Scene Two of Act II is argued to be the most famous scene of Romeo and Juliet. The lovers meet under the cover of darkness to profess their love to one another. The language is beautiful - poetic. However, if these two love-birds were around today, there's no way they would speak this way. For this assignment, you and your partner are to translate the lines of this scene into modern language.
