Romeo: well, juliet, i will lie with thee to-night.

let's see for means: o mischief! thou art swift

to enter in the thoughts of desperate men.

i do remember an apothecary,

and hereabouts he dwells, which late i noted

in tatter'd weeds, with overwhelming brows,

culling of simples; meagre were his looks,

sharp misery had worn him to the bones:

and in his needy shop a tortoise hung,

an alligator stuff'd, and other skins

of ill-shap'd fishes; and about his shelves

a beggarly account of empty boxes,

green earthen pots, bladders, and musty seeds,

remnants of packthread, and old cakes of roses,

were thinly scatter'd, to make up a show.

noting this penury, to myself i said

an if a man did need a poison now,

whose sale is present death in mantua,

here lives a caitiff wretch would sell it him.

–romeo and juliet,
william shakespeare

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
