Benvolio: This wind you talk of blows us from ourselves;

Supper is done, and we shall come too late.

Romeo: I fear too early; for my mind misgives

Some consequence yet hanging in the stars

Shall bitterly begin his fearful date

With this night's revels, and expire the term

Of a despised life clos'd in my breast

By some vile forfeit of untimely death.

But he, that hath the steerage of my course,

Direct my sail!

William Shakespeare
