Romeo seized15 this opportunity to ask her, “Who is her mother?”
He was startled16 when he learnt that the mother was the Lady of the house and the girl was a Capulet, Juliet, Lord Capulet’s daughter.
Juliet, too, was curious to know the young man’s name and sent the nurse to make enquiries17. So she learnt that the young man she had kissed was a Montague, Romeo, the only son of her family’s enemy.
“My only love inspired by my only hate! Why must I love a detested enemy?” she lamented on the way back to her room.
Instead of returning home, Romeo left his friends, jumped over18 the garden wall and stopped under a balcony of the Capulet’s house.
Just then Juliet appeared at the balcony, speaking to herself,

O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore19 are you Romeo?
Deny20 your father and refuse your name;
Or, if you will not, be but sworn21 to my love,
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.

What’s a Montague? It is nor hand nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging22 to a man. O, be some other name!

At these words Romeo revealed his presence. “If you call me love, I will be baptized again and stop being Romeo. I hate my name, too, dear saint, because it is your enemy!”
“Though I have not heard a hundred words from your voice, I recognize it. Are you not Romeo, and a Montague?” asked Juliet.
And Romeo replied to her, “Neither of them if you do not like them!”
