’ll be new baptis’d;
    Henceforth I never will be Romeo.

  14. What's in a name? That which we call a rose
    By any other word would smell as sweet
    (Juliet,II,ii 42-43)
    My life were better ended by their hate
    Than death prorogued wanting of thy love.
    (Juliet,II,ii,77-78)

    I believe that the two most romantic lines in the play are for sure in Act 1 Scene 2. For the first it is, "So Romeo would, were he not Tomeo called, Retain that dear perfection which he owes" (Juliet, II, ii,768) The second one is also said by Juliet, "But to be frank and give it thee again. And yet i wish but for the thing I have. My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite." (Juliet, II, ii, 771) They are not only the most romantic lines in my opinion, but also the most intruiging.

  18. The two most romantic lines in the play are

    "Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
    Having some business, do entreat her eyes"
    (Romeo, II,ii,766)

    and

    "My life were better ended by their hate
    Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love"
    (Romeo, II,ii,769)

  19. "Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, having some business, do entreat her eyes to twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars as daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven would through the airy region stream so bright that birds would sing and think it were not night." (Romeo, II, ii, 15-22)

    "Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast! Would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest!" (Romeo, II, ii, 187-188)

  20. My favorite parts are when Romeo speaks of his love for Juliet, and he talks about her beauty and her lovely self in a poetic sense. He always seems to say the perfect things.
    "The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
    Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night." (Romeo, Act 11, Scene ii,766)

    "But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon" (Romeo, Act 11, Scene ii, 766)

  21. "But soft, what light through younder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the West." (Romeo, Act II, Scene ii, 766)

  25. One of the most romantic lines in this play would have had to been the part of Act II, Scene ii, Lines 26-32. The most important part of that section is when Romeo says to Juliet the following about her angel-like figure:

    "O, speak again bright angel!
    For thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head,
    As a winged messenger of heaven..." (Romeo, Act II, Scene ii, Lines 26-29)

    The second most romantic lines in this play would have to have been the part of Act II, Scene ii, Lines 21-22. The most important part of that speech was when Romeo said to Juliet the following about her beautiful eyes:

    "Would through the airy region stream so bright
    That birds would sing and think it is not night." (Romeo, Act II, Scene ii, Lines 21-22"
