Walajahi 1 Act 1: Poem 1 Romeo to Benvolio (Romeo is talking about how he loves Rosaline however she does not love him back) Salutations my friend, Benvolio Oh Benvolio, alas, mine heart desires a love that cannot last, A fair maiden whose body, is in the shape of an hour glass, An individual, who is also known as a war criminal, For the lady is wronging mine most important belonging, mine heart, Which hath been taken apart, by her disinterest in mine dramatic art, Oh Angel of love, where art thou when there is a lonely dove, deprived of affection, She hath such a bright complexion, that the moon would moveth from its’ angle of reflection, Oh Benvolio, can thou not see that Rosaline is the Marzipan to mine Tart, A lamp that can light up my life, should be a basic human right, Oh Benvolio, observe mine innocent love, before I part due to mine horrible luck.

Act 1: Poem 1Romeo to Benvolio(Romeo is talking about how he loves Rosaline however she does not love him back)Salutations my friend,BenvolioOh Benvolio, alas, mine heart desires a love that cannot last,A fair maiden whose body, is in the shape of an hour glass,An individual, who is also known as a war criminal,For the lady is wronging mine most important belonging, mine heart,Which hath been taken apart, by her disinterest in mine dramatic art,Oh Angel of love, where art thou when there is a lonely dove, deprived of affection,She hath such a bright complexion, that the moon would moveth from its angle of reflection,Oh Benvolio, can thou not see that Rosaline is the Marzipan to mine Tart,A lamp that can light up my life, should be a basic human right,Oh Benvolio, observe mine innocent love, before I part due to mine horrible luck.

Act 2: Poem 2Romeo to Juliet(Romeo is warning Juliet about how their families will never agree to the marriage)Greetings my love,JulietOh Juliet, mine love groweth stronger for thee each day,But my familys feud also hastens unfortunately,Thy beauty cannot compare to anyone or anything,Thy features make you distinguishable among the best of people,How dare doth call themselves irresistible,And thy speech hath such eloquence that it outmatches Gods messengers in the Heavens, Who art known for being exquisite, so much so that they are jealous of thy elegant behaviour,That is why I must have thee,We shalt get married no matter how our parents conceive of each other,Love is something that cannot be forced, but which intertwines with the special person,Oh Juliet, we shalt liveth no more under the laws of blasphemous love and mesmerizing hate.

Act 3: Poem 3Romeo to Tybalt(Romeo is warning Tybalt about how he should make peace instead of war)Dear closest enemy,TybaltOh Tybalt, has thee forgotten the way of our Lord and Saviour; Christ?When a mans ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him, (Proverbs 16:7),We must not fight just because the rage is strong,We should disengage and discuss the problems,We must control our emotions and enter peace,So that we are not cutteth into pieces and then decease,We should putteth aside our differences and embrace one another,For they sayeth, I am a Montague and you are a Capulet, but are we not brothers in humanity or in faith? Leaveth these titles for someone else to falleth upon and fight over,Brother I hope thee make a wise decision for the sake of life and death.

Act 4: Poem 4Romeo to Nurse(Romeo is telling the Nurse not to allow Juliet to marry Paris, but secretly, he knows that Juliet has already married her love)Dear faithful messengerNurseOh Nurse, please doth not maketh it even worse for me,Mine dear Juliet hath no interest in the mad Sir named Paris,Who hath embarrassed mine one and only love,Alloweth her to make the decision on who to marry,For the sake of Virgin Mary,Would thee rather marry a person who makes thee joyous, or maketh thy father joyous?Juliet hath fallen in love with me and so have I, Doth not becometh a burden for her or I will die,She is the most perfect being on the face of this earth that hath placed her trust,So alloweth her to liveth in harmony rather than liveth in disgust.

Act 5: Poem 5Romeo to Friar Lawrence(Friar sent a letter to Romeo which never got to him about how Juliet is not really dead. However Romeo does not receive the letter and tells Friar that he has just heard that Juliet has died, and he is going to her tomb but he may not come back.)Dear good friend,Friar LawrenceOh Friar heareth me,I have just hath heard my dear Juliet has died like an old fig tree,I must go to her at once, as I feeleth like a dunce,We had so many plans to maketh, but now shes at the hands of death,Oh God wherefore hath thee bestowed such a burden on me,I feeleth uncertain if this is reality,Oh Friar, I am going to rush to the tomb,But I may not resume life, because of mine tragic doomRather I will putteth on hold,For as long as Juliet lay in her fold.
