Romeo and Juliet: First Folio Edition - Paperback

by William Shakespeare (Author)

This is the text of the 1623 printing of the first folio. The original spelling and punctuation are completely intact. I have made two minor changes. First, I have capitalized and spelled out the character names. Samp. And 'tis knowne I am a pretty peece of flesh becomes SAMPSON. And 'tis knowne I am a pretty peece of flesh. The second change is that I have put the prose lines into prose form. If there was any possibility that a prose line could scan, however awkwardly, I have left the verse-like form of the line as it appears in the folio. Again, the spelling and punctuation of the 1623 first folio text are entirely intact. If you enjoy this copy of Romeo and Juliet, please take a moment to review the book online.
