Question

In modern English, what is Mercutio saying to Bevolio in the lines below (Mercutio 3)?

MERCUTIO (3)
Nay, an there were two such, we should have none
shortly, for one would kill the other. Thou! why,
thou wilt quarrel with a man that hath a hair more,
or a hair less, in his beard, than thou hast:

Answer 1

"Come on, let's not get mad and kill each other. It's silly to argue over the amount of hair in our beards."

"If we fight with the Capulets, we might all end up dead. You might even end up beardless and hairless."

"No, you would easily be killed. You aren't as much of a man as he is - he even has more hairs in his beard!"

"If there were two people like you, one would kill the other. You would argue with a man over the number of hairs in his beard!"
