Even as a lyon would among the lambs be bold, Such was among the bashful maydes Mercutio to behold. «Un courtisan que, quelque part qu'il se trouvât, chacun tenait en très-haute estime, car il était courtois dans ses discours et devisait plaisamment; autant un lion serait hardi au milieu des agneaux, autant Mercutio le paraissait au milieu des jeunes filles timides.»
