1) 'I never shall forget when she was weaned. I fed her, she wast the prettiest babe that e'er I nursed. And I might live to see her married once, I have my wish. She is like my child and she shall have the very best.' (Act 1, Scene 3, Lines 25, 60-63)

2) ' Romeo is not the flower of courtesy, yet he is an honest gentleman, and a courteous, and a kind, and a handsome one. Juliet shall marry him out of love, yet she shall carry the burden soon at night.'  (Act 2, Scene 6, Lines 42-43, 75)

3) 'It will, yet it Juliet will be a joyful woman and he will be a gentleman to her. If he were to deal double with her, truly it were an ill thing to be ofered to any gentlewoman, and very weak dealing. He shall not do this. But in him being a Montague, no easiness shall rest.' (Act 2, Scene 4, Lines 138-140,)

5) 'Faith, here it is. Romeo is banish'd; and all the world to nothing, That he dares ne'er come back to challenge her; Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. Then, since the case so stands as now it doth, I thought it best she married with the county.' (Act 3, Scene 5, Lines 212-217)

6)'O, Paris is a lovely gentleman, Romeo's a dishclout to him. I believe it is best she married with the County. She will be happy in this second match as she is living here and she no use of him. ' ( Act 3, Scene 5, lines 217-225)

7) 'I did not know at first that my lady was gone. . It was the most lamentable day, most woeful day that ever, ever, I did behold! Never was seen so black a day as that.  My poor lady had died all so sudden. O, it was a woeful day.' (Act 4, Scene 5, lines 50-54)
