3. O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?Deny thy father and refuse thy name;Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,And I'll no longer be a Capulet. 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,Nor arm, nor face, nor any other partBelonging to a man. O, be some other name!What's in a name? that which we call a roseBy any other name would smell as sweet;So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,Retain that dear perfection which he owesWithout that title. Romeo, doff thy name,And for that name which is no part of theeTake all myself.

Leave your family and abandon your nameOr if you won’t, marry meAnd I’ll become a Montague (Enemies of Juliet’s family) like youIt’s only your name that is a problemWhat is a Montague? It is not a hand nor foot,Nor an arm, nor any other part Of a person. I wish you were in a different family!What’s the purpose of a name?

We of the Spear-Danes in days of yore Of those folk-kings the glory have heard,How those noblemen brave-things did. Often Scyld, son of Scef, from enemy hostsfrom many people mead-benches took, terrorized warriors. After first he washelpless found, he knew the recompense for that, grew under the sky, in honors thrived,until to him each of the neighboring tribes over the whale-road had to submit,tribute yield. That was a good king! To him an heir was then born young in the yards,                him God sent the folk to comfort; distress he had seen that they before suffered leaderlessa long while. Them for that the Life-Lord, of-glory ruler, honor-on-earth granted;Beowulf was famed (renown wide spread), Scyld's heir in northern lands.
