1 Embedding Quotations

But all so soon as the all-cheering sun Should in the farthest east begin to draw The shady curtains from Aurora’s bed, Away from light steals home my heavy son, And private in his chamber pens himself, Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, And makes himself an artificial night.” (I, I, 128-138)

But all so soon as the all-cheering sun/ Should in the farthest east begin to draw/ The shady curtains from Aurora’s bed,/ Away from light steals home my heavy son,/ And private in his chamber pens himself,/ Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out,/ And makes himself an artificial night.” This proves that Romeo is immature.
