O, be some other name!\nWhat's in a name? that which we call a rose\nBy any other name would smell as sweet.\n\nROMEO: I take thee at thy word:\nCall me but love, and I'll be new baptized;\nHenceforth I never will be Romeo.\n\nJULIET: What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night\nSo stumblest on my counsel?\n\nROMEO: By a name\nI know not how to tell thee who I am:\nMy name, dear saint, is hateful to myself,\nBecause it is an enemy to thee."
