Be not so long to speak, I long to die
If what thou speak’st speak not of remedy!.

Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt’s death,
And therefore have I little talked of love;
For Venus smiles not in a house of tears!.

Oh, look! Methinks I see my cousin’s ghost
Seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body,
Upon a rapier’s point!. Stay, Tybalt, stay!

I think Joe Dollar did a pretty good job but here are my thoughts!.
A!. (I think Joe missed a few things here)
Juliet, "Friar, if you aren't going to tell me how I can fix my problems with Romeo, then stop talking!. I will kill myself if you don't have any ideas!."
B!. (Joe got this right but if you don't speak gansta:)
Paris "Juliet's still sad that Tybalt has died so I haven't tried to flirt with her!. "For Venus smiles not in a house of tears" means that passion and lust aren't the thing a person is thinking about when they are very sad!. (Venus is the Roman god of love, passion, and beauty)
C!.Juliet thinks she sees her dead cousin Tybalt(who Romeo killed) looking to get revenge from Romeo!. She is frightened and wants Tybalt to go away)!. Hope that helped :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
