Romeo as Juliette Husband

Ksey_Gan

To go or not to go, - that is the question;

* What is nobler in spirit - to submit

* To the splinters and scolding of a furious wife,

* Or, taking up arms against a sea of squabbles, to defeat them

* With confrontation? To ask for a divorce -

* And nothing more; and to say, with that you end

* Longing and a thousand unnecessary torments,

* The desires of the flesh - how such a denouement

* Not to thirst? To file for divorce . - To sleep!

* Can I marry again? That is the difficulty;

 

* Can I marry again? That's the difficulty;

* What kind of wife will I have  now

* When will I put on the wedding ring

* That's what confuses us; that's the reason

* That marriages sometimes last so long;

* Who would bear the reproaches and mockery in vain

* The strongest oppression of pride's mockery

* The pain of despised love, the false judgment,

* The arrogance of the spouse, the insults,

* Inflicted on the meek husband

* When he himself could resolve  a gig

* With a simple piece of paper ? Who would drag himself with a burden,

* To groan and sweat under the tedious life,

* When the fear of something worse:

* An unknown land, from which there is no return

* Earthly wanderers, - did not disturb the will,

* Inspiring us to endure our adversities

* And not to rush to others, hidden from us?

* So does reflection make us cowards,

* And so the natural color of determination

* Withers under the pale touch of thought,

* And undertakings, rising powerfully,

* Turning aside their course,

* Lose the name of action. But quieter!

* Ophelia? - An old woman

* Bring me slippers, nymph!
