You've missed a line at the end... "See how she leans her cheek upon her hand"

@smooph You are correct, sorry about that. Don't know how that got lost in the fold, but it's fixed now.

This is from Act II, Scene I... not Scene II.

I don't know whether it's quite pathetic or quite amazing that I've known this act by heart since I was 12, just because I was in love with Leonardo DiCaprio. >_>

I could've sworn I typed in "that" several times. And I know I typed in "love" but it didn't come up. Oh well.

@Ampd213 It is from Act II Scene II set in Capulet's orchard between Romeo and Juliet. Scene I is set on a lane by the wall of Capulet's orchard with Romeo and his buds, Mercutio and Benvolio.

@FearTheManatee Apparently the English department at Yale University incorrectly printed my copy then. According to their version (which is in "original works of Shakespeare" form), Scene II does not begin, until after Romeo and Juliet are through with their exchange, and the Friar enters. I do apologize for the critism, if you have some modernized version that says otherwise.

@Ampd213 No need to apologize. I've checked several versions now and they all have it as scene II, but seeing as it's a work that's been reprinted thousands of times, it's understandable that there are variations. I find it interesting.

@Ampd213, there's a lot of debate about whether or not Scene I ends after Benvolio's line "...To seek him here that means not to be found." Most do end it there (because of the change in mood and the slight setting shift to within the garden), while some prefer to retain the couplet ending with "He jests at scars that never felt a wound" within the same scene.
