Nurse:
<\/strong>Ha ha ha! Go ahead and laugh
Ha ha ha! While you have the chance
You may laugh at me now but you\u2019ll end up in tears<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ha ha ha! Look at you lot: you don\u2019t know a thing
I am love\u2019s messenger
Cupid herself! Now where
Is sweet Romeo?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benvolio:
<\/strong>Ha ha ha! Take a look in a mirror
Ha ha ha! Looking like that
And you want to go after Romeo
There\u2019s not a girl yet that\u2019s made him fall<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All:
<\/strong>No matter how pretty the girl
It\u2019s hard to catch his heart
Pretty is ugly, ugly is pretty
Scars turn to dimples: love really is blind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nurse:
<\/strong>Ha ha ha! Look at you lot
Ha ha ha! You really don\u2019t know
The power of love has torn open the doors of his heart
And melted them down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mercutio:
<\/strong>Ha ha ha! What is love?
Ha ha ha! Love is fickle
What\u2019s love at night fades in the morning
And we\u2019re off after a false love:*
That\u2019s what men are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All:
<\/strong>No matter how pretty the girl
It\u2019s hard to catch a man\u2019s heart
Pretty is ugly, ugly is pretty
You\u2019ll be disillusioned from any love after one night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nurse:
<\/strong>No matter how handsome the man
It\u2019s hard to catch a woman\u2019s heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All:
<\/strong>Pretty is ugly, ugly is pretty
What\u2019s in fashion soon becomes tiresome
Love should be used and thrown out<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter how pretty the girl
It\u2019s hard to catch Romeo\u2019s heart
Pretty is ugly, ugly is pretty
Scars turn to dimples: love really is blind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
