Lord Montague responds with “Both myself and many other friends. But he, own affections’ counselor, is to himself - I will not say how true, But to himself so secret and so close, so far from sounding and discovery, as is the bud bit with an envious worm ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air or dedicate his beauty to the same.
