If I profane with my unworthiest hand
     This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
     My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
     To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

JULIET

     Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
     Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
     For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
     And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.

ROMEO

     Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

JULIET

     Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

ROMEO

     O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
     They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

JULIET

     Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.

ROMEO

     Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
     Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.

JULIET

     Then have my lips the sin that they have took.

ROMEO

     Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
     Give me my sin again.

JULIET

     You kiss by the book.
