Julius Caesar

Written by William Shakespeare

[SCENE: Verona. A public place.]

Enter SAMPSON and GREGORY, of the house of Capulet, armed with swords and bucklers.

SAMPSON: Gregory, on my word, we'll not carry coals.

GREGORY: No, for then we should be colliers.

SAMPSON: I mean, an we be in choler, we'll draw.

GREGORY: Ay, while you live, draw your neck out o' the collar.

SAMPSON: I strike quickly, being moved.

GREGORY: But thou art not quickly moved to strike.

SAMPSON: A dog of the house of Montague moves me.

GREGORY: To move is to stir; and to be valiant is to stand: therefore, if thou art moved, thou runn'st away.

SAMPSON: A dog of that house shall move me to stand: I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montague's.
