I have to agree with TD that the secret sonnet in R&J is the sweetest of all!. Here it is:

R-- If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss!.
J:-- Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss!.
R:-- Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too!?
J:-- Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer!.
R:-- O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair!.
J:-- Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake!.
R:-- Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take!.

Sadly, the play continues!.!.!. Otherwise maybe 125 about the holy trinity, or the baroque 24!. Of course, `Two households both alike in dignity!.!.!.' is rather spammy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
