This song is an acompaniment to the fight between member s of the rival households of Montague and Capulet.

lyrics

Abraham. Do you bite your thumb?
Sampson. I do bite my thumb, sir.
Abraham. But do you bite your thumb at us, sir?
Gregory. Do you quarrel, sir? Do you quarrel, sir?
Abraham. Quarrel, sir! Quarrel, sir! no, sir.
Sampson. Draw, if you be men.-- Draw, if you be men.— Gregory, remember thy swashing blow.

[They fight.][Enter Benvolio.]

Benvolio. Part, fools! Part, fools! Put up your swords ; you know not what you do.

[Beats down their swords.][Enter Tybalt.]

Tybalt Turn thee Benvolio, look upon thy death.
Turn thee Benvolio, look upon thy death.
Benvolio. I do but keep the peace: put up thy sword,
Or manage it to part these men with me.
Tybalt. Drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word
As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee:


[They fight.][Enter several of both Houses, who join the fray; then enter Citizens with clubs.]

Citizens. Clubs, bills, and partisans! strike! beat them down!
Citizens + Down with the Capulets!
Montagues

Citizens + Down with the Montagues!
Capulets

Citizens. Down with the Capulets!
Montagues

Citizens. Clubs, bills, and partisans! strike! beat them down!
Citizens + Down with the Capulets!
Montagues

Citizens + Down with the Montagues!
Capulets

All Down! Down! Down! With all of them!

[Enter Capulet in his gown, and Lady Capulet.]

Capulet. What noise is this?-- What noise is this?-- What noise is this?--Give me my long sword, ho!
Lady Capulet. A crutch, a crutch, a crutch!--Why call you for a sword?
Capulet. My sword, I say!-- My sword, I say!-- My sword, I say!--Old Montague is come,

[Enter Montague and his Lady Montague.]Break in Singing for one phrase.

Montague. Thou villain Capulet!-- Thou villain Capulet!-- Thou villain Capulet!—

Lady Montague.Thou shalt not stir, Thou shalt not stir, Thou shalt not stir one foot to seek a foe.

Montague. Hold me not, Hold me not, l Hold me not, let me go.
