What's in a name?

What's in a name?That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.

Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books,
But love from love,toward school with heavy books.

Yeh i finally read Romeo n Juliet.Thanks to dis spark notes edition i could understand it wel.His books r famous not coz of story but coz of dialogues Oh damn! how beautifully he writes.I should have bought more.Khair i wil get hold of them as i can.

(when juliet finds out the one she loves is a Montague)
Juliet-My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown,and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me,
That I must love a loathed enemy.

(in praise of juliet)
Romeo-Two fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business,do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres til thy return.
What if her eyes were there,they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars
As daylight doth a lamp.Her eye in heaven 
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.

(when he drinks poison)
Romeo-O you The doors of breath,seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death.
(romeo drank al poison not a drop left)
Juliet-I wil kiss thy lips.
Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,
To make me die with a restorative.

Very difficuly at first but so beautifully expressed.....
