9. Figurative Language from Act II scene ii
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon
My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words of thy tongue’s uttering, yet I know the sound
With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls
There lies more peril in thine eyes than twenty of their swords
I have night’s cloak to hide me from their eyes
It is too rash…like the lightning which doth cease to be ere one can say it lightens
This bud of love, by summer’s ripening breath, may prove a beauteous flower
My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep
Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books, but love from love toward school with heavy looks
